Is Justice Profitable?

Is Justice beneficial? Glaucon tried to prove that injustice is better than justice. First, Glacon agreed with Socrates that justice is a good thing, but highly appreciates the essence of that good. He raises three kinds of "good"; good things (such as playing games) for their own interests, good things have good things themselves (reading etc.), but their Pain has good results (such as surgery). . Socrates replied that justice "belongs to the fairest class and happy people love themselves and their consequences." (45d) Glaucon then repeats the position that the unjust people of Thrasymachus will lead a better life.

Trasimachus argues that injustice is more beneficial than justice, asserts that justice is innocence of nobility and injustice is good advice. He said that "people who can become completely unfair ... and people who can conquer cities and tribes" are good and cautious. He said that injustice is a relationship between virtue and wisdom, justice is the opposite of them. Socrates said, "If you agree that injustice is beneficial, but it is malignant or disgraceful ... we have something to say ... but that is Because ... ... corruption is fair and powerful, you dare to put it in the camp of virtue and wisdom, so that you can tell all the other things that we recorded in the past It will be attributed to, and Thrasymachus agrees

Socrates believes that virtues are good and good virtues are beneficial to us. Therefore, virtues such as justice, godliness, courage are beneficial to those exercising them. But the abuse of these virtues sometimes hurt us. Therefore, through wisdom we understand many virtues correctly. Therefore, the assumption that becoming true virtue is wisdom, or at least two are closely related. In addition, if we could teach virtue, are there some great and moral people in Greece like semistokles, pellicles, and tusidesides why are considered morally corrupt in the Lord? Of course, if virtue is taught, then these great leaders will ensure that they will drip to the child.

Within the Plato Republic, Plato often returns to profitability within the range of justice. In most cases, it is difficult to associate profitability with justice because the problem is purely subjective. The reason for the problem in the overall discussion is that justice must be regarded as good and at the same time it must provide benefits or "benefits" to most communities. Plato does not believe that democracy is a beneficial adventure as far as the whole city state is concerned. Because his ideal ideals are driven out of irrational and impulsive violent thinking.
