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, Protagoras argues that this concept is necessary for political life and therefore all humans 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” by Thrasymachus, (10[1])prompting Glaucon and Adeimantus to give a series of arguments trying to show that this concept is good for its own sake. For 10 points, name this virtue that Socrates is asked to define in The Republic. ■END■ (10[2])
