Sócrates is going on trial in a few days

Why is the idea of Perfect Justice presumptive?

Platonism is objectively the most corrosive and counter-productive idea ever intoduced to human race

It's just a shitty joke that panders perfectly to the goodreads crowd. Don't take it at face value.

>>9242869
Because the reviewer, like most pseudo-intellectuals and raging mediocrities, hold something similar to a naive anti-realism and/or relativism, so the idea of an objective ideal form of Justice is wildly suspicious to them.

>>9242869
does it incorporate the idea that every case is different? because if not, that's how you get cutting people's hands off for stealing bread.

>>9242847
He's right, though...

Hmmm....

Platonism is singlehandedly the most useful idea in art.

>>9242869
Because Socrates was talking with sophists, which pretended to have things such as perfect justice completely figured out in neat, ordered systems.
Every modern man would find those systems nonsense and side with Socrates on these debates.

No one said Perfect Justice exists in any court of law, simply that the idea is real and that theoretically it can exist. There is in theory a perfect way to dish out justice

That implies all injustices are neat and clear-cut. That's simply false. I understand wanting that, but people are messy. Perfect justice is like communism: sounds good on paper, but falls apart the second you introduce the human variable.

Western civilization absolutely BTFO......Damn....Dead white males can't recover from this.....Donald Trump just got stumped....Oprah 2020....

imbecile
