432746 Purpose: In this paper‚ I will evaluate Socrates’ argument from Phaedo for why philosophers should desire death‚ perhaps only secondly to wisdom. I will argue that Socrates unfairly characterizes the truthfulness of the senses‚ and therefore projects a pessimistic view of the philosopher’s virtue during life. This pessimism towards life in conjunction with arguments for an afterlife that liberates reason‚ seems to suggest that Socrates believes philosophers should desire death: a happy prospect

So when I saw Call Me By My Name on the shelf at the library‚ I thought it would be entertaining‚ as well as relevant. After reading the inside sleeve‚ I was excited to learn more about the “Legend... larger than the sleepy Louisiana town where it was born.” However‚ I found myself halfway through the

For me heroes really exist in reality. And for me my super hero is my mother. My mother actually is an ordinary woman. But for me she can do extra ordinary things. She is always there in times that I feel very hopeless‚ that’s why I really love her. She brought me up with a strong faith and a power to face the toughest challenges in life. She is willing to help everyone’s problems or misery without anything in return. That’s why I’m so very proud of her. For me she’s the best mother in the whole

In Socrates’ defense‚ he has stated that he does not have any kind of competence and expertise in any of these areas. This statement truly divides Socrates from sophists and even Presocratics‚ as
