Chapter1 of the Book, the Republic

I would like to convey you the impressive contexts what I've found in the book today.

"Any techniques or governance are not supposed to give people who use it their interestes, but supposed to give people who is ruled their interests. In that case, intersts for subjects who are the weak are the more important than interests for the strong."

From these words, I learned that the ruler or the stronger should consider the interests for the subjects or the weak first. By the way, there are the processes how Socrates came to the conclution at last. It is interesting all the persons who appear in the book will agree with Socrates' opinion in the end despite some persons were not totally agree with him at first. This means Socrates was brilliant to bring other persons to have the correct ideas.

See you,

Misaki
