Philosopher?

Which philosopher said that “moral individuals will put their own ethical principles above the requirements of the law and above the social norms?”

Brielle Mather Said:

Maybe Plato or Socrates
Joel Henderson Said:

No, it wouldn’t have been Plato. (And Socrates actually never wrote anything, the only record we have of him and his thought comes from Plato’s dialogues, and a couple of descriptions from Xenophon.)

Sounds more like Nietzsche or, going out on a limb, maybe Albert Camus. The focus on the individual’s principles is definitely from the modern period.
