Plato and Aristotle Dialogue Essay
Below is a free essay on "Plato and Aristotle Dialogue" from Anti Essays, your source for free research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
-Plato and Aristotle Dialogue-

Plato: You should think on the differences between a simple candle light to that of the most powerful source of light that we know of.
Aristotle: Do you mean the sun?
P: The sun is a super power of this world that we as simple humans may never fully understand. The sun is the goodness that is brought to us every single day and goes away with the darkness of night or in this simple case the evils of this world.
A: Why is the sun like the goodness of our world?
P: Well my dear friend would you rather be in dark dungeon or a nice sunny field of wild flowers?
A: A nice sunny field of wild flowers, but what does that have to do with the fact of the sun being the goodness of life?
P: Ah, now that is a true question that one day we hope to find the answer to, but let’s think of this you chose a nice sunny field of wild flower over the dark dungeon. So with that you in fact have already confirmed my suspicion that sun is a good thing and not a bad thing.
A: Yes, but how do we know that the sun was not created by something that was not good. I mean even if what you say is true about the sun, then why is it that after being exposed to its power for an extended amount of time that it makes humans skin turn red and blister.
P: Well, maybe the one above is trying to create an equal balance of good and evil to start a balance of a neutral effect.
A: So you are saying that too much of a good thing can in fact, be a bad thing.
P: Well, yes that is what I am saying.
A: So in fact the sun might very well be a neutral player in the world of good and bad for the simple fact that to little is a bad thing and too much is also a bad thing, but just the right amount could very well be one of the best feeling in the world as we know it.
P: I believe that

    Humans have always had a fascination with the sun, and have acknowledged its importance as vital to their survival. Although the role of the sun was not well known at the time, various early groups developed a culture with solar motifs because of its ability to bestow light and its prominence in the sky. As they began to question how the sun operates, many groups, such as Egyptians and those in Messo-America, deemed the sun to be an omniscient god that overlooked both the upper and lower worlds.…

    Muslim immigration to America has been occurring for decades, and is not a new thing. However, throughout history the U.S. government has had trouble creating a sensible Muslim immigration policy. Currently, president Trump—a man with bold and controversial policies--has enforced a temporary ban on Muslims until the American government can create a valid immigration policy. American people are in turmoil while deciding whether or not they should allow the U.S. government to put restrictions on Muslim Immigration. Some Americans are concerned that Muslim immigration will jeopardize America's security, while others feel it is America's duty to be compassionate and welcome immigrants.…

    Plato believed in two worlds, the material world and the world of the Forms. The Forms differ from material objects because they are perfect and pure; while material objects are a complex mixture of imperfect properties of the Forms. According to Plato the Form of the Good is the highest reality of all. As well as being individual forms, things like truth, beauty, justice and equality also reflect the Form of Goodness. ‘Goodness’ is a quality that all the individual Forms possess. The Form of the Good links all the other Forms together.…

    One sunny morning in Cleveland, Ohio, a homeless man receives a gift of new shoes from an honorable stranger. Yet at the same time, a young man robs a bank, and an innocent woman is shot at random. Humanity has positive aspects, such as people doing righteous acts towards other human beings, but also sadly has negative aspects such as violence for little to no reason. The world seems to withhold more negative events rather than positive all throughout history. Therefore, mankind is inherently evil, but also has the capability to overcome through positivity.…

    Gun control advocates do have a moral obligation to reveal their true intentions regarding the ultimate consequences and potentially obscure implications of the policies that they espouse. By attempting to prohibit firearms incrementally, yet failing to inform the public of their true intentions, these organizations deceive and manipulate individuals who only support moderate gun controls into unknowingly advancing a cause (prohibition of guns) that they may not necessarily stand for (Kleck, 2001). Moderate gun control supporters are thusly being used as pons by organizations who help them achieve their more moderate goals, only to then move on to more extreme controls that moderate gun control supporters may not have originally supported. To omit information or true intent for the purpose of fulfilling a political goal, however well-intentioned, is deceitful and immoral, especially when the strategy relies on the support of misled individuals supporting more than originally bargained for.…

    The very next day I made my way towards the Chobhar hill where lots of people come for a walk and to witness the majestic sunrise. The serenity of this morning was addictive. I found myself actually enjoying this moment. Suddenly, a little girl who was playing around the pine tree lost her balance and fell on the ground. I quickly rushed to her rescue. I asked her was she okay and she just smiled. “Thank you so much Sir!!! She is a naughty child.” came a voice from behind me. He was the little girl’s father. Like his daughter I just smiled at him. He too smiled back. In the next few minutes I noticed how glad they both were. The sun came up above the horizons. It was splendid. I felt the rays were illuminating every bit of my soul. I can't lie, I was happy and this time I had already got all my…
