In this point, I am standing on the side…

What does it mean when you hear the term “restorith my soul” used? I guess before we can answer that question, we should ask several other questions first. When you or lost, what would the number one issue of importance be to you? In the worldly sense we can easily become disoriented.

We also become confused about how to properly live…

In Phaedo, Socrates friends refused to wholly accept Socrates' ideas on the theory of souls, and Simmias in particular puts forward his “theory of attunement”. Simmias claims that “we really do suppose the soul to be something of this kind,” that is, a harmony or proper mixture of bodily elements like the hot and cold or dry and moist. Simmias considers that during our lifetime, we must constantly strive to achieve some sort of certainty, and that this certainty might only be achieved by…

just as important as the things that are in the sacred sphere. He says, “Entertainment, sex, journalism, politics, scholarship, and business are all part of the ‘very good’ of creation.” Moreover, God created these “secular” things just as much as He created “sacred” things. In knowing this, Goheen argues that individuals are called to serve God in all parts of life, not just the sacred, because everything belongs to…

In Plato’s The Republic Justice is a prominent and reoccurring theme. There were many questions asked about Justice, its definition, what it consisted of and whether it was a worthwhile investment to be a just person or an unjust person. Plato and his interlocutor’s breakdown and attempt to define justice in the setting of a polis created in thought. The main premise behind this was to observe justice at work so that it could be properly defined. There were two cities that were proposed and…

According to Maimonides, a "physician of the soul" is when therapy and ethics meet to prescribe "a temporary ethic to enable the patient to acquire moral virtue" (299). These "wise men," who are "physicians of the soul" are there to balance the extreme character traits of the soul that are sick. When a person shows bad actions they must be cured by the soul doctor "to acquire moral virtue" (298). It is like when goes to a "physician of the body" with an infection, the doctor must prescribe…

First, they believed that heaven meant the sky and secondly, they believed “the other heaven was a realm of God and blessed angels who lived beyond the cosmos, beyond the fixed stars (Kelly, 55)”. Heaven was a place with no struggle. They believed that all the struggle was on Earth and that it was the goal…

greater significance than the Forms of the other virtues (505a). He dismisses the two most common definitions – that the good itself is either pleasure or knowledge – as inadequate (505b-c). The Good, whatever it might be, is something which “every soul pursues” and fails to comprehend, resulting in an obscuration of the other lesser Forms (505e).
