Question

Long before H. G. Wells wrote The Invisible Man, Plato (428–348 BC), in The Republic,
described a shepherd named Gyges who, according to a Greek legend, discovers a ring that
enables him to become invisible when he turns its bezel. Gyges uses his magical powers to
seduce the queen, kill the king, and take over an empire. If we have similar powers, why should
we feel bound by moral constraints? In particular, if professionals are sufficiently powerful to
pursue their desires without being caught for malfeasance, why should they care about the good
of the wider public?

In your answer, reflect on the question "Why be moral?" Is the question asking for self-
interested reasons for being moral, and if so, does it already presuppose that only self-interest,

not morality, provides valid reasons for conduct?
