Then on the day of her funeral two strange women were there‚ but they were gone before anyone could question who they were (Prison Escape from Alcatraz). Their family also received strange postcards occasionally (Prison Escape from Alcatraz). Some say that they found an unidentified body in the bay. This is proven wrong because if they found a body in the bay they most likely would have investigated it. Plus if they did find

While taking a first look at Socrates’ mind and work‚ we see a fundamental core of his theories is the concept of Absolute Purity. Socrates speculates on the theory of Pure and True knowledge; specifically‚ the Eidos of an idea regardless of time or people. In his quest to eradicate the world of mystery‚ he creates a systematic way‚ an algorithm of sort‚ to reflect the purity of justice in all of our acts through endless contradictions. What is the source of Socrates commitment to purity? Why does

or not Socrates is truly breaking the law by practicing philosophy is questionable. In the city of Athens it is said that Socrates has corrupted the youth by teaching his incorrect version of philosophy and creating new gods. It is for this reason that he is being wrongly accused and put on trial. Socrates positions in the Apology and the Crito‚ in regards to following the law‚ appear to be contradictory to each other but in fact they are consistent in most ways. In the Apology‚ Socrates states that

Socrates was irritated by the Sophists in his Era‚ and their leaning to teach logic as a means of achieving self-centered ends. An unexamined life to not examine or question one’s life is to risk misunderstanding one’s self in relation to the world‚ to remain oblivious to one’s thoughts‚ emotions‚ behaviors‚ and thus‚ to be a passive receiver of experience‚ instead of an active interpreter of experience

The extant sources agree that Socrates was profoundly ugly. Socrates let his hair grow long‚ Spartan-style (even while Athens and Sparta were at war)‚ and went about barefoot and unwashed‚ carrying a stick and looking arrogant. What seemed strange about Socrates is that he neither labored to earn a living‚ nor participated voluntarily in affairs of state. Rather‚ he embraced poverty and‚ although youths of the city kept company with him and imitated him‚ Socrates adamantly insisted he was not a

This reading is so confusing‚ I read it three times and still have some confusion about the Socrates statements. Basically‚ it is a conversation or arguments between Socrates and Euthyphro. Socrates is in the court because a man whose name is Meletus prosecuted him about corrupting the youth. Therefore‚ Euthyphro is in the court to prosecute his father for the murder of the servant. It is not proven that his father is killer but Euthyphro is trying to get justice on behalf of the servant. Euthyphro

Socrates is the philosopher that created the dialectic method‚ which is figuring out what the main thing of knowledge is. Not only that but the honesty‚ righteousness‚ and the attribute of a good character; another form of discovery. The dialectic method was intended to figure out what is knowledge‚ why it is so important‚ and the accurate definition of it. Knowledge is known for being a strong belief‚ if that’s the case then a cat should typically know that it is a cat. Knowledge is actually a true
