What do Plato‚ Descartes‚ and Hobbes contribute to the question "how do we know what is true‚ and what is false?" In the allegory of the cave‚ Plato views the sunlight as the truth‚ and the shadows in the cave as being false‚ and his contribution to the question "how can we tell what is true‚ and what is false" is that we have no way of knowing what is true‚ and what is false‚ until we have experienced them both‚ and can compare the two. I think that Plato is trying to say that society

philosophers it’s a tossup between being born with it while others think that knowledge is gained as one grows up. In simple terms‚ is knowledge nature or nurture? Are you already born to be joining IMSA or are you brought up with a great education? Plato believes that knowledge is innate‚ meaning that it’s already in you from the beginning‚ also known as a priori knowledge. But other philosophers claim that knowledge is gained through experience. While Plato’s theory does make some sense‚ I believe

O.C #2-Machiavelli Though often presented as two ideological opposites‚ personally I find there to be a lot more similarities between Plato and Machiavelli than usually acknowledged. Obviously there are some sharp contrasts. If one examines the excerpts from Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Plato’s “The Republic”‚ it’s easy to conclude that Plato believed it to be essential for a government leader to be just‚ good‚ and free from corruption. Whereas Machiavelli’s ideal ruler is less concerned

justice within an individual and society as a whole‚ and attempts to pinpoint the meaning of the term. He classifies wisdom‚ courage‚ and moderation as the leading qualities a just person should possess. Using a multitude of hypothetical scenarios‚ Plato compares what should be just at a political level to the justness of one’s inner psyche. He provides many scenarios to support his statements‚ however his argument comes across as completely one-sided and biased. Plato’s ideal of a “perfect” society

these two great men differ immensely and the foundation for these differences can be found in their distinctive views regarding human nature. Once this is assessed the picture that each man paints of their ideal ruler or founder becomes much clearer. Plato promotes the concept of philosopher-kings who rule over his imagined Utopian society‚ while Machiavelli endorses a ruthless and at times amoral prince whose primary objective is the preservation of the state. Plato’s view of human nature can

undoubtedly informed Plato’s ideas‚ but by the time Plato brings up the notion of a philosopher-king it’s thirty years after Socrates’ death and what the character Socrates says in the Republic is probably much more Plato than Socrates. This is also two hundred years after Confucius‚ so it may even be that the two are not quite so isolated from each other as they may seem. A couple interesting differences between the two become readily apparent. Plato thought that a true philosopher actually wouldn’t

A basketball could be taken for example here where you can take the roundness of the object being the basketball in this case and separate the roundness from all of the other properties the basketball has like the weight and the color‚ focusing only of the roundness would be the form of
