(covers the second half of book 1 of Plato's Republic) In this episode, Socrates goes up against his most formidable opponent yet: the sophist Thrasymachus. Thrasymachus leaps at Socrates “like a wild beast” and yells at him for playing dirty. Then, he tells the boys that morality is a lie and that they should do as much injustice as they can get away with. Socrates responds by winning the argument in the least persuasive way possible. Pod Art: Marijke BouchierTheme music: David Zikotivz, Clayton Tapp Ancient lyre music: Michael Levy Editing, episode art and social: SepidehThrasymachus: Paul Sagarhttps://twitter.com/goodintheorypodhttps://www.instagram.com/goodintheorypod/https://www.facebook.com/goodintheorypodSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=35146517&fan_landing=true)
