    Philosophy Professor Ravi Sharma In 80D Meno asks: “How will you look for it‚ Socrates‚ when you do not know at all what it is? How will you aim to search for something you do not know at all? If you should meet with it‚ how will you know that this is the thing that you did not know?” I believe this question warrants an in-depth inquiry of general sorts. Meno asked this question when he could not define a standard of virtue like Socrates had asked. That is why it’s easier to think of this question as just

    Confucius and Socrates both have a very definite perspective of an person and how he/she should live their life. However these perspectives do differ in specific areas and that is what brings me to compare and contrast on both philosophers. "He acts before he speaks‚ and afterwards speaks according to his actions" (Confucius 2-13). Confucius says that we shouldn’t speak about what we don’t know‚ just as Socrates is known for saying "I am wise because I know nothing." Both of them seem to imply

    One could argue that Socrates examined life‚ and yet what does that mean? From my understanding of the Apology‚ Socrates did not just live the life of the ordinary Greek he questioned life. What did he mean by “the unexamined life is not worth living?” I believe he meant that we must question everything around us. That the answer “things have always been this way” wasn’t a good enough answer. If we look at Sparta‚ they lived their lives as dictated by the government. There was no “I” in Sparta‚ Sparta

    According to Socrates‚ an unjust person is an unhappy person. Why do you believe Socrates made this analogy? How does one become a balanced individual? Furthermore‚ Plato also has an opinion of what a well-balanced person is. Show how Plato’s understanding of a well-balanced person is necessary to a society in harmony with itself‚ and how that ties in with Socrates’ preceding analogy. Socrates believed a unjust person could not be happy that only the just person could be happy. The unjust person

    Socrates‚ the father of philosophy‚ and teacher: Is he corrupt? Did this man‚ who still teaches students thousands of years after his life ended‚ earn capital punishment? Was it fair to receive such severe punishment for teaching the youth to ask questions? Was an innocent person murdered? Despite it being the unpopular answer to the question‚ Socrates did deserve his penalty‚ but only through the perspective of the Athenians. The reasons are simple: Socrates really seemed to have committed the crime

    Man was born free‚ and every where he is in chains. To Socrates‚ the unexamined life is not free. In the society he knew‚ justice was overall important‚ and to him it was as well. The problem was that his beliefs conflicted with the conduct of law in his community‚ so he would have replied to this quote by saying that a person needs explore themselves or else they just build bars around their lives. In order to explore ones life‚ questions need to be asked and beliefs need to be challenged‚ but the

    Socrates undermines the claim that he is intentionally corrupting the youth by asking Meletus a series of questions that make him explain his reasoning for accusing Socrates of this crime. Socrates would start by placing Meletus into a hole with his many questions asking who exactly was good for the youth and it turned out to be everyone but Socrates. He continues this argument by bringing up why would he corrupt the youth when they could potentially be his neighbors one day. It is common sense that
