Document Summary
Week 3: professor ryan mckinnell: polus will trap himself. Because it is the harder thing to do: 474 c-d polus modifies his previous position, while suffering injustice is still worse, it is more shameful to commit injustice. He makes this distinction because it deals with reputation. If something is admirable it must be useful and beneficial. When one of two shameful things is more shameful than the other it is because it surpasses the other in uselessness. It must be better to have your actions corrected and set on the right path. Socrates always makes relations to a craft or an art, so that to be disciplined is better. So that one learns, and can be beneficial and pleasurable: corruption of the soul speaks to who you are as a person. Justice is something you can choose to do. For the soul you need to turn to judges. The tyrant must be the most corrupted and unhappy.
