    Just doing an essay on this, and trying to find the best way of explaining the consistency or lack of in Thrasymachus views in the first two books. Anyone any suggestions on how I should structure it???

    Trasymachus said "justice is the advantage of the stronger". After all our recent economic woes, nama etc., I am wondering if he was right in thinking that laws are there to protect the strong and rich minority against the weaker and poorer majority.
