Name Course Instructor Day Month Year Justice through the Eyes of Plato and Hume The philosophic debate of justice goes back millennia with many points of view on what it actually is and why we have it. Both Plato and Hume had ideas on justice and both differed. Plato‚ in his Republic‚ searches for justice by building a city from the ground up in our imagination. He starts with merely five to ten people each with their own job and states that justice is the virtue of the soul. David Hume

Although Crito has many valid and argumentative reasons for Socrates to escape‚ he is steadfast in his beliefs and dies a martyr. Crito has three main arguments for Socrates to escape his imprisonment. Crito’s first argument is that if Socrates does not escape from prison he would loose a dear friend. There is also the fact that Crito’s reputation would be hurt for not helping his friend escape from jail. The second argument that Crito has is that he fears that Socrates does not want to escape because

A Review of Plato’s Meno Plato presents in his dialogue‚ titled Meno‚ the distinction between genuine knowledge and true opinion. In the text‚ he refers to knowledge as the form and definition of something that is changeless‚ where as true opinion can be altered and is not restricted in the way knowledge is by having standards of a form. Plato includes the characters of Socrates and Meno‚ a pupil of Gorgias‚ to discuss the nature of virtue and knowledge. The dialogue is provoked by Meno posing

In The Republic by Plato‚ it revolves around the unknown concept of justice and throughout the book‚ attempts to illustrate what is justice with the soul-state analogy. This analogy presents Plato’s definition on justice by method of debate through a conversation between individuals to eliminate inconclusive premises‚ known as the Socratic method. Therefore‚ by assessing components of this analogy: myth of metals‚ tripartite of the human soul and different city-character pairs‚ it allows one to understand

After reading about Socrates ideal republic‚ I no longer wonder why Socrates was executed. The way he thinks and the ideas he expresses can be somewhat outlandish. Socrates way of thinking is original and helped shape the intellectual traditions in the west. Unfortunately‚ I disagree with some of the logic he uses and the ideas he suggests. Overall‚ The way Plato writes this piece is very smart for two reasons. The first reason is that it is written as a conversation. At this time‚ verbal communication

In Plato’s Apology‚ Socrates states that‚ “The unexamined life is not worth living” (38a). I am using the knowledge learned through hours of class discussion of Socrates from the Euthyphro‚ Apology‚ and Crito to explain what Socrates means by “the examined life‚” and why he thinks that it is the only life worth living‚ and why he thinks that it can be lived only with others‚ in Athens. In doing so‚ I have found that the truth sought by Socrates is much more about the journey that one takes while

What factors in a difficult situation make a character favorable? Perhaps it is the one who is out for the greater good of the majority. Sticking to the right judgment is what many are all taught to do‚ but what if making the right and just judgement only brought rejection from the people. Out of the both leading noble men from An Enemy of the People and A Man for All Seasons‚ I believe that Dr. Thomas Stockmann is the greatest character because of his persistence and good intentions he carried.

As I was reading through the chapters of my art book‚ there were two pieces of art that caught my eye: the statue of "Nefertiti" and the statue "Aphrodite of Melos." After researching both artworks‚ I realized that these statues are similar and different in many aspects. Nefertiti is regarded as one of the most influential women of her time. Her and her husband Ahmenhotep IV‚ ruled between 1352-1348 BCE‚ during the New Kingdom. After there rule of Akhetaten (Ancient Egypt)
