question

According to Socrates, it is important that we discover what makes a particular action (e.g., a merciful or just act) the kind of action that it is, because without such knowledge:

choices

  1. no one in society will ever do any action that really is merciful or just, only those actions that they think are merciful or just.
  2. the primary purpose of human existence--which is to think and to know--is replaced by a focus on morality (acting and doing).
  3. we can refer only to how people characterize actions without knowing why such actions should be characterized that way.
  4. there would be no way to distinguish one kind of action (e.g., a merciful action) from another kind of action (e.g., a just action).
