In The Republic‚ Plato plays around with the argument that it is better to be just than unjust. His vessel for showing this is through the forming of an “ideal” city. In this hypothetical city he creates a censored educational system and abolishes the “typical” family structure in hopes that the society would be just. Taking in the context and the time period‚ Socrates’ ideas were radical but plausible‚ if executed correctly. Through that execution‚ though‚ I am not completely convinced that human

Rulers seldom prioritize conditions which benefit those who are subservient to them‚ as personal advantage is a consistent ambition for those in power.

In the Republic‚ Socrates creates an imaginary city that is just known as Kallipolis in order to locate or find out what “justice” is. Justice is the last of the four virtues and can only be located once the other three virtues (wisdom‚ courage‚ and moderation) are found. To locate all of these virtues and ultimately justice‚ Socrates creates three classes in the city: craftsmen‚ guardians‚ and rulers. Wisdom is represented through the rulers‚ courage is represented through the guardians‚ and moderation

The prisoners would rather allow their imaginations to cloud

Definiton of Justice The Republic examines many different aspects of the human condition. Plato reveals his opinions of Socrates by showing how other humans function and interact with one another. Socrates looks very closely at morality and the most important values people choose to hold. One value Socrates and his colleagues spend a lot of time looking at is the principle of justice. Multiple definitions of justice are laid out while Socrates analyzes and questions the validity of them
