Description

Socrates asks what justice is, and whether the just man is happier, while Glaucon and Adeimantus hold the challenge. Thrasymachus, the city in speech, philosopher-rulers, the cave, and the soul’s three parts build an ideal polis to test whether justice pays. Usable listening dialogue: argument as spoken architecture, justice as city and soul in one shape.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
