Journal Article
SOCRATES AS A DEONTOLOGIST
2017
Overview
[...]there is no strict characterization of teleology or consequentialism that all modem interpreters adhere to.II There is one Socratic dialogue of Plato's that shows Socrates making a selfconscious moral deliberation about his own future action under trying circumstances: the Crito.Because of its narrow focus on one situation, this dialogue provides the best place to observe Socratic moral theory in action.[...]it is not the work of justice to harm people, even enemies who are bad.13 This argument could focus on the issue of introducing more bad than good into the world.[...]I suggest we reject psychological egoism for a view I shall call psychological agathism, namely, that people act to bring about the good simpliciter.
