I remind you, in this context, of Bill Clinton’s answer—“Because I could”—to the question of why he had an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. 9 39 THE STUDENTS REVOLT AGAINST UTOPIA What is interesting is the way Adeimantus, another of Plato’s brothers, joins in to support Glaucon. Glaucon presented arguments that were largely of his own making; Adeimantus quotes the established authority of others to illustrate problems with justice. But as Adeimantus reviews the descriptions of the gods offered in Homer and Hesiod, we get a glimpse of how skeptical young persons have become of received wisdom.
His grandfather accumulated the family fortune, his father squandered some of it, and Cephalus rates somewhere between the two in terms of his merchandising talents. Still, as opposed to Plato’s own aristocratic lineage, Cephalus belongs to a rising middle class in Athens whose wealth is tied to trade rather than land. You and I do not expect a polite dinner guest to draw attention to a host’s age or income, but Socrates does both. ” Cephalus takes the bait and plays the role of the wise man (though, as we shall see, Socrates plays him for a fool).
Finally, a few have self-governing souls dominated by a love of reason and knowledge; these and only these persons have the wisdom to discover the good on their own and to govern the city according to that knowledge. Socrates woos his young listeners into discussing justice in these terms by granting them the power to build their own perfect state from scratch. ” Nothing is to be rejected merely because it seems impossible. Socrates demands only that the young follow up on their concern for the place of justice in their own lives with a parallel concern for the place of justice in the life of the city.
