- sradman 6y agoIt doesn't have to be about just deserts, it can be about ethics. This argument is the main thrust of Plato's dialogue Crito [1]: > In Crito, Socrates believes injustice may not be answered with injustice, personifies the Laws of Athens to prove this, and refuses Crito's offer to finance his escape from prison. The dialogue contains an ancient statement of the social contract theory of government. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crito https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crito
