1) According to Augustine‚ what motivates good masters to rule over their families and slaves? How does this contrast to Aristotle’s conception of masters. 1. Aristotle argues that masters rule over their slave in tyranny due to their belief that some individuals are born as slaves‚ and are inherently slaves by nature. For these slaves‚ their identity as slaves is dependent upon their very nature‚ rather than their social position or location (page 1991‚ line 33‚ and page 1990 line 5). Aristotle

Plato and Aristotle Name: Course instructor: Plato and Aristotle Just like Plato makes it clear especially in his apology of Socrates saying that he was among the devoted young followers‚ he must have told Aristotle about how he loved pizza but Aristotle must have argued out that he knew the pizza guy but he knew not about the extra large mutton and olive pie regardless of how hungry they were.

Government‚ he identifies a government that is of the peoples consent with his essential raison d΄être being the preservation and protection of personal property. This type of government is extremely comparable with the type of government that St. Augustine describes in his work City of God‚ while at the same time contrasts the views of Aquinas in the ways a state should operate. The end goal of how each of these philosophers’ states purposes presents the greatest split between each of their philosophies

Aquinas vs. Augustine on their varying views of women. St Thomas Aquinas and St Augustine of Hippo are considered to be two of the greatest Christian theologians in the history of Christianity.

god-like ‘prime mover’ that set everything into motion. Surprisingly similar‚ Plato uses reflection and reason to deductively determine that there is a ‘natural creator’ who “…created…everything…in its essential nature” (Plato 316). While they mostly agree on ultimate reality‚ each philosopher’s view is different on the Forms. Although they might have been able to agree on an outside force influencing the universe‚ Plato and Aristotle’s separate way of thinking triggered Aristotle to reject Plato’s

Statement • Three philosophers‚ St. Augustine‚ Pseudo-Dionysius‚ and St. Thomas Aquinas‚ delivered important assistances to aesthetic theory during the middle Ages. These three philosophers engaged the two main methods to philosophy in the middle Ages. Augustine established thoughts about rhythm that are related to his aesthetic theory‚ particularly the confidence that rhythm initiates with God. This indication of rhythm is explained in Augustine’s De Musica. For Augustine‚ rhythm is indisputable and everlasting
