Abstract

At the end of Republic Book 1, Socrates leads Thrasymachus to the conclusion that unrighteousness is never more profitable than righteousness, by showing that the righteous are happy and the unrighteous miserable. This argument, although the cornerstone of Socratic ethics, has seemed laughable to many interpreters. I defend the argument.
