Says socrates has only appeared to win: thracymachus gave up before he had to, as if he were a snake you had charmed. 3 kinds of good: good in itself, good for its consequences, burdensome, but good for us. What is justice is considered to be and where it comes from. Those who practice justice do so unwillingly as a necessity, but not a good. Life of the unjust person is better than the just person. What justice is and where it comes from-glaucon. Justice is an agreement among the weak neither to harm nor be harmed by each other. The best is to do injustice but not suffer from it. The worst is to suffer injustice without possibility of revenge, Justice is in the middle of these extremes.
