24. 367 Moral Character and Harm.

This study guide examines Socrates' trial and his defense against corrupting youth. It also explores his willingness to accept his death. It is a good guide to understanding his argument and the writer validates that Socrates'' high values are worth more than the simple revenge of Athens.

Easy to understand and a logical approach to explaining the argument. The writer concludes the people of Athens can still redeem themselves and see their error.

25. 421 Self-Character and Harm.

This guide contends that a pure person cannot be harmed by death. It explains, in simple terms Socrates' argument in Apology that his death is not harmful because his purity will carry on. This is a fairly complex guide and best suited to someone familiar with the argument. Socrates contends the gods recognize moral character, and thus he is not at risk on this earth. Plato's Apology documents Socrates' plea to the jury of Athens before he is sentenced to death for "corrupting the minds of the young, and for believing in deities of his own invention instead of the gods recognized by the state" (42c). However, throughout the course of his discourse to the jury, Socrates is able to show that moral character and virtue are the true values of life and that is it impossible for this "corrupt" jury to harm a good man and that even the sentence of death cannot bring harm because of Socrates' moral character.

26. 428 Socrates on the Value of Justice.

This guide explains Socrates'' argument that justice has value on its own and should be sought. He states that the things we value are often false and we must be rational in our choices or the short-term pleasures will deprive us of our true value. Human beings have many different motivations in life and they have many different reasons for caring about things and wanting them to be part of their existence. There are certain virtues that men have always valued, but Glaucon and Socrates seem to disagree on the value of the virtues and why people give them credence and why they care about them. Socrates believes that the virtue of justice is valuable all on its own and that it should be an integral part of the person while Glaucon believes that justice is one of the things that people place value in because of what it brings.

27. 427 Socrates and his Explanation of Moral Character and Harm.

This study guide shows that Socrates cannot be guilty of harming youth because his intentions are pure and honesty cannot harm. It also supports Socrates' argument that God has sent him to do specific work and tell the truth. He cannot be harmed by his death because of his purity. The author concludes that those of moral character cannot be harmed even by death. A very basic explanation of the ancient argument. Is there a clear relationship between morality and harm? Is there a relationship between moral character and harm? Socrates believed that there was and he used this relationship to show that he could not be guilty of "corrupting youth " (24c) or "generalized meddling" (25a) with the people of the city of Athens. Even placed on trial for his life he was not willing to waver in his position or to accept a lower moral standard because this moral standard would cause him harm.

28. 426 Should Justice be Valued on its Own?

This guide explains that justice has value on its own among all elements of life. The writer explains the theory, shows that short-term pleasures are inferior, and proves that injustice is a human and not a pure condition. A good start for people not familiar with the argument between Socrates and Glaucon in Apology as Socrates tries to plead for his life and show that his death will not bring harm. Men are creatures of value and there are things in their lives that they crave and desire. Men value material things as well as emotional ones, but the primary question in this inquiry is on what basis should some things be valued. Socrates contends that justice should be valued for its own sake and not what it produces, but his companions believe that justice should be valued only because of the rewards it produces. Glaucon beliefs that justice is something that should be valued because of its rewards and he and Ademimantus contend that people are going to measure their actions based on rewards and accountability. However, it is ultimately Socrates who gives the best explanation and shows that justice does have value for its own sake.
