The ring of Gyges

    May 5, 2024

Alright, let’s all take off our rings and discuss what we’ve just read!
Let’s focus on the long speech by Glaucon:
According to Glaucon’s speech, what are the reasons people behave just and good in society?
If you knew you could get away with doing selfish and terrible things (while everyone would believe you’re a person of morals and integrity), what, if anything, would keep you from doing these things?

Can you imagine some positive (that is, just) ways such a ring could be used?
Any other thoughts about the ring and about human selfishness and altruism?
