Abstract

[Plato prefaces here the final conclusion of the dialogue, namely the correlation of aretēAretē with a knowledge of kalon kagathon. At this point, as well as at the end of the dialogue, kalokagathia is linked to the state in which the individual has knowledge of what is good (what benefitsBeneficial, benefit him) and what is evil (what harms him). This state comes from phronēsis, which occurs as a result of the philosophical procedure that leads to the common benefitBeneficial, benefit. The concepts of knowledge and phronēsis are thus in the last analysis inextricably linked. Plato manages to show the gradual retreat of the aristocratic approach of dikaion before the prevalence of the most just speech.]
