柏拉图主张强制的灌输绝不会在人心里留下烙印。这意味着,理想城邦的成员必须发自内心地被理性的论证说服,真心觉得做一个理想城邦的公民是一种值得过的生活。所以,《理想国》一直在试图理解现实中人性的各种可能性,人所可能具有的许多种幸福观念。它试图构建一个理想的城邦,其中每一个阶层都是幸福的,即便他们有可能缺乏美德。但是,在他尝试去证明每个人在理想城邦中都能过上好的生活之前,苏格拉底首先得把他们从现在的糟糕生活中带出来,或者说使他们认识到自己现在的生活是很坏的。为此,他需要一个劝导性的幸福概念,一个普通人都可能会接受,并且可以用来证明他们现在的生活并不幸福的概念装置。它的目的是把人们从对现在生活的不知反思的满足或者失落中拉拽出来,因此它部分是反常识的,但又部分是依赖于常识的,希望借助人们内心固有的一些正确信念来帮助他们脱离谬误。
Plato’s assertive indoctrination will never leave a stigma on the mind. This means that the members of the ideal city-state must be persuaded by rational reasoning in their hearts and truly feel that being a citizen of a perfect city is a worthwhile life. Therefore, the “ideal nation” has been trying to understand the possibilities of human nature in reality and the many kinds of happiness concepts that people may have. It attempts to build an ideal city-state in which every class is happy, even though they may lack the virtue. But before he tries to prove that everyone can live a good life in a city of idealism, Socrates first of all had to bring them out of their present poor life or to make them realize that their present life bad. To this end, he needed a persuasive notion of happiness, a concept device that ordinary people might accept, and could be used to prove that their present life is unhappy. Its purpose is to pull people out of the irrational fulfillment or loss of present life, so it is partly unnatural but partially dependent on common sense, hoping to help others with the correct beliefs inherent in their hearts They are out of error.
