Platonic justice as a concept of psychological and social well-being
The Platonic, namely Plato's notion of justice as it is expressed in The Republic, can be described and interpreted as a kind of paradigm for the good life of the individual, describing the requirements for the psychological well-being of a person and also comprising at least the general guidelines for participating in the social life. Having a 'well-ordered' (or 'just') soul enables the human being to function as a healthy, responsible and productive individual ; not only on the individual level, but also as a member of society. Also, this Platonic concept of justice, if considered in its relation to the three key similes that describe the Form of the Good (the allegories of the Divided line, the Sun and the Cave), ignores neither the 'biological' needs of the human being nor the learning process that the human individual should pass through in order to understand its own place and purpose in the society and in the world as a whole.
