Plato's Republic, Book II, Part 1 (pp 32-43) "Glaucon & Adeimantus"

1) Glaucon plays the "Devil's Advocate" and proposes three points for Socrates to respond to:

a) He gives an account of the origin of justice,

b) People are just not because they think it is good, but because they have to be (just),

c) Justice cannot be valuable for its own sake.

Sketch (about 25 words each) Glaucon's development of each point.

a) The origin of justice

b) People are just not because they think it is good to be so, but because they have to be.

c) Justice is not valuable for its own sake.

2. Before Socrates begins to answer Glaucon's arguments, Adeimantus presents some further remarks. What does he have to say about the way fathers counsel their sons to be just?

I have read pp 32-43.
