    The most blatant use of sight‚ light‚ and darkness is the meeting of the oracle and Oedipus. While Oedipus could see the world‚ the oracle could see the truth‚ and the contrapositive is also true. When he gains sight of the truth‚ he takes his sight of the world. Without voiding my essay topic‚ Oedipus seemed like a nice enough guy until something happened that he did not like. An old man had a bit of road rage? The obvious response is to go on a murderous rampage. His character as a whole is a comparison

    The Republic of Plato Before I started reading Plato’s the Republic‚ I was loathe to admit that reading those philosophy books were gonna really change how I view myself. It was totally a waste of time to read these vague and complicated books. As I went on reading the republic‚ I saw many similar things that still existed in our society. 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

    “The irreverent‚ disobedient Socrates of the Apology is inconsistent with the Socrates of the Crito.” Construct an argument supporting or refuting this claim. Be sure to incorporate textual evidence. In Plato’s Apology‚ Socrates comes off as a defiant and disobedient man with little respect for his accusers and even for the jurors on whom his fate depends. This may seem in stark contrast with the stoic Socrates in Crito who would rather accept the death sentence than let his friend Crito help

    Machiavelli says the prince only has to seem good‚ not be good. Plato insists that seeming is bad‚ being is good. Nicolo Machiavelli is known as being an realist who accepted that fact that humans are brutal‚ selfish‚ and fickle while Plato was an idealist who believed people could be ruled by a philosopher king who  ruled over the warriors and tradesmen of his ideal republic with rationality. In his view the philosopher-king was in charge of making the state a "utopia" in that everyone had his/her

    Sophocles’’ Oedipus the King because Oedipus seeks the truth and suffers greatly when it is found. Plato’s four stages of awareness are necessary for the final form of the good‚ which is the truth‚ to be found. In both the Allegory of the Cave and Oedipus the King‚ these four stages of awareness; Imagination‚ Belief‚ Reason‚ and Understanding‚ take a vital role in explaining Oedipus’ suffering. To begin with‚ Plato would argue that Oedipus’ imagination shadows him from the real truth. Oedipus has not

    In Socrates’ apology‚ he defends himself against all three accusations that have been put in front of him in the court of law; as he stands there accused‚ attempting to convince the jury of his innocence‚ Socrates uses his more than capable abilities to explain‚ step by step‚ that his is not guilty of any of these charges. In my opinion‚ Socrates accurately explains to the jury that he is not only innocent of these charges but a victim of his accuser for even bringing him into court. One of Socrates’
