The Ancient Greeks on reason, virtue, politics, and justice.
Please respond to the following two sets of questions:
1. Since Socrates, what is the political significance of “reason” for the meaning of virtue for Plato and Aristotle? In other words, what role does reason and virtue play in politics, citizenship, and the formation of a good or just society? And, how does Aristotle’s view differ from Plato’s?
Note: These questions above overlap and are meant to ask the same question from a few different angles. Your response should meet a minimum 350 words and maximum 400-word count.
2. What is Plato’s idea of justice both for the individual and for the polity in Plato’s Republic? Your response to this second question should meet a minimum and maximum 200-250 word count.
Please start your own thread. For guidance, please refer to my criterion in the Introductions forum instructions and the following formal undergraduate rubric in Resources.
