philosophical man who lived his life asking prying question in order to guide others to the truth. This manner along with his knowledge and other traits led him to be put on trial for failing to recognize the gods represented by the state‚ creating new gods‚ and corrupting Athens’ youth. Soon after the trail‚ Plato wrote an account of the speech that Socrates used to defend himself‚ titled The Apology.

Throughout the 1990’s there was a lot of good and bad times. Starting with the good things‚ I will begin my paper with 5 of the up-most important events in this period of time and then conclude with 4 of the down sides. Early in the 90’s was Desert Storm‚ which was a huge success. The 1991 bombing of Baghdad was a demonstration of smart‚ powerful weapons‚ planning ahead and military superiority.

Philosophy Homework 1A.) “Explain Plato’s analogy of the cave” Plato’s analogy is intended to explain the fight or struggle for true knowledge about the world and to see a different view on how we see the world. The analogy tells the story of three prisoners who are chained with their backs to the entrance of the cave‚ so they are unable to move or see anything behind them. Behind them is a fire and many people move through the cave all day and they are carrying things‚ so the shadows are projected

Socrates describes a perfect city in Plato’s The Republic. Many questions are asked in the book‚ such as “What is an ideal city?” Or‚ “What is justice?” And‚ “Is justice in the city possible?” Socrates tries to find the real meaning of the word justice.

Main household Appliances: The appliances found in houses between 20-50 years ago were a primitive version of what we have today.

In the book‚ Plato prescribes severe dictates concerning the cultural life of the city. He rules out all poverty‚ with the exception of hymns to the gods and
