Socrates on the Value of Justice. This guide explains Socrates'' argument that justice has value on its own and should be sought. He states that the things we value are often false and we must be rational in our choices or the short-term pleasures will deprive us of our true value. Human beings have many different motivations in life and they have many different reasons for caring about things and wanting them to be part of their existence. There are certain virtues that men have always valued, but Glaucon and Socrates seem to disagree on the value of the virtues and why people give them credence and why they care about them. Socrates believes that the virtue of justice is valuable all on its own and that it should be an integral part of the person while Glaucon believes that justice is one of the things that people place value in because of what it brings.
