- W2022322551 abstract "In my article written in 19471 I argued that the true position held by Thrasymachus in Republic I was that 'Justice is (the promotion of) another's good'. The initial statement that 'Justice is the interest of the stronger' was an incomplete statement of Thrasymachus' position, intended to shock and provoke, but correct for all cases where a subject (the ruled) was seen in relation to someone stronger than himself who ruled over him, since in such cases 'another's good' for the ruled is the interest of the stronger. I contended also that 'Justice is obedience to the laws' was likewise an imperfect statement of Thrasymachus' position, correct only for those cases where obedience to the laws involved seeking another's good. G. F. Hourani agrees2 that the first statement, 'Justice is the interest of the stronger', does not correctly state Thrasymachus' position, but he argues that the statement 'Justice is obedience to the laws' does represent his real position. I do not think that he proves his case, and I remain satisfied that my original analysis is correct, provided that we assume, as Hourani is prepared to assume with me, that there is a unitary doctrine which Thrasymachus holds, and he is not simply being driven from pillar to post in the course of argument. Hourani begins by assuming that when Thrasymachus makes two partially inconsistent statements about justice, namely 'Justice is serving the interest of the stronger' and 'Just action is obedience to the laws of one's state', one of these statements must represent what Thrasymachus really means. He then argues that as the first cannot be Thrasymachus' definition, the second must be so intended. This is quite unjustified. There is no more reason to suppose that the second constitutes a definition intended by Thrasymachus than that the first does. The question in each case must be whether the supposed definition accords with what Thrasymachus subsequently says. Hourani next makes a further assumption which seems to me not only wrong but dangerously wrong when used in the interpretation of Plato. He maintains that a 'synthetic' proposition or one resting on empirical" @default.
