Abstract

The aim of this paper is to account for the possibility of establishing a notion of guilt and reproach in relation to the subject who acts unjustly, through an analysis of responsibility and punishment in the moral sphere in Plato's Gorgias. In order to approach this treatment, we will delve into Socratic moral intellectualism, according to which human beings do not do what they want, but what they consider to be right. This way, it will address how the influence of the appetites and passions play a fundamental role in the mastery over oneself and, consequently, in the various courses of action that subjects may ascribe to. Finally, it will be established how education and knowledge play a substantial role in the constitution of a judgement of reproach towards the subject.
