Some Morsels from Plato's Table

By George Theodoridis

Justice, of course was Socrates' most elusive Virtue, trying almost all of his adult life to find a full and detailed definition of it and to ask questions about it, such as, what was it? Was Justice a good thing or a bad one? Was it a necessary attribute for the running of a city? Socrates was now a central part of the litany that worked towards building this virtue, Justice. I have translated and collected the enclosed three dialogues and the Allegory of the Cave (four of the most delicious morsels on Plato's table) because it is my view that here Socrates elaborates on his views about Justice and its importance not only in the proper - the just - function of a city but also in the manner that would make man's running of his affairs virtuous. After the death of Socrates, Plato went off on a world tour that took him almost a decade. When he came back, he established his Academy and then began to write his thoughts, always with the aim of pointing out that what had caused his teacher's death was not Justice but her rival, Injustice. He wrote some thirty-six "Dialogues," including his seminal works, "The Republic and the Laws" (Η Πολιτεα, and Οι Νµοι).
