Ideals And Obligations In Plato's Ethics, Julius M.E. Moravcsik
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
This paper has two main claims: First, it will argue that most of what is usually interpreted as Plato's ethics is concerned primarily with the establishing a Substantive Theory of the Good. Secondly, it will be shown that Plato's link between his STG and matters of obligation is a very close one, and cannot be analyzed along either utilitarian or Kantian lines.
