Thrasymachus on Justice - Dictionary of Arguments
Taureck I 71 Justice/ThrasymachusVsSkorates: (in Plato, Republic): Thrasymachos attacks Socrates's conversation. Playful modesty, is supposed to deceive the conversation partner. He also introduces arguments against opponents who had long since considered them. I 73 Def justice/Thrasymachus: The justice is nothing else but conducive to the strongest. I 74 Justice/SocratesVsThrasymachos: the ruling might be deceived in what is the most conducive. I 76 Justice/Thrasymachus: if the justly is a foreign good, it includes the injustice of those who possess it. I 77 The just ones are the fools. The justice is everywhere worse off than the unrighteous. Thrasymachus was the contemporary of the murderous war between Athens and Sparta. I 78 On a small scale, injustice is an evil and is punished. On the whole, it is the hallmark of leadership. It is conceivable that Thrasymachus was distorted by Plato as a horror image. Popper calls him a "political desperado of the worst sort".
