Episode Synopsis

Project Plato takes center stage in this episode as we examine different definitions of justice from historical and philosophical perspectives. We explore Plato's idea of justice as a balance of reason, spirit, and desire, and contrast it with John Rawls' concept of justice as fairness minus self-interest. The episode highlights our progress in defining justice and introduces the next steps, including examining economic utility and insights from Orwell's 1984. Through this exploration, we aim to build a comprehensive model of justice that can guide societal organization and individual behavior. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
