The Psychology of Greek Ethics

Beginning as far back as the he is obviously no longer thinking, as were the others (J.r)5dv dyav of the Delphic inscription and Theognis, quoted above, of something mathematical. This variable, 401, this quantitative aspect of their ethical thinking had faith, coming into the reckoning, would be, as Paul says already begun. The conception was, not of a catalogue elsewhere (I Cor. 1, 23), "unto the Greek foolishness." of sins to be avoided invariably on the one hand, and a They would rather have said, "The just shall live by categorical imperative of mandatory virtues on the other; mathematics." So in the intellectual realm, mathematics but of the right amount of every form of action. Horace constitutes the eponymous knowledge, if we regard the carried this Greek view-point so far as to say (Epist. 1, 6, etymology of the word; and Plato (e. g., in Laws 817E- 15 f.) : "Let the wise man bear the name of insane, the 818A) assigns that study in its highest form to the in­ just of unjust, if he should seek virtue itself beyond the tellectually and morally elite. We recall the famous in­ point of sufficiency." scription said to be on Plato's door, "Let no one ignorant of geometry enter." It is interesting and significant that, in both Biblical and classical expression, justice is generalized as standing In the Euthyphro (7BC) Socrates asks the other for all righteousness or virtue. In the Septuagint we find about what it is that, when men differ, they develop en­ the requirements of measures and weights true and "just mity.

Is it then came not to call the just, but sinners" (Mk. 2, 17); and about size, the large and the small? No, they resort to in Matt. 5, 45 "wicked" and "good" are paralleled by measurement. About the heavier and the lighter? No, "unjust" and "just." More than once in Plato, as in they resort to weighing.

Homer has a dramatic low." With this, in the Gorgtas (508A), 'geometric scene (II. 8, 68-74) in which Zeus holds his golden scales equality' is explicitly contrasted. Similarly Aristotle and the lots of the doomed Achaean warriors on the one (Ethics V, 2, p. 1129 a 34), "The just, on the one hand, pan sink down to death as being the heavier. A lost of course is the lawful and equal, and the unjust, the un­ Greek play was called "The Soul-weighing." lawful and unequal." Succinctly Theognis had said (147), The high value which the Greeks assigned to truth "In justice is all virtue summarized." and beauty is a commonplace. One might, remembering To say that SlKCCiov had originally the restricted, that all people, though their criteria of truth and beauty clearly defined meaning of "equitable," which was later may vary, honor these concepts, question whether the expanded to include all virtue, would be inaccurate. It special credit ascribed to the Greeks in this connection is would probably be nearer the truth historically to say really merited. But I am impressed anew that to them it meant originally "right" and was more and more the paramount prestige of these ideals was so much more brought to a focus as "just."
