Therefore‚ for Socrates‚ no one would choose to do injustice since no one would choose what is more painful and bad. However‚ according to Vlastos‚ there is no suggestion here that the conclusion represents one of Polus’ standing convictions. Since the conclusion does not follow from anything Polus had said so far in this discussion‚ Socrates ‘mounts the above epagoge to win Polus’ acceptance of conclusion on the spot’. For Vlastos‚ Polus can reject premise 4 when Socrates tries to apply pleasure

Krishna’s advice to Arjuna and Socrates’ daimonion have several overlapping concepts‚ similarities‚ and differences.

In Plato’s dialogue Phaedo‚ there are a series of arguments presented by Socrates as proofs for the existence of the soul after death. The final and most convincing argument works as a direct application of Socrates’ idea of the Forms.

Everyone in the city is in a position that is deemed suitable according to their abilities and potential. His prime example is the guardians who are the best of the best and‚ thus‚ the rulers of the city. Socrates justifies the
