Plato on Civil Disobedience - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 23 Civil disobedience/Platon/Höffe: Thesis in Crito: One must never commit injustice oneself for the sake of a (supposedly) higher right. A maxim like "the end justifies the means" is rejected without compromise: injustice must never be rewarded with injustice. Socrates-Platon thus rejects a right of resistance, the permission to (civil) disobedience. Neither the children nor life or anything else may be respected higher than the right.(1) 1.
