This assignment is due in Module 6.
You will need to participate in Discussion 8 before working on this assignment.
For this assignment, the discussion board component will help you get started with this topic and help you to formulate some ideas for further development (should you wish to consider the ideas developed by you in the Discussion Board exercise as a starting point for your own essay.)
You may also reference the ideas of others (with credit) in your essay (if you wish to respond to or elaborate on a line of reasoning from a thread) as part of your argument, but do NOT use someone elses ideas as your main thesis.
The Essay:
Please write a thesis-driven essay (500-750 words) discussing the following:

How does Plato reconcile free will and determinism in the myth of Er (Section 614a-621d in the Plato, Republic (Links to an external site.)- book 10)?
How is it related to his definition of justice in the Republic?
Is this understanding consistent with the definition of justice that Socrates obeys and describes in the Crito?
How does this worldview compare with your definition of justice?

Remember to use textual evidence to support your argument when necessary.
This assignment is worth 200 points toward your final grade. See more information in Module 6 of the online classroom. The assignment is graded using the Essay Rubric in the online classroom.
