Conclusion (456 b-c): De la conformité à la nature à la possibilité, la conséquence est bonne.

This outline refers to the following passage in Plato's Republic:

Then women of this sort must be chosen along with men of the same
sort to live with them and share their guardianship, seeing that they are
adequate for the task and akin to the men in nature.
Certainly.
And mustn’t we assign the same way of life to the same natures?
We must.
We’ve come round, then, to what we said before and have agreed that
it isn’t against nature to assign an education in music, poetry, and physical
training to the wives of the guardians.
Absolutely.
Then we’re not legislating impossibilities or indulging in mere wishful
thinking, since the law we established is in accord with nature. It’s rather
the way things are at present that seems to be against nature.
So it seems.
Now, weren’t we trying to determine whether our proposals were both
possible and optimal?
Yes, we were.
And haven’t we now agreed that they’re possible?
Yes.
