Plato’s Republic vs The Gospel: Justice and the Good Life | Socrates Meets Jesus
What is justice? Is it power, balance, or something deeper?
In this video, we explore Book I of Plato’s Republic, where Socrates challenges popular definitions of justice—and compare his philosophical journey with the biblical vision of righteousness found in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
From Thrasymachus’ “might makes right” to Socrates’ aporia, and from Plato’s philosopher-king to Jesus, the King of kings, we trace how ancient philosophy reaches upward while the Gospel reveals heaven reaching down.
