Question

summary of the story of ring of gyse​

Answer 1

Answer:

Glaucon is using a thought experiment to challenge Socrates to find a compelling reason to be moral despite the total absence of punishment. In the story, the ring allows the wearer to be invisible. The person who wears it commits murder and theft among other things, but nobody knows who the perpetrator is.

The Ring of Gyges is, in a way, a more sophisticated iteration of Thrasymachus’ earlier pronouncement of justice as a relative good. Plato’s response to this query comprises the rest of the Republic.
