> Plato, through his mouthpiece Socrates, frequently explores the nature of such things as Justice. Socrates, the wisest man in all of Athens (according to the god Apollo, anyhow, and 'e don't lie), does not know what justice is.
>As such, I find it hard to believe that anyone nowadays truly knows what justice is (though if anyone *can* prove me wrong, I shall stand corrected).

What if the only thing Socrates ever said that was right was that he didn't believe the Delphic oracle knew what it was talking about? Then he'd trully be as ignorant as Plato's character said.
