It Is Well with My Soul

will present Plato’s notions of the soul in the dialogue Phaedrus, in comparison to his notion of the soul in the Republic. His conceptions in each are similar on the grounds that he accepts the human soul as tripartite, with respects to the same parts that the soul is made up of. However, they differ in terms of the distinct analogies Plato uses to show how the three parts of the soul function individually, and together, as one unit. Plato asserts that the human soul is composite and tripartite…

Four years have passed since I gave him my soul. He came to me today with a box. This box was odd. The odd thing was it was colored, these colors were like a void in space in time. I couldn 't keep my eyes off the box. The colors of the box moved like a wave the colors came in shades of blue, pink, and purple. Maybe my curiosity will kill me. Before I could open my mouth to ask my curious questions he started to talk in a hushed voice. "Elizabeth I know four years ago we made a deal, but now…

Her eyes were beautiful shades of mahogany, yet when she opened her mouth I saw the reason everyone wanted her soul so badly, “Why me, I have such a fabulous life, and I can 't give that up she said,” Hopefully she can change her venomous greed and envy with my help, because if not LLEH World will hold her soul. I remember seeing her once in my past too, on my travels through the northern cities of massachusetts before I died and became the reaper, she was six at the time galloping through…

the relationship between the body and the soul in the Phaedo. Second, I will be stating how Plato’s argument from affinity support his view. And last but not least, the reason why a true philosopher is unafraid of death. There are two classes of things, visible and invisible. Visible things are those we know that exist because they have a form and the invisible things are those we cannot see, they have no form. Many people know that we have a soul we have never seen it but we assume that we…

Recollection suggests that learning is remembering through dialectic: we know the Forms before we are even born. The recollection argument is if the Doctrine of Recollection is true, then the soul must have existed before birth. However, the doctrine is true since these arguments encircle this claim, which means the soul is…

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…

Before watching this documentary, I had no knowledge of the existence of the show called Soul Train. As someone who was born near the end of the show’s run on television, and as an Indian-American, I was never exposed to Soul Train as a kid. I did, however, recognize the term “soul train line.” To my surprise, I already knew some of the segments that were made popular by Soul Train. This dance-music program has had a strong influence on popular culture today so that the newer generation,…

I 'm playing in and more about what I am as a person. From this game I concluded that about one million people are sadist animals and about two million, including myself, are masochistic. Now let me explain why. There is a game series called Dark Souls and Bloodborne created by a Japanese company called FromSoft. This series is notorious for its difficulty; the back of the game box even says to “Prepare to Die”. For the older folks out there, who don’t play games anymore; take Contra and throw…

of trees and give the reader a sense of the importance of these objects. Furthermore, through Hughes’ use of language and images, he is able to create two meanings for the theme of roots. On one hand they refer to the deep roots like trees have as well as in the historical and familial sense. Through these images and powerful details, the reader understands the complexity of the poem and it becomes clear that the poem addresses themes that are much greater in magnitude than simply rivers or…

Whereas many people experience love only as different mental, as well as emotional states in contemporary times, John Donne’s Songs and Sonnets do not simply characterise one constant view of love, but include a vast variety of attitudes and emotions. One could almost think that Donne tried to depict his knowledge of love with the help of his poetry. Love is able to be experienced with the soul, the body, or even both. Moreover, it can also be a religious experience, it can further increase the…
