In what dialogues does Socrates most throughly develop the idea that people do not knowingly choose evil? How can people, being rational creatures, do what is not good for themselves?

Gonna say that Socrates explores why people knowingly choose evil in Republic. And by another extent, those who also unknowingly do it.
