    To say that a man is defined by what he does in his life is an understatement when you think of two of the greatest philosophers ever. Each man was very respected while they were living but when you have hundreds or thousands of people still talking about you after your death there is something very special to say about that. Socrates and Rene Descartes spent their life looking for the truth. They looked for the perfect answer to every question because both of them wanted the answers no one could

    In the trial of Socrates‚ I juror number 307‚ Ryan Callahan vote the defendant is Not Guilty on the first charge of Corrupting the youth. My justifications for this vote are as follows. Socrates didn ’t corrupt the youth‚ he just shared his ideas with them and they in turn chose the path to take these ideas. Part of understanding this case is understand the time in which the case was held. This time being 399 B.C.‚ a time in which Athens was a free democratic city‚ a town which prided itself

    1) When Socrates argues that it is better to be wronged than to do wrong‚ better even to die than to do wrong‚ he is saying that he rather be killed than be harmed. In the Apology‚ this quote raises the most basic question; what is he saying? Meletus‚ who is the prosecutor at the trial‚ is accusing Socrates of “corrupting the youth” and “refusing to recognize the gods” in the state. Meletus is harming himself‚ (meaning he is harming his own character)‚ not Socrates by executing unjustly. Socrates’s

Aquilles‚ similar to Socrates followed the Oracle of Delphi prophecies‚ which not only determined his fames but his death too. Thus‚ Plato use of Palamedes in the Apology clarifies‚ then‚ Plato’s desire to seek for knowledge and immortality after his death and being closer to others such as Palamedes and Ajax rather that with others who lack knowledge. So Socrates doesn’t’ fear death

    The Greatness of Socrates Socrates was born in Athens‚ Greece 322-399 before the Christian era and was politically indoctrinated under the cultural influences of Athena‚ Goddess of wisdom‚ skills‚ and warfare. (Loomis p. 5) He is well known for his philosophy of the “good life” in which he believes involves the pursuit of intellect as well as morals. His theory in this is to not focus so much on choosing what is always necessarily right in a situation‚ but to be the kind of individual who refrains

    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

    Socrates on Democracy Socrates makes it very clear; he is not a fan of Democracy. He is openly objected to the type of democracy that Athens was running during his adult life. In contrast he was against all forms of government at the time. Socrates believes in the connection between virtue and knowledge. The masses‚ being uneducated‚ were therefore not virtuous and not fit to rule. Democracy is the rule of people‚ and as a group people are very indecisive so we end up trying to have everything
