    Thank you for these vids. I know you probably made them for your students, but I'm reading this as non student and always be sure to get another point of view to reaffirm what I just read and make sure I did not misunderstand anything here. Im past my school days but want to catch up on what I missed out on the interesting world of philosophy. Thank you.

    I have a background in science and have recently taken an interest in philosophy and Plato's republic is book I started with and I have to admit more then half of the time I don't know what is going on and also the English is a bit hard to understand . I have to read the same sentence a couple of times to understand it and then I move on to the next page , by the time I am done with this new page I don't remember what I understood in the previous page. I thank you sir for your efforts it's a big help.

    You can think of the book as multiple people giving their conflicting opinions on what justice is and what the just society would look like So don't expect one page to support the next in the same way that in a conversation on justice one speaker doesn't support the next but rather all are tied to the same subject of justice

    To answer this week's question I think that it is easier to seem Just while being unjust than to seem Unjust while being just when one holds the position that this material world is all there is. If all that matters is only what is seen in this world than all that matters is what it seems. If on the other hand I hold the belief that I am more than this finite material being and that my true self is an infinite soul, well then the Being Just is of utmost importance in the context of infinity and to seem unjust for a flicker of time in the limited earthly form is of little importance.

    to complete an ardous goal, there must be a carrot at the end of the stick and something pleasurable about the process in order to maintain focus. a strong why--> a strong will + enjoyment of the self in the betterment process = consistent incremental progress

    For the Natural origin of Justice did you mean 358 e-359c? I am self studying philosophy as a high school student and could not find that section (258e) in the book
