What is justice? What does it mean to be just and unjust? Does the just man fare better is life than the unjust? In the later part of the first 40 pages, Thrasymachus seems to suggest that what we would consider unjust, that what is best for the stronger is what's morally right, is actually just in the sense that it is right (sounds retarded, I might be misremembering)

"Adeimantus and Glaucon Restate the Case for Injustice"
Thrasymachus' withdrawal is not accepted by Glaucon, he asks Socrates if he wants their common conviction that "right action in all circumstances is better than wrong" to be genuinely true or simply merely apparent, as his analogy-ridden, presumptuous discourse would thus far indicate.
Socrates places justice in a "highest category of goods"
