The Cross-Examined Life: Socrates Debates the Laws
What if the Laws of Athens, as personified in the dialogue, were subject to change over time, like our social contracts? Would they deserve such treatment that one would prefer death over harming them?<p>As I see it, this view of purity and absolute objectivity in law doesn&#x27;t conform to our world, at least in its current state.<p>Edit: To add, the possible change in the Laws is also governed or driven by entities who are neither objective nor just: powerful individuals, corporations, parties, lobbies, etc.
