Defining Justice in Plato’s the Republic

Through the activities of the Republic of Plato, people discuss the true definition of justice. It is clear that Plato himself believes that justice is good, as it relates to the form of best profit. The Republic of Plato also explains that justice itself is worth and accompanies the happiness and reward it brings. However, since men always tend to pursue their own interests and benefits, it is impossible to achieve true justice because there are many forms and obstacles for humans.

In the Republic, Plato is trying to define justice, and by definition the justice itself shows value. By so doing, Plato began to explain the main concept of political justice and got a parallel model of individual justice. Essentially, justice is defined as the result of accurate logic or reasoning. However, it is worth noting that the democratic regime discussed by the Republic is different from today's democratic regime. - ... American soldiers killed our parents in front of their grandchildren. I gave up the tribe and told people to leave our house. I am wearing clothes and shoes, so I do not want to bloody, so I can get out of this place. Me and my tribe surrendered and traveled with the Americans. We have no choice, so we must surrender. It is a terrible day to see my people killed in front of me.

In Plato's work "Republic" there is a question as to whether the existence exists systematically. Because the Republic itself is an attempt to answer questions about human behavior, that is justice. In order to solve the problem of justice, Plato considers the relationship between the ideal city state, the autonomous collective unit, and the realization of the structure and justice of the republic. Plato thinks that the philosopher's king ought to be the ruler, as all philosophers are trying to find an ideal city state. "Calipolis" or a beautiful city is a legitimate city, political control depends on knowledge, the philosopher's king owns not power but power. In theory, it would be ideal if republics and modern states were dominated by knowledge rather than power, power is extremely important in the composition of political activities. This is a flaw in the discussion of Plato, which will be discussed in this paper. At the same time, some features of contemporary countries are consistent with an ideal city city that is inevitable.
