Plato vs. Pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic has captured all the attention. Every sphere of society has been affected by it and the effect is mostly negative. However, the Pandemic hasn't been the only problem with this, supposedly worst ever, year. It feels like a war from multiple directions; a war with the potential of making the society more wise, courageous, moderate and just. This episode marks the beginning of a series of concept episodes where I dive into various nuances of philosophy and make it more interesting than just reading a book and analysing the philosophies within it. We explore the definitions of Justice given by Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, Glaucon, Adeimantus and Cephalus. They all intended to provide us with a ubiquitous definition of Justice. However, they ended up providing us with fragmented definitions of Justice: Cephalus gave us the definition of Financial Justice, Polemarchus gave us the definition of Interpersonal Justice, Thrasymachus gave us the definition of Political Justice, and Glaucon and Adeimantus gave us the definition of Social Justice. Let's explore the relevance of these definitions in a time when every political system is slipping into anarchy. Let us allow Plato to fight our war for us.  Music Credits: https://www.instagram.com/flace_music/ Artwork Credits: Medha Trivedi and https://www.instagram.com/mercuryprobe/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophyjunkie/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePhilJunkie Website: https://www.thephilosophyjunkie.com Support the show (https://patreon.com/thephilosophyjunkie)
