"Justice of the City" Plato - Book 4 of the Republic
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). When we ask ourselves how Plato arrives at any decision it is easiest to understand that philosopher will lead us across the stream of our own lack of knowledge, stepping from one stone of definition to the next. Thus when we reach the "other side," or have picked up the knowledge, that we were seeking, we will wonder why we were ever distressed about crossing the stream, in the first place. This approach is used to lead us to understand that the qualities of the virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance and justice exist within the city and within ourselves.

"The Last Days Of Socrates" - Euthyphro's Actions
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Euthyphro thinks it is right for him to prosecute his own father because he claims to be pious in the action. Merely because he believes himself to be an authority due to his piousness, he therefore justifies what transpires from such belief. Moreover, Euthyphro's involvement in religion by virtue of being some sort of clergyman coupled with his authority about the gods cast him into a self-proclaimed expert on holiness. This, therefore, calls for him to demonstrate what he claims in order for his reasoning to be accepted, an objective he attempts to achieve in three tries. No additional sources cited.
