The Good list 2006
What does it mean to be good? Two thousand years ago Plato asked the question in one of the earliest pieces of philosophy still available to humankind. In it he depicts the father of Western thought, Socrates, meeting a young man named Euthyphro, who is on his way to court to prosecute his own father.So how are we to be good?
Every age answers that question with significant differences. But Socrates' method of discernment holds good. He suggests that conclusions are best arrived at through scrutinising the behaviour of individuals.
