Timaeus is my favorite.

Thanks for doing these lectures. Stay cool!

Justice addresses injustice. The question is not what is justice, but what is unjust: injustice? It seems easier to identify injustice. Indeed it seems to invoke strong emotions in people, including hate. I don't mean hate is the sign of injustice, but it can be. Certainly anger is justified by injustice. Justice therefore is repairing injustice.

Thanks. We can't do you justice for your amazing lectures!

I am... JUSTICE!

Is it just me missing something or the professor is referring to Socrates in the lecture as while he should be referring to Plato. Can anyone care to explain?

Yes-Socrates is Plato's teacher, and also a character in the dialogues Plato wrote. In the early dialogues Socrates the character seems to reflect the views of the historical Socrates, so far as we can reconstruct them. (Socrates himself wrote nothing.) By the middle period, in which the Republic falls, Plato is using Socrates the character for his own purposes, and it's harder to say whether this is what the real Socrates would have said.

Whether by group, tribe or individual the concept of materialistic justice is entirely arbitrary, and always political. Devoid of a higher authority than man, ie materialism, do as thou wilts shall be the whole of the law, and might makes right and always has. Stronger nations or political groups will impose their opinion of justice on the weaker, this is historical truth. Only with God outside of mans evil heart can justice be realized. God Bless you all.

so the awnser is.... no one knows lol.
