0:29 The Characters

Socrates
Cephalus
Polemarchus
Thrashmachus (A sophist)

Cleitophan
Adeimantus
Gluacon

1:43 Exposition
*Justice*

- “Fulfilling your Obligations”
- “Helping one’s friends and harming one’s enemies”

4:26 - “The interest of the stronger.”

5:26 All arts are concerned with their own perfection

6:08 Why do they charge money? _The Art of Pay_

7:38 Why should we be just?
“Nice guys finish last”

8:35 It is beneficial to be just. Thieves work together to their benefit. They give justice to get better outcomes.

9:44 Inidividual Justice= Virtue of The Soul.

Problem: Soul is not defined.
