Literary Analysis Number Two: Time Unifies Community which Gives Identity Tik tok, tik tok, the time counts down, forever running, never stopping, and never changing. The communities rise, fall, get taken over, change, rise- completing a never ending cycle following to the beat of time. In the book … And the Earth Did not Devour Him, it exhibits the connection, between time and communities, and how these associations have an effect on the individual identities. It can be argued that time…

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…

Professor Escalante PHILO 1301 11/2/2017 Response Paper 1 “Do We Survive Death?” In this interesting chapter, James Rachels starts by uncovering the philosophy of Socrates about the immortal soul. At that point, he utilizes the scientific argument to conflict with Socrates' conclusion about the presence of the soul as a piece of the human body. He at last finishes by talking about different confirmations of the Afterlife and by articulating the contention of David Hume against miracles. As…

lacks and shows that the Republic argument comes to the same conclusion because the soul lacks a characteristic which everything else possesses. It talks about the idea that philosophers have believed in the need for immortality as an ethical fact without seriously jeopardizing the position that love of the good is the sole ultimate motive for virtuous conduct. It highlights Plato’s conviction that the essential soul is not destroyed by moral evil, but must be due less to argumentation and…

Plato introduces the concept of courage as one of the main virtues present in the city he creates throughout The Republic. The virtues (wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice) are compartmentalized and found in specific classes or parts of the city. Plato states upfront that “Now whoever call the city brave or cowardly will think first about its armed forces.” So it follows naturally that courage finds its foundation in the auxiliary class of warriors. Those who protect and defend the city…

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. There is certain weakness that undercut Plato’s argument about the soul’s immortality. I do agree with the thought that the soul is immortal. 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…

1. The first vital principle is; Undoing the Body. Undoing the Body talks about “relaxation”, and cleaning the body of the past. The tensions held from the past are held inside the joints and muscles, and over time the body accumulates the emotional and physical stress that is stored inside the joints. When the body does store negative energy over time, many people do not realize the feeling of tension. If wanting to get rid of this tension, you would want to start in whatever position you feel…

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…
