How socrates account of virtue is connected

Reference no: EM133299823

Question: Explain how A) Socrates's account of virtue is connected with his defense of hedonism by way of explaining why one never intentionally does what one believes to be bad (be sure to cite textual evidence from at least three dialogues)

B) Cite and explicate the argument from the dialogues that we have read that puts the most pressure on hedonism as a satisfactory account of the good (there may be more than one good answer to this part of the question).

C) Citing the text, what is Socrates's response to this argument (or if it is not clear, supply one citing text for why we might infer that this would be his argument) and explain why it is, or is not, satisfactory.
