root causes of all things that happen are on account of God. Augustine declared, “Thus, You brought good for me out of those who did ill, and justly punished me for the ill I did myself. So You have ordained and so it is: that every disorder of the soul is its own punishment.” This statement is implying those who did me wrong will have to answer to Him, and He punishes me for my wrong doings. I have to answer to God when I have done wrong and He deals with each child of His consequently.…

The Republic and Leviathan share many common themes regarding the nature of justice. Plato, the author of The Republic, focuses on the immaterial aspects of the soul relating to justice. Thomas Hobbes, the author of Leviathan, assembled views that deal with the relationships between individuals, or social order.

Aristotle’s Theory of the Soul and the Best Life Aristotle’s explanation of the soul describes three distinct parts that combine to produce the soul. It is comprised of matter or potentiality, form or actuality, and a compound of both matter and form. The soul is a complex ratio of these three shares. The compound of both matter and form creates the living being, with the potentiality representing the body and the actuality portraying the soul. Compounds that possess the soul differ from those…

At the philosophical school of existentialism’s core lies an understanding of the consciousness that leads to a new outlook on life. The consciousness is understood to be different from anything material in this universe and existentialists view it as being “for-itself,” that is, able to be aware of its own self. Thus, with the unconscious part of the universe and the conscious part of the universe, the existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre created the unique categories of being, transcendence and…

Those who protect and defend the city…
