Peculiar definition of injustice. A man may do great voluntary hurt to others, and yet not be unjust, provided he does it under the influence of Reason, and not of Appetite 368 Plato's purpose in the Laws is to prevent or remedy not only injustice but misconduct 369 Varieties of homicide--modes of dealing with them penally 370 Homicide involuntary--Homicide under provocation _ib._ Homicide voluntary 371 Homicide between kinsmen 372 Homicide justifiable--in what cases _ib._ Infliction of wounds _ib._ Infliction of blows 373 Plato has borrowed much from Attic procedure, especially in regard to Homicide--Peculiar view of Homicide at Athens, as to procedure 374 Impiety or outrage offered to divine things or places 375 All impiety arises from one or other of three heresies. 1. No belief in the Gods. 2. Belief that the Gods interfere very little. 3. Belief that they may be appeased by prayer and sacrifice 376 Punishment for these three heretical beliefs, with or without overt act _ib._ Heretic, whose conduct has been virtuous and faultless, to be imprisoned for five years, perhaps more _ib._ Heretic with bad conduct--punishment to be inflicted 377 No private worship or religious rites allowed. Every citizen must worship at the public temples _ib._ Uncertain and mischievous action of the religious sentiment upon individuals, if not controuled by public authority 378 Intolerant spirit of Plato's legislation respecting uniformity of belief 379 The persons denounced by Plato as heretics, and punished as such, would have included a majority of the Grecian world 381 Proëm or prefatory discourse of Plato, for these severe laws against heretics 383 The third variety of heresy is declared to be the worst--the belief in Gods persuadable by prayer and sacrifice 384 Heretics censured by Plato--Sokrates censured before the Athenian Dikasts 385 Kosmological and Kosmogonical theory announced in Leges 386 Soul--older, more powerful in the universe than Body. Different souls are at work in the universe--the good soul and the bad soul _ib._ Plato's argument is unsatisfactory and inconsistent 388 Reverence of Plato for uniform circular rotation 389 Argument of Plato to confute the second class of heretics _ib._ Contrary doctrine of Plato in Republic 390 Argument of Plato to refute the third class of heretics 391 General belief in Greece about the efficacy of prayer and sacrifice to appease the Gods 392 Incongruities of Plato's own doctrine 393 Both Herodotus and Sokrates dissented from Plato's doctrine 394 Great opposition which Plato's doctrine would have encountered in Greece 395 Local infallibility was claimed as a rule in each community, though rarely enforced with severity: Plato both claims it more emphatically, and enforces it more rigorously 396
