of the guardians seem to be an important point Plato makes‚ but Plato only indicates the guardians education. What about the other citizens of the city? Although Plato’s analogy of the city-state is widely known and praised‚ his ideal city is definitely not an ideal city for humans to live in. Plato’s city-state is said to have the rulers’ families held in common‚ meaning that they are to share their wives and kids with others.

Plato: Knowledge‚ and Immortality of the Soul Reading this selection was a bit confusing since Socrates is the one who is talking and not Plato himself‚ I quickly realize that Plato was a pupil of Socrates so it would only make sense to explain your beliefs through the words of the very person who instilled this truth within you. To start off‚ I would like to bring up “The Divided Line”. The diagram shown first divides‚ to my understanding‚ the world as it is from the world as we perceive it. It

In the "Apology" by Plato‚ the character of Socrates is one of a man in his seventies who believes that his calling is to “discourse about virtue‚ and of those other things about which you hear [him] examining [himself] and others...” Plato describes Socrates living a philosophical or examined life which overall implies the concept of human excellence.

Polazzo Injustice in our Society and in Ourselves What is justice is a question that has plagued philosophers since the time of Plato when he wrote The Republic to present day.

Working Mothers All mothers are working mothers‚ but those who have a career away from home have an extra challenge in their life.

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.
