A Little Soul

KEY CHAIN FOR $2 I decided to walk a little on the Luiltan Street. It was nearly 12 am on a Friday night. The street of Luiltan was quite dark yet peaceful and secure. Earlier in that morning, my team and I just elaborated a business project with a Japanese motor company that will enhance the life of Luiltan 's citizen. The odds weren 't against us this time. A decision to accept the project was the best thing we have ever done. I could only imagine how the change was coming for the better in our beloved and presumptuous city. I left the office late, and the day was fruitful and busy, yet I needed to get along with myself. I needed a little soul searching, hitting the street…

existence of the soul by giving four arguments as to why the soul is eternal. He argues the argument from opposites, argument from the equal also known as the theory of recollection, the argument from affinity, and the argument from the “form of life.” These arguments were made hundreds and hundreds of years ago when they were hard to dispute. However, one can now see that Socrates’ arguments are flawed and he had little ground in which to argue for the soul’s eternity.…

madman. The first pit is the home of the gluttons, and the most famous glutton is Andres Moreno who has consumed the most food of any mortal and given little effort to resolve this problem other than resorting to medical processes in the hope to…

While this argument does show the argument in Meno to be circular in the case of the slave boy, and that Plato’s theory as it stands cannot surmount the claim of its circularity, it does not necessarily make the Doctrine false. It does, however, point out an important flaw in Plato’s argument, granting some doubt to whether the Doctrine is actually the case. Another argument against the Doctrine of Recollection is one that the Doctrine does not account for how the soul ever came to know the…

properties to describe a person. When one refers to these mental properties, he is referring to the soul. Because personal identity can be defined by physical characteristics or by the soul, it is questionable whether the same person who exists now is the same person who will exist in the future. Gretchen Weirob, in John Perry’s A Dialogue in Personal Identity and Immortality, claims…

The Host vs. A Long Way Gone I had the movie The Host and it was a fantastic and very detailed movie. The Host is about a young girl whose body gets taken over by a soul. A soul is an alien that has been placed into a human body so that they can survive. This movie is definitely a science fiction movie, aliens have basically taken over the human race and the seekers are trying to get the last of the humans to become one of them. The whole movie is full of the alien species invading the world.…

unchanging. Platos overall position was a combination of metaphysics (reality), epistemology (knowledge) and ethics (the good). The realm of corporeal possessions suggests the material objects in the sensible world around us are imperfect copies of these perfect Forms. According to Platonic form, we can only discover the Forms by using reason and they are the essential natures of a species or things. Ultimately, the Forms are absolute, perfect, eternal, and indivisible. Plato’s Doctrine of…

Animals Have Souls Do animals have souls? Do people have souls? There are many differing definitions for the soul, and how can you begin to answer any of these questions without a chosen definition? Clarence Darrow’s “The Myth Of the Soul” and my secondary sources will conclude that yes, animals do have souls, and in fact, to think that they do not is much harder to believe. Jesus and Buddha praised vegetarianism because of a humans connectedness to all life (Jones-Hunt). Before eating meat…

Everyone often has this idea of a soul mate being their one true love, the person they are supposed to be with forever. However, sometimes a soul mate can be multiple people. Like a puzzle, souls fit together to help create the bigger picture of life and humanity. Sometimes soul mates are people who enter another’s life for all different reasons; sometimes they are not romantic, but rather put into people’s lives in order to help them find themselves and become the people they need to be in…

In Plato’s dialogue Meno one of ideas that is discussed by Socrates is the idea of the immortality of the soul. Socrates outlines his belief that the soul is immortal and therefore possesses all knowledge available; so there is no such thing as learning but instead recollecting information. Even though the idea of the immortality of the soul was believed by one of the greatest philosophical minds that has ever lived, Socrates, there are some flaws with this concept. One flaw is that Socrates’…
