Plato imagined that there existed an ideal or perfect world beyond our own physical earth. Our earthly world is full of unevenness‚ imperfections‚ and impurities which have been copied from the true ideal world which is beyond us. Plato further believed that our physical world and its Forms participate or imitate the real Forms in a disorderly way. He claimed that there was a relationship between the realm of Forms and our world. This relationship revealed to us mortals the forms and brought order

according to Plato‚ Rousseau and Benjamin The relation between art and society is very complex and might be seen from the various perspectives. The main concern‚ however‚ has always been the one of the function of arts within the society – that is to say‚ what people need the arts for. Of course‚ this theme was challenged by many philosophers of different ages‚ who tried to criticize or to praise arts as something that‚ consequently‚ corrupts our minds or sets them free and brings pleasure. Plato has written

we change how we see the world and how we learn. How we were taught has a great impact on every aspect of our lives‚ from choosing what we will do with our futures to how we treat one another. The three philosophers that I respect and admire are Plato‚ John Dewey and Paulo Freire. A combination of these philosopher’s ideas and ideals are what will create a healthy‚ productive‚ and unique classroom that provides guidance for the ever changing dynamics in a classroom.

In terms of justice‚ Plato uses political communities and the individual of one’s self and family as to what he thinks justice is. In the Republic Plato states that “ no two people are born exactly alike”. Plato was right about this quote‚ but he uses this quote in general to get to the bottom of what it means to be just or unjust in life for the individual and even the state. Socrates through his conversation with Adeimantus gives information about what Plato thinks justice is‚ he uses political

with Plato that having your emotions stirred on behalf of a character in a story undermines your ability to control your own emotions? Why or why not? Initially I did not agree with Plato when he states that having your emotions stirred on behalf of a character undermines your ability to control your own emotions‚ after reading and analyzing his reasons for making this assertion I now agree. Plato believes that it is “best to bear misfortune as quietly as possible without resentment (Plato 369)”

In a world where men seek power at any and all costs‚ it is important to stop and consider what truly makes one powerful. In Gorgias‚ translated by James H. Nichols Jr.‚ Gorgias and Polus are trapped in an argument with Socrates about the power that rhetors possess. However‚ through the use of allegories to justice and suffering‚ Socrates asserts that it is not power that these such men possess‚ but

Plato’s Republic and More’s Utopia How would you define happiness? Would you say happiness is always a good thing? Or would you say the complete opposite and say it’s a bad thing. At that moment you might even ask yourself‚ could it even be bad? Whether or not you believe happiness is good or bad you know one thing for certain‚ and that is‚ happiness is defined by what you define it to be regardless of anyone else.
