Plato and Aristotle Dialogue As I was at Plato’s Academy‚ I overhear an argument between Plato and Aristotle. The two were in an intensive argument over the theory of forms and the theory of knowledge.

The Cave The allegory of the cave is a story of open mindedness and power of possibility made by Plato.

Directly behind them is a light

In the Meno he uses the Socratic Method to introduce the theory of recollection—solving Meno’s paradox and proving the existence of humans’ immortal soul—and defines knowledge as justified true belief.

The Doctrine of God What I learned about the Doctrine of God is God’s existence‚ first of all. God existence is definitely taken for granted in the Bible. The writers of the Old and New Testament knew God existed so they thought it pointless to put it in there. Jacobi said‚ “A God capable of proof is no God at all.” So if God had to prove He existed‚ then that would take all of the power out of God Being God. So‚ in the Bible God existing is an understood matter. The arguments for the existence
