conveys one of the most fundamental theories unfolding the after life. During this conversation Socrates exposes his believe of the immortality of the soul‚ arguing that he indeed is eager to die‚ claiming that death just represents the separation of soul and body. According to him‚ philosophers prepare throughout their lives for this‚ given that by the soul alone‚ reason‚ and wisdom flourish. By presenting different ideas like the argument of opposites‚ the theories of recollection and forms‚ and the

Furthermore in Reincarnation Hinduism specifies exactly what the soul is‚ they call it atman and it is part of the divine spirit Brahman and lives in human and animal bodies and eventually it will be reunited with Brahman when perfection of the soul is achieved. Only in the human body can the soul be perfected and the deeds of the human will be weighed upon death and the karma will be judged which will determine the next body for that soul to live. As the Bhagvad Gita states about Karma ““Those who perform

As human beings we are always trying to differentiate right and wrong. We are constantly searching for what is the right thing to do so that we can make sure our actions are just. We do the right thing so we can satisfy our craving for justice. But there are times where justice cannot be obtained by doing the “right” thing because obtaining justice will always require some sort of action be done even if that action is wrong. Shakespeare’ Julius Caesar shows that before justice can take place there

Critical Lens Essay “Nothing can cure the soul but the senses‚ just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul” says Lord Henry‚ in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. This quote essentially describes that one’s mind can only be purified through one’s awareness of one’s surroundings and actions.

are mind and body. Plato believed that only the soul‚ or the mind‚ can deal with true knowledge and the rest of the human body was meant for just senses. I think Plato would have disagreed with Charles Darwin and his quote because Plato believed in the mind-body dualism‚ not just the body. Plato believed in the dualism of the two parts. He also believed that only the soul‚ which is not the body‚ can know true knowledge. Animals do not have souls or minds they just have bodies‚ which is only used

The question of whether virtue can be taught may be answered through philosophical means‚ much like those illustrated by Socrates in Plato: Meno. Because virtue‚ in our minds‚ is something that benefits the soul‚ and knowledge is that which leads its beholder toward positive outcomes‚ we can draw the conclusion that virtue is knowledge. If virtue can in fact be classified as knowledge‚ and all knowledge can be taught‚ then we must conclude that virtue can in turn be taught. However‚ in saying

In this paper‚ I will investigate how Plato’s epistemology revolves around the following tenets: how the souls of humans and never-changing Forms make knowledge possible. In the Meno he uses the Socratic Method to introduce the theory of recollection—solving Meno’s paradox and proving the existence of humans’ immortal soul—and defines knowledge as justified true belief.
