PHIL 1100 COMPLETE LATEST PLATOS
REPUBLIC BASED WITH QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What are the three categories of good things (things we "welcome"),
according to Glaucon? (357b-d) In what categories do clean air, a fishing
rod, a wrench, music, and love belong? Why? Do you think this is a clear
categorization? Why or why not? - correct answer-✅1. Intrinsic goods ( good for themselves) (music,
love).
2. Intrinsic and extrinsic goods (good for themselves and for their consequences) (Clean air)
3. Extrinsic goods (good for their consequences and what they bring you) (fishing rod, wrench).
- Not the best categorization because what is intrinsically good can be different for everyone and also it
is not clear (are feelings also consequences?)
In which category of good things does Glaucon believe that the just life belongs? Where does Socrates
believe that it belongs? Explain precisely how they disagree. (357a-358a) - correct answer-✅Glaucon
believes the just life is an extrinsic good. "Glaucon: one that must be practiced for the sake of the wages
and the popularity that come from a good reputation, but that is to be avoided just because of itself."
Socrates believes that it is both intrinsic and extrinsic. "Socrates: the one that anyone who is going to be
blessed with happiness must love both because of itself and because of it's consequences"
Explain the origin of the rules of justice according to Glaucon. What does this show about justice
according to Glaucon and is he right? Why or why
not? (358e-359c) - correct answer-✅- The badness of suffering far exceeds the goodness of doing it.
- Those who have tasted both come to an agreement to neither do or suffer injustice.
*
Explain the *Ring of Gyges* and why Glaucon brings it up. (359d-360e) What is it supposed to show
about being just? Does it show this? Why or why not? - correct answer-✅The myth of the Ring of Gyges
talks about a man who found a ring that when turned to the inside of his finger he became invisible.
With that ring he was able to seduce the kings wife and overthrow the king and take over Lydia. Glaucon
used this to show that no one would stay just if they were to be able to do what they wanted without
loosing good reputation.
**It is a good example, but it highly depends on the person and the severity of one's actions.**
Explain how Glaucon proposes to separate the just from the unjust life, in order to judge which is the
better life (360e-361d). What purpose does this separation serve for Glaucon's overall challenge? -
correct answer-✅The comparison of perfect justice and perfect injustice, take away the consequences.
(no one will prefer perfect justice)
*Perfect justice*- appearing to be injust but still being just.
*Perfect injustice*- appearing to be just but being injust.
- It shows that no one would choose to be just in this case, therefore justice is extrinsically good.
Summarize Adiemantus' replies (there are several) to the objection that one cannot get the benefits of
being just simply by appearing to be just, since it
is much too difficult to appear just when one is actually unjust. (365c-d) - correct answer-✅- It is
impossible to appear just when one is really unjust
- One may be able to fool others but they can't fool god.
Summarize Adiemantus' reply to the objection that, even if we manage to appear just to other people,
surely we cannot fool the gods. (365d-366b) Try
