Socrates determines through much discussion that the nature of justice in the individual is associated with a balance of the natural state of harmony in the individual.

Justice in individuals is analogous to the justice of a society as justice is achieved only when those more capable and educated to lead are leading as an aspect of their most suitable practice, when those elements are in place in a society then the society is just and Socrates would say that the individuals within it are also just.
