/lit/ - Literature

Been reading Plato, and thought about something when reconciling with Euthyphro and The Republic

What makes the just, just? Socrates actually doesn't really answer it in The Republic, Thrasymachus and Polemarchus just say that it is either might makes right or being good to friends and evil to enemies. All Socrates says is that it is to your advantage to be just, and otherwise with being unjust. He then goes on Thrasymarchus argument that it is benefital to do just no matter what, which I can agree on. Socrates argument is that the just puts the soul in its right place, so that it is virtoustic.

However, what makes the just, just? Is those things that makes you virtous just? Or are things just in themselves and it is also happens to make you virtous?

Men er det virkelig så mange? Jeg hadde vært interessert i å lage en norsk general på lit, men er usikker på om vi hadde vært nok for å lage et ekte miljø.
