τὸν λόγον , ὁποῖόν τι τυγχάνει ὂν δικαιοσύνη πρὸς ἀδικίαν . ἐλέχθη γάρ που ὅτι καὶ δυνατώτερον καὶ ἰσχυρότερον εἴη ἀδικία δικαιοσύνης : νῦν δέ γ᾽ , ἔφην , εἴπερ σοφία τε καὶ ἀρετή ἐστιν δικαιοσύνη , ῥᾳδίως οἶμαι φανήσεται καὶ ἰσχυρότερον ἀδικίας , ἐπειδήπερ ἐστὶν ἀμαθία ἀδικία— οὐδεὶς ἂν ἔτι τοῦτο ἀγνοήσειεν—ἀλλ᾽ οὔ τι οὕτως ἁπλῶς , Θρασύμαχε , ἔγωγε ἐπιθυμῶ , ἀλλὰ τῇδέ πῃ σκέψασθαι :


b
πόλιν φαίης ἂν ἄδικον εἶναι καὶ ἄλλας πόλεις ἐπιχειρεῖν δουλοῦσθαι ἀδίκως καὶ καταδεδουλῶσθαι , πολλὰς δὲ καὶ ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτῇ ἔχειν δουλωσαμένην ;
πῶς γὰρ οὔκ ; ἔφη . καὶ τοῦτό γε ἀρίστη μάλιστα ποιήσει καὶ τελεώτατα οὖσα ἄδικος .
μανθάνω , ἔφην , ὅτι σὸς οὗτος ἦν λόγος . ἀλλὰ τόδε περὶ αὐτοῦ σκοπῶ : πότερον κρείττων γιγνομένη πόλις πόλεως ἄνευ δικαιοσύνης τὴν δύναμιν ταύτην ἕξει , ἀνάγκη αὐτῇ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης ;


C
εἰ μέν , ἔφη , ὡς σὺ ἄρτι ἔλεγες ἔχει—ἡ δικαιοσύνη σοφία—μετὰ δικαιοσύνης : εἰ δ᾽ ὡς ἐγὼ ἔλεγον , μετὰ ἀδικίας .
πάνυ ἄγαμαι , ἦν δ᾽ ἐγώ , Θρασύμαχε , ὅτι οὐκ ἐπινεύεις μόνον καὶ ἀνανεύεις , ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀποκρίνῃ πάνυ καλῶς .
σοὶ γάρ , ἔφη , χαρίζομαι .
εὖ γε σὺ ποιῶν : ἀλλὰ δὴ καὶ τόδε μοι χάρισαι καὶ λέγε : δοκεῖς ἂν πόλιν στρατόπεδον λῃστὰς κλέπτας ἄλλο τι ἔθνος , ὅσα κοινῇ ἐπί τι ἔρχεται ἀδίκως , πρᾶξαι ἄν τι δύνασθαι , εἰ ἀδικοῖεν ἀλλήλους ;
D
οὐ δῆτα , δ᾽ ὅς .
τί δ᾽ εἰ μὴ ἀδικοῖεν ; οὐ μᾶλλον ;
πάνυ γε .
στάσεις γάρ που , Θρασύμαχε , γε ἀδικία καὶ μίση καὶ μάχας ἐν ἀλλήλοις παρέχει , δὲ δικαιοσύνη ὁμόνοιαν καὶ φιλίαν : γάρ ;
ἔστω , δ᾽ ὅς , ἵνα σοι μὴ διαφέρωμαι .
ἀλλ᾽ εὖ γε σὺ ποιῶν , ἄριστε . τόδε δέ μοι λέγε : ἆρα εἰ τοῦτο ἔργον ἀδικίας , μῖσος ἐμποιεῖν ὅπου ἂν ἐνῇ , οὐ καὶ ἐν ἐλευθέροις τε καὶ δούλοις ἐγγιγνομένη μισεῖν ποιήσει ἀλλήλους καὶ στασιάζειν καὶ ἀδυνάτους εἶναι κοινῇ μετ᾽


E
ἀλλήλων πράττειν ;
πάνυ γε .
τί δὲ ἂν ἐν δυοῖν ἐγγένηται ; οὐ διοίσονται καὶ μισήσουσιν καὶ ἐχθροὶ ἔσονται ἀλλήλοις τε καὶ τοῖς δικαίοις ;

What is the nature of injustice as compared with justice ? For the statement made , I believe , was that injustice is a more potent and stronger thing than justice . But now , " I said , " if justice is wisdom and virtue , it will easily , I take it , be shown to be also a stronger thing than injustice , since injustice is ignorance—no one could now fail to recognize that—but what I want is not quite so simple1 as that . I wish , Thrasymachus , to consider it in some such fashion as this . A city , you would say , may be unjust and

b
try to enslave other cities unjustly , have them enslaved and hold many of them in subjection . " " Certainly , " he said ; " and this is what the best state will chiefly do , the state whose injustice is most complete . " " I understand , " I said , " that this was your view . But the point that I am considering is this , whether the city that thus shows itself superior to another will have this power without justice or whether she must of necessity combine it with justice . "

c
" If , 1 " he replied , " what you were just now saying holds good , that justice is wisdom , with justice ; if it is as I said , with injustice . " " Admirable , Thrasymachus , " I said ; " you not only nod assent and dissent , but give excellent answers . " " I am trying to please you , " he replied .
" Very kind of you . But please me in one thing more and tell me this : do you think that a city , 2 an army , or bandits , or thieves , or any other group that attempted any action in common , could accomplish anything if they wronged one another ? "

d
" Certainly not , " said he . " But if they didn ' t , wouldn ' t they be more likely to ? " " Assuredly . " " For factions , Thrasymachus , are the outcome of injustice , and hatreds and internecine conflicts , but justice brings oneness of mind and love . Is it not so ? " " So be it , " he replied , " not to differ from you . " " That is good of you , my friend ; but tell me this : if it is the business of injustice to engender hatred wherever it is found , will it not , when it springs up either among freemen or slaves , cause them to hate and be at strife with one another , and make them incapable

e
of effective action in common ? " " By all means . " " Suppose , then , it springs up between two , will they not be at outs with and hate each other and be enemies both to one another and to the just ?
