Document Summary
Rather book i ends in an impasse or aporia : plato"s philosophy advances through socrates as a mouthpiece, key terms. Dikaiosun (justice, a just person does not cheat or steal to take more than his/ her fair share) Pleonexia (greed, acquisitiveness, desire to outdo others by having more of some limited good than that) Aret (virtue/excellence, denote general excellence beyond moral virtue, the excellences of a human being, connected to human good) Techn (craft, skill, expertise, allows you to produce some good reliably, medicine is plato"s favourite example (they have expertise that allows them to produce health reliably) However, main speakers after book one besides socrates are plato"s brothers glaucon and adeimantus: cephalus. Socrates converses with cephalus, introduces justice to the republic. Old age: a blessing to be freed from the tyranny of bodily appetites and pleasures, brings a calm, begins the theme of appetites as part of the tripartite soul.
