AbstractIn the scholarly literature on Plato’s Republic, one of the abiding questions has been and remains: why must the philosopher return to the cave? Socrates’s claim that philosophers will do so willingly thanks to their feeling of duty to the polis is rather unsatisfying and doesn’t mesh with the ethical framework presented by the Republic as a whole. Here, I draw on the work of Eric Voegelin and John von Heyking, in order to propose a two-axis model of what I call the erotic-hermetic structure of the philosophical life. By emphasizing the horizontal (i.e. hermetic, or interpersonal) element of the philosophical life, I argue that the philosopher, in order to be what he or she is in the fullest sense, must return to the cave. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 All references to Plato’s Republic are cited using Stephanus numbers. The edition cited throughout is Plato, The Republic of Plato, trans. Francis MacDonald Cornford (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1941).2 For a concise statement of the nature of the problem, see Timothy A. Mahoney, “Do Plato’s Philosopher-Rulers Sacrifice Self-Interest to Justice?,” Phronesis 37, no. 3 (1992): 265–7.3 Julia Annas, An Introduction to Plato’s Republic (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981), 269; Zdravko Planinc, Plato’s Political Philosophy: Prudence in the Republic and the Laws (Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Press, 1991), 36.4 Planinc, Plato’s Political Philosophy: Prudence in the Republic and the Laws, 36. It should also be noted that others have attempted to solve the problem by arguing that Plato's “real” definition of justice is found in Book I, where Socrates asserts that justice really means not harming others (335e). See Roslyn Weiss, Philosophers in the Republic: Plato’s Two Paradigms (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2012), 189–90.5 Gabriel Zamosc, “The Political Significance of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave,” Ideas y Valores 66, no. 165 (2017): 238.6 Nettleship provides the classic statement on the parallels between the divided line and the allegory of the cave.

This paper discusses the two creation stories of Genesis, arguing that the theology inherent to them does not support the standard assumption of divine and political sovereignty being analogous concepts. God has endowed Man with unique faculties necessary to act as God’s vicar within creation, but these faculties have become essentially distorted by the Fall. Although, understandably, there is precious little in the Bible about how Man’s governing would have been like, there are some important insights the text offers; and the analysis of the Fall and its aftermath gives us further clues to that. Essentially, Man’s faculties of making distinctions, realizing goodness, being able to recognize his divine mission, and acknowledge the other as a partner, have become fundamentally distorted, and are being inevitably abused. Outside the Eden, we have no other choice but to rely on these faculties in politics, in the City. The Bible is a constant reminder, however, that these faculties are inherently corruptive. Thus, contra Carl Schmitt’s presumption, theological concepts, inasmuch as they are meant to capture truth (though deficiently), cannot be secularized, only abused. Biblical political theology is essentially critical of positive political theory.
