    In order to discuss Socrates notions‚ I would like to discuss two various points which consist of the significance and difference between an unexamined life and an examined life. As stated by Socrates‚ collectively‚ our unexamined lives create the ills of society. In other words‚ when one does things right‚ he would usually think that he reached the perfection; he would barely assume that his life is irreproachable and there is no need to correct or change the way it is. And this thought would make

    The Stoics and Socrates The question of the reality of the soul and its distinction from the body is among the most important problems of philosophy‚ for with it is bound up the doctrine of a future life. The soul may be defined as the ultimate internal principle by which we think‚ feel‚ and will‚ and by which our bodies are animated. The term "mind" usually denotes this principle as the subject of our conscious states‚ while "soul" denotes the source of our vegetative activities as well. If

    • 2 Pages

    "I trust what I say is right‚" is only one of the wise remarks that Socrates makes. He is a very confident man‚ but he expresses his confidence in an ironic way by his intricate sentences and clever remarks. His trial is interesting because he hits key points: why he is being accused‚ why he should be acquitted and finally why he feels it is acceptable that he is convicted. He contradicts himself frequently because at one point he flaunts his wisdom and great intellectual qualities and then he changes

    Simmias objected to Socrates stating that the soul would vanish as the body dies. He brings up the argument of the soul’s existence by using an instrumental example. There is a lyre and a harmony‚ which represents a body and a soul. The lyre and the body are both visible while the harmony and the soul are invisible. He brings up a different perspective than Socrates: “... the soul is a kind of harmony‚ then clearly when our body’s tuning is disturbed … The soul… must instantly vanish‚ like the
