Question

At the end of the Euthyphro, Socrates explores whether or not piety is a part of this concept, concluding that the two are impossible to differentiate. In his namesake dialogue, Protagaras argues that this concept is necessary for political life and therefore all humans (-5[1])must be capable of it. (-5[1])A dialogue centered on defining this concept notes how someone can simultaneously feel excitement and disgust at seeing a corpse to argue for the division of the mind. In that dialogue, this concept is defined as the (*) “interest of the stronger” (10[1])by (10[1])Thrasymachus, prompting Glaucon (10[1])and Adeimantus to give a series of arguments trying to show that this concept is good for its own sake. For 10 points, (10[1])name this virtue that Socrates is asked to define in The Republic. ■END■ (0[1])
