  • Justice

    Justice

    Of course I looked "justice" up in the dictionary before I started to write this paper and I didn't find anything of interest except of course a common word in every definition, that being "fair".

    Justice in Book I of the Republic

    The Republic of Plato begins in a similar fashion that many other Platonic dialogues begin, with that of a question. The conversation between Socrates and the aged Cephalus becomes a philosophical discussion of what advantages money has brought to Cephalus' life.
