Document Summary
Plato"s republic (4: differences between philosophers vs. lovers of sights and sounds (s&s) (counterfeit.

It is not just the case that justice is a good, but good has a special role to play such that it could never be the case that it would benefit you to be unjust. Just as health is an objective fact, you are not healthy just because you think you are, you are not sick just because you think you are just thinking that you are unhealthy does not mean you are. If this were the case, then thrasymachus counter argument would not work his argument is, i understand that justice is a good but there are other goods which include dominating other people.
