If someone get the knowledge on "good",he will do it correctly.Knowledge is virtue.But the problem is that "what the natural right is".

Eros is a verb,which means "to love"or"or"to lust"!And then why does someone have Eros?Becaus human is lack of something.what is human lack of? immortality !!!Everybody will die!human is mortal!The word"Mortal"has double meanings:first means "human ",second means"Liable or subject to death"
i think ,this is the secret of Eros!
If someone know the secret of Eros,and then he will get "what is good or right".

M Moravi Horati Piscine wrote:Potation I think may be correct in that in Socratic thought knowledge is equated with virtue.
M Moravi Horati Piscine wrote: But virtue is not a matter of good and evil. Plotinus offers that our conception of relative good and evil changes as we gain knowledge and move on to a higher understanding of the virtues.
The question of "objective good" I find interesting. Do you mean a good for a community, for the planet, or for the universe? And then with Platonism, is there an absolute good that individuals should strive after?
