- Abstract
This article examines the debate about justice in Plato’s Politeia in the light of Thrasymachus’ “realist” argument. A more detailed look into Thrasymachus, considered as one of the first representatives of political realism, would allow for a more holistic understanding of the debate of justice in Politeia. Plato’s conception of justice is usually known as the order or harmony in a whole emerging from different elements fulfilling their own roles. However, reducing what Politeia tries to say about justice merely to the definitions of justice advanced in Books I and IV would be incomplete. The challenge of Thrasymachus shows that what is at stake in this work of Plato is more than a mere concern for defining justice.
