ESSAY ON: Plato/The Republic

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that examines the arguments put forth in Plato's Republic, books 1 and 2, concerning morality and the nature of justice. Plato has both Thrasymachus and Glaucon argue that what the concept of "Good" has no political relevance. But as Socrates' reply to this argument demonstrates, this premise falls through when examined closely. Because Thrasymachus states his position so emphatically, all that is necessary to refute his position is to demonstrate that "Good" or virtue has a degree of political relevance. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
