Today, I am showing you that how Socrates and Thrasymachus who is also a sophist of Ancient Greece discuss the definition of justice in the book.

Thrasymachus proclaim that "justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger."
Soon later, his assertion becomes the other way around because of dialogue with Socrates.

Socrates tries to understand what his proclaim really means. So, he get Thrasymachus to provide further information on this.

Then, Thrasymachus says that "rulers enact a law with a view to their several interests and these laws, which are made by them for their own interests are the justice no matter what the forms of government are in each states. Therefore, he strongly believe that the justice is the interest of the stronger."

In the next stage, Socrates questions "Then in making their laws they may sometimes make them rightly, and sometimes not? " What he want to make sure is that "it is also the justice the subjects obey the laws which is not established rightly."

This is just a little part of the context. I'll keep on reading it.

See you,
