In Plato's Republic, after Cephalus exits the conversation, his son Polemarchus takes over the discussion with Socrates. The conversation quickly turns back to the nature of justice. Polemarchus initially agrees with his father's definition but refines it by citing the poet Simonides, who said that justice means giving each person what they are owed. Polemarchus interprets this to mean helping friends and harming enemies. • Socrates challenges this view by questioning the idea of harming anyone as a just action. He argues that harming someone would make them worse, and since justice is a virtue, it cannot involve making people worse. Polemarchus is pushed to reconsider his position, leading Socrates to further dissect the idea of helping friends and harming enemies. • Socrates then introduces a paradoxical twist. He suggests that if justice is about benefiting friends and harming enemies, it requires the just person to possess a skill akin to that of a thief—knowing how to take from others what they possess. However, since justice is a virtue and theft is a vice, Socrates argues that this cannot be the true nature of justice. This line of reasoning forces Polemarchus to see that his definition of justice is flawed, as it could lead to the conclusion that a just person would need to act like a thief, which contradicts the very concept of justice. • #PlatosRepublic • #Philosophy • #Socrates • #Justice • #AncientGreece • #PhilosophicalDebate • #Plato • #Ethics • #Polemarchus • #greekphilosophy • ___________________________________________________________________________ • short notes on the characters mentioned in the video: • Socrates: An influential ancient Greek philosopher known for his contributions to ethics and epistemology.

In the dialogue, Polemarchus offers a definition of justice based on giving each person their due and helping friends while harming enemies. His views are challenged and refined through the philosophical discussion with Socrates. • Simonides: A Greek poet known for his elegiac and epigrammatic poetry.
