      says Thrasymachus at 338a giving his ‘fine answer’ to the question of what justice is. As an answer to that question, however, it is far from perspicuous and Socrates duly professes himself unable to evaluate it. To clarify what it is supposed to mean, Thrasymachus appeals to the behaviour of the rulers of states: 4 Reeve, p. 86

      Thrasymachus agrees with Socrates’ proposition that the unjust person “will strive to get the most he can for himself and from everyone” (349c). This is the elevation of self-interest above all else, and is certainly the oppo-site of the “justice” described earlier. Perhaps the strongest evidence that

      In the Republic though, Thrasymachus, the cynical sophist, blushes when Socrates unmasks his arguments as cynical and sophistic. This detail is curious and striking. As Allan Bloom has noted, “The apparently shameless Thrasymachus, willing to say anything, is revealed in all his vanity, for he blushes” (Bloom, 1968: 336).
