Document Summary
Athens. (d) not only would his escaping harm him, but it would also harm the city, and the city is like a parent. No evil can happen to a good man then life is not worth living with a corrupted body . One may thing that these two views are in tension with each other, because of their definition of a good man and their definition of a corrupted body. A good man is one who acts justly, and does not corrupt his soul. As long as he continues to do what is right and does what he believes in the will continue to be good. As long as he is good he cannot get hurt, this holds true even in the case of another physically harming him, as that does not harm the body. The only harm to the good man is partaking in an action that corrupts the body.
