Book 1 of Plato's Republic is often treated as a merely negative
prelude to the theory of justice presented in the main body of that
book. This study argues that, though an introduction to later
ideas, Book 1 has its own positive theme and function: to press for
the acceptance of a certain perspective on justice that is opposed
to conventional interpretations of it. This perspective requires
that justice be seen as 'internal' to the power human beings have
to render things (including themselves and their societies) good.
The analysis of Plato's dramatic characterisation, as well as the
discussion of Socrates' arguments, is guided by the thought that
they form aspects of a complex overall strategy through which Plato
hopes to overcome the resistance of his contemporaries to the
'Socratic' perspective on justice.
