    Machiavelli differs from the many political theorists who offer conceptions of a “natural state‚” a presocial condition arising solely from human instinct and character. But while Machiavelli never puts forth a vision of what society would be like without civil government‚ he nonetheless presents a coherent‚ although not particularly comprehensive‚ vision of human nature. Machiavelli mentions explicitly a number of traits innate among humans. People are generally self-interested‚ although their

    It is my opinion that the view of justice that is provided by Socrates is in fact the proper explanation of what it is to be just. It is not enough to appear just to people around you‚ you must be just. Even if you appear to be the most just and loved person in the world that means nothing if you cannot be at peace within your soul which means having a balance between the three parts. For if someone has an opportunity to steal something such as a computer‚ although they may be better off materially

The foundation of democracy is based on majority rule‚ however because the majority is unaware of what truly is good for them‚ by virtue of their ignorance‚ the masses are not capable of electing a leader fit to run the state or government. Socrates contends that due to mass ignorance‚ the majority will

    Socrates as an Exemplar of Love It may seem at first that Plato wrote Symposium merely to praise Love through a sequence of speeches made by the selected male speakers attending the drinking party. After Socrates makes his speech on the truth of love however‚ it becomes more apparent that Symposium is also a tribute to Socrates and his way of life. Although this is shown gradually and indirectly‚ Plato eventually makes clear his respect and admiration for Socrates’ way of life. The structure of

    According to Socrates‚ an unjust person is an unhappy person. Why do you believe Socrates made this analogy? How does one become a balanced individual? Furthermore‚ Plato also has an opinion of what a well-balanced person is. Show how Plato’s understanding of a well-balanced person is necessary to a society in harmony with itself‚ and how that ties in with Socrates’ preceding analogy. Socrates believed a unjust person could not be happy that only the just person could be happy. The unjust person

    One could argue that Socrates examined life‚ and yet what does that mean? From my understanding of the Apology‚ Socrates did not just live the life of the ordinary Greek he questioned life. What did he mean by “the unexamined life is not worth living?” I believe he meant that we must question everything around us. That the answer “things have always been this way” wasn’t a good enough answer. If we look at Sparta‚ they lived their lives as dictated by the government. There was no “I” in Sparta‚ Sparta
