Platonic ethics
According to Plato, it is unethical for the right man harm in any case, and this consideration obtained by the dialectical technique about the affirmation cited by Polemarchus in a dialogue with Socrates that justice would be to return to each his due, and thus lead well to friends and damage to enemies, but after analyzing the issue leads to the observation that men become more unjust if mistreated, so also in this case it would be better to act benevolently. Continuing the dialogue bursts impetuously Thrasymachus as a starved wolf saying (practically to payment) that the right would not be more than the interest of the stronger, but Socrates points out that the strongest can also make mistakes then they at least tried to exercise the right his art can not cause the own just of the art, for example the doctor usually aims to heal the sick and do not to get rich that is part of the mercenary art.
