What is the relationship between socrates and glaucon? are they equal in intellectual authority? are they concerned with the same issues? ?

1. Glaucon, like his young brother Plato, was in the inner circle of the young affluent students of Socrates, which means that they had primarily teacher-student relationship. There is not much information about Glaucon and his relationships, but it’s know that he was a major conversant with Socrates in his work “The Republic” and “Allegory of the Cave”.

2. Socrates and Glaucon are not equal in intellectual authorities. Socrates is considered to be one of the most influential of Greek philosophers, and Glaucon is rarely known to the world, and even though he was his student, he never surpassed him. On the other side, Glaucon’s younger brother Plato may be considered as Socrates equal.

3. Yes, they were concerned with the same issues, but were on the opposite sides. This was best represented in Socrates work “The Republic” in which they discuss the definition of justice. Glaucon explains that justice is a social contract that emerges between people who are roughly equal in power, which Socrates refutes.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
