Philosophy Book II of the Republic

Paper details:
At the outset of Book II of the Republic, we find a classification of goods into three categories (each thing we value, presumably,can be placed into one of the three categories). Glaucon, who wantsto believe Socrates when he sayswhich category justice belongs in, issues a challenge to Socrates because he (Glaucon) is not convinced that Thrasymachus’ view of justice from Book I has been thoroughly disproven by the end of that initial book. So, Glaucon tries to put the view that Thrasymachus was advancing(the view he calls ‘the popular view’because he thinks most people accept this view) in the strongest possible terms. He does this by telling the story of the Ring ofGyges. First, cite a passage from the text (and indicate where in the text you obtained it) that expresses the main point about justice illustrated by the story of the Ring of Gyges. [This question doesNOTask you to cite a passage that tells us what happens in the story, but rather, what philosophical point about how justiceshould be valued and which the story is intended to convey.] Second, explain how this story supportsthe popular view of justice and opposesthe Socratic position on justice. (For this second question, you need to make clear in your essay into which category the popular view puts justice, and into which category Socrates places justice.)Finally, what would you do if youhad the ring? Does your answer support Glaucon’s challenge to Socrates, or does it support Socrates’s view?
