Know thyself

Substance When I refer to substance, also mean content; not just of our actions, but of ourselves. Intend for it to come from within. As in“who are you;” “to know thyself;” to know why you act as you do. Both Socrates and Epicurus believed; “the unexamined life is not worth living” (de Botton, A., 2001, p. 4).

Know thyself. That is the Socratic injunction that Augustine uses to guide his thought process throughout his paper entitled, “On the Trinity Book X.” Augustine uses the Socratic injunction as well as logical arguments such as to seek the unknown one must know something about the unknown so it is known in some form. He follows this up by saying since the mind knows itself because it seeks to know itself, but it doesn’t know if it is made of fire or atoms or some bodily object, it is none of…

“The object is not valued for itself, but simply as a means of satisfying the need; it may be bought, sold, and substituted” (Davis, 1936).

I also argue with emotion instead of logic. When we are in an argument with one another it is usually because we believe that…
