    Part 2 in an attempt at an organizational chart of Plato's Cretan City. In order to form the full org chart, the PARTS NEED TO BE COMBINED LEFT TO RIGHT, with the parts ordered 1, 2, 3, then 4. The information was taken from this book: Plato's Cretan City: A Historical Interpretation of the Laws Glenn Raymond Morrow https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0691024847 IMPT NOTE: best understood in the context of the book above; the presentation of the hierarchies may need some adjustment. I do not present myself as an authority on this subject, these are my comprehensive personal notes on the matter that I share with the public. I did this as one of our class projects for a philosophy class on ethics by Father David in Ateneo de Manila University during December of 2013. In short, I crammed this for class. At the same time, my one standards are so over the top I tried to do the org chart (with role explanations) of the whole book on my own, haha. This needs someone's fact checking and editing. Improvements are very welcome! I'm uploading this also because I never found an organizational chart of Plato's Cretan Colony on the internet. Based on what I read in Glen Morrow's book, Plato took great pains to imagine his ideal government/state. I think it might even be an interesting social experiment to implement. (Interesting, but dangerous and costly to implement. Costly because Plato's emphasis on education means decades of many people's lives. One would also need a lot of infrastructure. Dangerous because Plato's system requires wise rulers. Unwise rulers would only lead this system to tyranny. ) This may have great educational value to some. I'd love to see a much-improved infographic version on the internet.
