 His first conclusion is that nothing matters other than whether their actions would be just or unjust, right or wrong. (“Justice” and “injustice” (dike and adikia) in this context cover all other-regarding ethical matters, and may be translated “right” and “wrong.”) Socrates then goes on to argue that they would do wrong if they followed Crito’s plan. His argument uses his old method of accepting the reasoning (logos) that seems best to him as he reasons about it (46b). The bedrock principle has guided his life so far, and it would be absurd to give it up now merely because his circumstances have changed (46b, 49ab).
