    society in which justice symbolizes the virtuous‚ since Plato believed justice is there to be the prescription for the evils. He used the Greek word "Dikaisyne" for justice which refers the work ‘morality’ or ‘righteousness’.

However‚ neither justice nor fairness

    Plato’s interpretation of justice as seen in ‘The Republic’ is a vastly different one when compared to what we and even the philosophers of his own time are accustomed to. Plato would say justice is the act of carrying out one’s duties as he is fitted with. Moreover‚ if one’s duties require one to lie or commit something else that is not traditionally viewed along with justice; that too is considered just by Plato’s accounts in ‘The Republic.’ I believe Plato’s account of justice‚ and his likely defense

    “What is justice?” The meaning of justice may mean almost anything in today’s society. During Plato’s time‚ however‚ justice is intimately connected with fairness. It is the idea that people should get what they deserve. Benevolence and mercy may lead us to give people more than they deserve but justice insists on them getting all and only what they deserve: nothing more‚ nothing less. In his infamous passage where Thrasymachus argues that Justice is whatever is in the interest of the stronger‚ Socrates

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote "One man’s justice is another’s injustice." This statement quite adequately describes the relation between definitions of justice presented by Polemarchus and Thrasymachus in Book I of the Republic. Polemarchus initially asserts that justice is "to give to each what is owed" (Republic 331d)‚ a definition he picked up from Simonides. Then‚ through the unrelenting questioning of Socrates‚ Polemarchus’ definition evolves into "doing good to friends and harm to enemies"
