Document Summary
A just city requires education in certain things. Socrates claims it"s the start of the real argument. A group of jus men is stronger than a group of unjust men. It is good to be just for its own sake. This time argument is out of love. Glaucon isn"t persuaded, he did not show why justice is good in itself. That"s not the view of the many, rather it seems to belong . They make it seem like we participate in politics for some instrumental gain. Wants to show it is good in itself. The life of the perfectly just person is miserable and vice versa. Only people who take it seriously find the best argument. Find the best argument you want to defeat. First he argues naturally everyone seeks there own, no one is simply power to take over someone else. They know they cannot get away with unjust.
