accepting his death punishment rather than accepting imprisonment or banishment and he will stop philosophizing.

even now today. I will be looking at how Aristotle studied human nature and his philosophies based upon it. I am going to look at how Aristotle described human nature compared to “normal” actions of humans. I will also compare the way Aristotle studied human nature in comparison and contrast with the view on human nature today and how it affects society. Temptations play a huge role in how Aristotle made philosophies upon human nature. Aristotle used religion as a foundation for why temptation…

Western philosophy began in the 6th century BCE in ancient Greece. These first philosophers that we know of are called “Pre-Socratics”, meaning they came before Socrates. Socrates’ philosophical prowess, however, brought forth a time that freedom of self-consciousness was first challenged.

rule as kings...and adequately philosophize, and political power and philosophy coincide in the same place… my dear Glaucon, nor I think for human kind, nor will the regime we have now described in speech ever come forth from nature, insofar as possible, and see the light of the sun.” In other words, Socrates’ perfect city consists of philosophers becoming kings because, in doing so, they are capable of interlacing their philosophies and political power. This then allows for the kings to use…

People continue to search for their God and his love in order to be saved from all evil. In today’s Christianity, the main goal is to find, and allow God to take control and save those who are in need. It is believed that searching for God will help people heal within themselves in order to move forward and make positive life decisions. The only way to escape evil is by allowing God to help and save people from sin. This philosophy is very interesting because it still continues to be followed…
