The Seventh Impression of Socrates

The book does actually, it sort of has these two epigraphs affixed to it. One from second Samuel and another from first Kings chapter 2. Strauss notes that the second Samuel passages are the only dialogue that we have between a prophet and a ruler. He talks about this Socrates' conversation with prettiest by Nathan so that Nathan is able to chastise the ruler. In both cases, in both cases, it seems to be about taking property. That seems to be what's going on. The insinuation, I think, is that justice is about the distribution of goods.
