    There is a funny thing about love. And that is the fact you never tell as to whom your mate will be.

    Danielle Butler October 16‚ 2011 English 101/ O.C #2-Machiavelli Though often presented as two ideological opposites‚ personally I find there to be a lot more similarities between Plato and Machiavelli than usually acknowledged. Obviously there are some sharp contrasts. If one examines the excerpts from Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Plato’s “The Republic”‚ it’s easy to conclude that Plato believed it to be essential for a government leader to be just‚ good‚ and free from corruption

    The Death of Socrates Viewing the painting “The Death of Socrates” by Jacques-Louis David‚ one can perceive many different subject matters‚ both literally and metaphorically. The obvious is seen within the setting of the painting. The clear illustration of where the event is happening provides the onlooker with a glimpse into a different time and era.

    At the beginning of Meno Socrates and Meno are discussing what they think the true definition of virtue is. They debate over this matter for quite some time and Meno continues to throw definitions‚ of what he thinks virtue is‚ at Socrates. It seems like every time Meno would come up with what he thought virtue was Socrates would shoot it down. Socrates would not come out and say this is not right‚ he would merely ask him a series of questions in order for Meno to realize it on his own. One after

    was like Socrates‚ he taught by asking questions. He didn’t teach in school‚ but he taught others around him. He believed that people were supposed to question and think for themselves. Socrates was the type of man that didn’t give you the answer to anything you had to figure it out on your own and give reasoning. I think Socrates had a huge impact on education because‚ it taught people to have their own way of thinking and not expect someone give you answers all the time. When Socrates came up
