As I was reading several individual quotes stuck out to me, mainly because I'm still processing the overall concepts. One quote from Glaucon states, "For the extreme of injustice is to seem to be just when one is not." I may not agree with Glaucon's whole argument, but I do agree with this statement. In arguments both sides have valid statements that should be acknowledged, if both sides don't have a case to argue there would never be one. Socrates acknowledges this I believe, as he listens to the other side and sometimes validates certain phrases they say into his own argument. Socrates ability to listen, understand, and evaluate another person's ideas helps him develop a deeper understanding of his own.
P.S. I commented on Abbey Griffin's.
