Project Gutenberg 2012-08-07 Public domain in the USA. 286 Grote, George 1794 1871 Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates, 3rd ed. Volume 4 Produced by Ed Brandon as part of the on-line Grote Project "Plato and the Other Companions of Sokrates" by George Grote is a scholarly examination of the dialogues of Plato, specifically focusing on the Republic, and it was written in the late 19th century. This volume, part of a multi-volume series, delves deeply into philosophical concepts, particularly the nature of justice and its implications for individual happiness and societal structure. Through a rigorous analysis of dialogues featuring Socrates and his interlocutors, the work engages with profound subjects such as ethics, politics, and the essence of a good life. The opening of the text introduces the foundation of Plato's inquiry into justice, as presented in the Republic. It outlines the initial discussion among characters including Socrates, Polemarchus, and Thrasymachus, who engage in defining justice and its practical implications. Through Socrates' dialectical method, the text explores varying definitions of justice, challenging prevailing notions and examining the contradictions that arise when applying these ideas to real-world scenarios. The dialogue sets the stage for an in-depth philosophical exploration, revealing how justice affects individual and societal well-being, while also questioning the intrinsic nature of justice as separate from its consequences.
