Plato's Republic argues for the astonishing claim that it is always better for me to be just than to be unjust - no matter what I stand to gain from injustice. This course will focus on understanding Plato's argument for this claim, which will lead us on a tour of his middle-period moral psychology, metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, and more. We will also use our engagement with a Republic as a springboard into Aristotle¿s work, by seeing how Aristotle¿s critique of the Republic informs his own metaphysical, ethical, and political thought.
