Welcome to the RU-vid channel "The Truth"!
Socrates argues that humans naturally prefer justice and would rather pay their debts than escape punishment, unless they lack wisdom. True rhetoric, he says, should guide individuals toward just punishment, healing the soul, while using rhetoric to hide injustice is the cruelest act, trapping the wrongdoer in their own evil.
He critiques historical figures who, despite their eloquence, left society more corrupt. The Socratic method has deeply influenced Western moral philosophy, though Gregory Vlastos challenges Socrates' assumptions, questioning whether committing injustice is truly worse than suffering it and arguing that the link between ugliness, pain, and evil is too simplistic.
