* David Polansky, Human Resources, at "The New Atlantis".

* Brian O'Boyle, Plato's Philosophy Is an Aristocratic Attack on Democracy and Popular Rule, at "Jacobin". I think, however, the argument overlooks the extent to which the account in the Republic is specifically linked to the problem of pleonexia, the craving for more and more.

* Francesco Berto and Mark Jago, Impossible Worlds, at the SEP. Berto and Jago's book, Impossible Worlds, of which the article in great measure a summary, is excellent; I recently read it and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in possible world semantics.
