Abstract

One of the central topics in PLATO's REPUBLIC is JUSTICE. In order to define JUSTICE, PLATO portrays a Utopia which is ruled by a Philosopher-King. He holds that JUSTICE must be settled within the individual as well as in the society. JUSTICE in the city would be found in the natural hierarchy and division of labor. Therefore, every individual works at that which he is naturally best suited. Correspondingly, JUSTICE in the soul means that each part of the soul does its own duty; thereby, coordination will be created inside the soul. So JUSTICE is the health of the soul and the vices are its malady. PLATOnic JUSTICE is of two levels, one that belongs only to philosophers and the other which is common among individuals. The philosopher takes advantage of both levels, i.e. he not only possesses the internal coordination, but also observes the forms of JUSTICE. Other people, though able to establish inner coordination through JUSTICE, are far away from true JUSTICE. But they are prone to come to observe the forms of JUSTICE through being nurtured by the guidance of the philosopher-king. PLATO's definition of JUSTICE is far beyond all conventional and legal affairs and refers to the origin of JUSTICE in the human soul: What the philosopher calls JUSTICE is rooted in the most profound nature of human being. The present paper deals with the above mentioned issues according to the REPUBLIC, and examines both the relation between POLITICS and ETHICS for PLATO and the elements involved in his ethical and political theories. For according to PLATO, POLITICS and ETHICS are inseparable and any kind of NURTURING, is the task and function of the society.
