In the Republic, it is also written about a philosopher. Let me show you what they talk about him.
Socrates thinks a philosopher should become a king and govern a city. But, his idea will be disregarded, and he will come under severe criticism. In order to persade people who is against the idea, Socrates starts to define a philosopher. If he can make clear, those who is not for Socrates may get to know his theory.
First, Socrates asserts the philosophers are "the ones who are able to grasp what is always the same in all respects." Second, he says the philosophers "must hate falsehood and have a natural affection for the truth." Third, the philosophers must be temperate. On the contrary, they should not be money-loving and coward. Moreover, they have to be good at remembering.
Next, Socrates moves to the other topic which is how the good philosophers must be educated.
I found that he discuss the philosophers and provides me with the knowledge of philosophy and a philosopher.
