Justice as Seen by Plato and Aeschylus
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the issue of justice as found in Plato’s “Republic” and Aeschylus’ “Oresteia”. Through the ten volumes of the Republic, Plato argues about the issues of justice, virtue and happiness which are all linked within an individual and if an individual is just, he will also be happy and this will be reflected in others as well as himself. Aeschylus outlined a similar theme in Oresteia except for the fact that along with the individual’s pursuit of justice, they should also consider the effect justice (in a tribunal) would have on Athenian society and also fear the gods when determining justice. Aeschylus wrote his play approximately 100 years before Socrates and Plato were born and the power of the gods and the preservation of Athens were much more dominant in philosophical beliefs. When Socrates came along a century later and bestowed that “justice was a virtue” and Plato continued the argument in its relation to the functioning of the soul, then the fear of the gods was taken out of the argument of justice and remained a “phantom” in the background. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
