>>>>Throughout his philosophy, Socrates questions
the meaning of the word happiness and asks
whether it is somehow more intimately connected
to success or to moral virtue. And it's a
timeless question. And so think of it in terms
of politics today. Think of in terms of the
ideal state. Would you rather live in a state,
in a society that was wealthy or one that
was moral? What if the choice was between
a society that was prosperous, in which there
was enormous fun and pleasure and power, or
a society which was poor and powerless, but
upheld extremely moral values?
