De La Soul

The following paper will be discussing Plato's perspective on the philosopher-kings and what makes them the best rulers. I will use examples from the text Plato, Republic to describe Plato's ideal city which will demonstrate Plato's true definition of justice and why no city can be just unless it is ruled by a philosopher-king. Through explaining Plato's ideal city this will aid in concluding why Plato believes philosopher-kings are the best fit to rule in order to truly have a just society. In…

For this essay I will explain Plato’s Arguments about the immortality of the soul and why I disagree with his theories. “Argument from Simplicity” is one of Plato’s arguments I will attempt to counter.

I do not agree, however, with how Plato debates for the immortality of the soul. In Phaedo, Plato argues for the soul’s immortality and attempts to…

objects.” In this case, Taylor is correct, the majority of his essay goes on to address the differences between the “body and soul”, and as well as how the soul is logically flawed. The core of Taylor’s argument is on how the concept of the soul itself is far too ambiguous for it to be a worthwhile point to contemplate. This is because “there are no positive properties of any ‘soul’”. Taylor states that the best we can do is that an extra something is required to set apart a body from a…

satchel and pulled out the soul. It was reckoning time and I released the soul in the well for its eternal sentencing to either Heaven or Hell. The soul stood still for a moment, confused about what to do, but then it began to float upward to the top before it disappeared from my sight. I dropped my gaze and was momentarily envious before I heard a blood-curdling scream. I looked up just in time to see a Reaper diving for the portal to Hell trailing a wayward soul and watched as he entered…

Examining Plato’s arguments as to why representational art is cause for concern for the well-ordered soul and applying those arguments to various forms of architectural visualizations, this paper will attempt to conclude whether this sort of imagery is harmful to the soul or otherwise. Plato first brings to our attention the idea that at the very least, art is twice removed from the Forms, those which are good and pure, making them…

to do an unjust act will only bring an injustice back to him in another form, hence he would rather do what is more right in the eyes of the law than in the opinion of the masses. Also, with Socrates philosophy he believed in the immortality of the soul, consequently he did not believe his execution was truly the end of himself and the arguments against his execution at this time would do no good unless thought to make a difference; which at this point it was too late to hope for the…

Body Both the Buddhist nuns and St. Augustine agree that the body affects how the soul attains enlightenment, but they disagree on the role that the body plays in this process. The Buddhist nuns contend that humans must reject the body in order to achieve enlightenment because the body is a hindrance to the soul, while St. Augustine emphasizes that the body is an instrument that humans must utilize to refine their souls as a means to achieve enlightenment. Thus, both St. Augustine and the…
