The happy philosopher--a counterexample to Plato's proof
Journal of the History of Philosophy 10 (4):383-398 (1972)
Abstract
The author argues that Plato’s “proof” that happiness follows justice has a fatal flaw – because the philosopher king in Plato’s Republic is itself a counter example.My notes
