A Hypothetical Discussion between Socrates from Plato’s “Republic” and Hector from Homer’s “The Iliad” in Regards to War and Justice
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper which develops a line of discussion between Socrates and Hector from “The Iliad”. In Plato’s “The Republic” written in 360 BCE, Socrates is presented in different levels of dialogue which in many instances examine the aspect of war and justice. In Book I (332a-336d), Socrates discusses aspects of justice in war with Polemarchus, the lord of war. The dialogue between Polemarchus in regards to some just actions during war could be seen an area in which Hector from Homer’s “The Iliad” written in 800 BCE would have plenty of input if given the chance. While Hector originally comes off as a staid warrior, similar to that of Polemarchus, Hector nevertheless is able to negotiate and implement contracts with his “enemies” which would in the end be satisfactory to Socrates who found justice was not necessarily found in treating a friend well and an enemy cruelly but indeed treating a just man justly. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

A Look at the Theories Posed by Rawls and Nozick
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Philosopher John Rawls' contention of justice states that if a particular institution imparts its own definition of equity that does not equate with the masses, then that institution must either be abolished or reformed. Indeed, the author's egalitarian argument is based upon the fact that justice, in and of itself, is the sole factor that supports social institutions; however, the concept of justice must be the same across the board in order for it to be properly implemented. This paper compares Rawls' theory to that of Nozick's entitlement of a free market. Bibliography shows 5 sources.
