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 (-5[1])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[1]0[1])
