During the time period discussed in this chapter‚ two major forms of government were described. The first form of government is the idea of absolutism. In this state of government‚ kings amplified the claim that law was given by God and that they must respect and obey it. However‚ they did assert their rule like those who ruled under the idea of constitutionalism. Absolute rulers claimed that they were “chosen” by God and were responsible to him alone. They gained exclusive power to make and enforce

In the days of Ancient Greece all the way up until now‚ music was heavily influenced by the people who created it‚ while at the same time‚ those who created music were heavily influenced by the music and culture of their time. This paradoxical relationship is what Plato discusses in his books‚ The Republic and Timaeus. Claude V. Palisca‚ Former President of the American Musicological Society‚ claims that “Plato showed paths through which the harmony of the world could influence the moral character

“Daring Greatly” When Theodore Roosevelt used the phrase “daring greatly” in his speech‚ Citizenship in a Republic‚ he did not use it lightly.

Socrates way of thinking is original and helped shape the intellectual traditions in the west. Unfortunately‚ I disagree with some of the logic he uses and the ideas he suggests. Overall‚ The way Plato writes this piece is very smart for two reasons. The first reason is that it is written as a conversation. At this time‚ verbal communication
