Virtues of Ultima

I thought both Glaucon and Adeimantus had made very strong and serious objections against Socrates about the view of justice being an intrinsic good, but I would argue that their arguments could only apply to certain people and personalities.

When discussing Kant theory on moral rules we find that he has no exception to the rule of lying. This does not change for any human depending on their social status.

One of Andrei’s identifying traits is his belief in Stoicism, a Greek school of philosophy that taught that virtue is based on knowledge, and that the wise ignore and remain indifferent to suffering and the vicissitudes of fortune.
