| This article concentrates on the view of justice and its methodology in Plato’s Republic.In the first two chapters, we analysis two different kinds of reading of Plato’s Republic, Willams as the analytic philosopher and Voegelin as the classical political philosopher, providing for us two examples about the research of Plato’s view of justice and its methodology. We start with the analytic of the methodology, to clarify the justification of Plato’s methodology, then turning to the definition of Plato’s justice.In the third chapter, we research for Plato’s insight of justice in his "The seventh letter", we explain for the relationship between the justice and the idea of "Good". In the end of this article, we propose a metaphorical definition of justice, and we think that this new definition of justice may be really corresponded for plato’s view of justice. |
