Socrates:Â Can Harm Come to a Good Person?
               The
Greek Philosopher Socrates claimed that no harm or evil can come to a good
person. He argued this stance first of
all by defining the characteristics of a good person. He believed in five basic traits of virtue
that a person must exemplify in order to be good:Â justice, courage, temperance, piety, and
wisdom. Of these five, all are centered
on wisdom;Â that
is, each trait must be understood somehow through wisdom (ECP 506).Â
