    • 1098 Words
    • 5 Pages

    to the Good Life By Devin Fink Ethics Business and Public Administration Professor Michael Beltz October 9th‚ 2012 The “good life” is a phrase that is used to describe the ideal life for one to live. According to Aristotle‚ the good life should be free of any greed‚ full of virtue‚ pleasure‚ and friendships‚ as well as excellence in whatever you may do. I would agree with all of the things he believed in. Many people in America would argue that the good life

    McGrath February 11‚ 2013 Euthyphro – Plato The Euthyphro is a tale of Socrates and Euthyphro. They meet by chance and end up discussing what is holy and what is piety. Socrates tries to get answers from Euthyphro but because of his unwillingness to learn‚ they end back at the beginning of their discussion. In Euthyphro‚ we see the three distinct definitions of piety and holiness that is given by Euthyphro and how Socrates refutes them. This paper will give those definitions and my own argument

    According to Aristotle the good life is the happy life‚ as happiness is an end in itself. He also believes that all actions aim at the good and that the good is happiness. I believe ‘some’ of Aristotle’s views on the good life are correct but I believe sometimes we can sacrifice our own happiness for someone else’s happiness and the people that don’t have the power to reason do have souls and they are still as human as everybody else. In order to make my point I will first have to explain Aristotle’s

    Cost of the Good Life

    extravagant lifestyle‚ and wealth all come to mind when I ponder the good life but what does the good life actually cost? At first glance‚ this seems like a loaded question that requires multiple dissertations in order to answer. I even contemplated whether or not the good life had a cost at all. Breaking the good life into separate topics relieves much of the stress when it comes to giving an answer. In terms of consumerism‚ the good life is damaging to the environment‚ places too much emphasis on money

    Opinions on Socrates

    • 679 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When analyzing Socrates as a person‚ I think it is apparent that there is much more to his personality than appears on the surface. Many people assume that his aims are pure‚ that he questions those around him solely in the pursuit of knowledge. I think that if his conversations are considered as a whole‚ strong arrogance shows through. Socrates often flatters the person he is questioning in order to initiate the debate and he continues to do this as the conversation progresses in order to

    Chapter 11. Interest Groups Interest group activities inundate American politics – you can find them lobbying at the local‚ state‚ and federal level‚ and you can find them working feverously within each of the branches of government. All this lobbying activity poses an interesting paradox – although turnout in elections has declined since 1960‚ participation in interest groups has mushroomed. This chapter focuses on three major themes – factors leading to the growth in interest groups‚ how

    Doorley’s essay has changed the way that I look at life. Before I viewed the choices that we made‚ simply as choices. Now I realize that there is so much more behind every choice‚ and often the choices that we make are already made for us. Frequently we make our choices on the premise of what others have done before us‚ rather than doing what we want and‚ or need to do. Doorley’s essay also scares me‚ because it leads me to believe that no decision I’ve ever made was truly authentic due to all the

    Socrates Notions

    • 792 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In order to discuss Socrates notions‚ I would like to discuss two various points which consist of the significance and difference between an unexamined life and an examined life. As stated by Socrates‚ collectively‚ our unexamined lives create the ills of society. In other words‚ when one does things right‚ he would usually think that he reached the perfection; he would barely assume that his life is irreproachable and there is no need to correct or change the way it is. And this thought would make
