Clitophon

Plato

Clitophon, who has frequented both Socrates and the sophist Thrasymachus, explains why he means to leave the former: Socrates is unsurpassed at exhorting to virtue, but never says what justice is or how to attain it. Socrates does not reply. Very brief and enigmatic, it leaves posed the question the Republic will try to answer.
