When are we justified in breaking the law? In the case of Socrates I believe him breaking the law was justifiable‚ although I don’t believe what he did was really breaking the law especially today in modern government. Today we are free with our speech‚ press and free to do what we want within limitations of laws. According to Mill “The only freedom which deserves the name‚ is that of pursuing our own good in our own way‚ so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs‚ or impede

In the societies of Socrates‚ Hobbes’s Leviathan‚ and Machiavelli’s Prince‚ individuals were naïve. Individuals believed in a power to rule them‚ rather than standing up and thinking for themselves. While Machiavelli and Hobbes believed in instilling fear into their citizens‚ Socrates believed in equality and justice. Socrates would disagree with Machiavelli and Hobbes’ societies because they were run by the same government that Socrates was fighting against. In Machiavelli’s Prince‚ the Prince

Christian‚ but a selfish woman. The story is based on a family car trip on which they meet an escaped criminal and his gang while trying to fulfill the grandmothers wish by trying to find the way to a house from her childhood. This results in the familys death at the end of the story.

The use of distinctively visual features has had a positive effect on my understanding of the novel Maestro by Peter Goldsworthy’s and the painting ‘starry starry night’ by Vincent van Gogh. This has been done through distinctively visual features such as descriptive and emotive language in Maestro and the use of colour‚ shading‚ lighting and placement in ‘starry starry night’.In saying this

In Book V of The Republic‚ Socrates argues that the rational part of the soul can be distinguished from the appetitive part. Before writing on the portions of the soul‚ Socrates begins to discuss how the soul is constituted. Socrates divides the soul into three separate parts – the appetitive‚ the spirit‚ and the rational. Each part of the soul has its own distinct role which it must perform. The idea of different parts of the soul (for the purposes of this paper‚ the appetitive and rational) differing

By definition‚ material monism is the philosophical belief that proclaims that the physical world is filled with all matter derived from one single element. Material monism is Pre-Socratic‚ which means that it originated prior to the teachings of Socrates. This belief system was developed by three famous Milesian philosophers‚ who are commonly known as Thales‚ Anaximander‚ and Anaximenes. As stated in the text‚ “Three philosophers from the city of Miletus in Ionia‚ Thales‚ Anaximander‚ and Anaximenes

According to Socrates‚ good is defined as an absence of bad‚ just as bad is an absence of good. Plato doesn’t directly come out and say what The Form of the Good is‚ but through his examples and implications‚ we find out that it brings all other forms into existence. He compares it to the role of the sun in the playing out of the sun and earth. Some people described The Form of the Good as God‚ but Plato doesn’t actually imply that anywhere. The four main virtues: wisdom‚ courage‚ moderation‚ and

or not Socrates is truly breaking the law by practicing philosophy is questionable. In the city of Athens it is said that Socrates has corrupted the youth by teaching his incorrect version of philosophy and creating new gods. It is for this reason that he is being wrongly accused and put on trial.

In the Apology‚ Socrates states that
