separate arguments for why the life of the aristocratic soul would be the best and most happy life. The life of the aristocratic soul refers to a society in which its members rely heavily on “experience, reason, and argument” (582a). Rather than the spirited part or the appetitive. In this paper, I will first talk about the kinds of souls. Second, I will address the different parts of the soul that exist in all souls. Third, I will use the context of souls and its parts to explain his first…

they love the most with them by their side. “Alone,” can be religious in a way, “How to find my soul a home” (Angelou 3). The soul of the lonely person can be either good or bad. People can find their soul either in heaven or hell. Mostly depends on the human, to either have a horrible soul or a loving soul. Humans may feel unwanted that their soul tells them to turn their back. On the other hand, the soul can say to not give up, and to try again. Not giving up lets everyone know how strong…

argument for this conclusion and critically evaluate it. The argument appears to commit the fallacy of equivocation. But I think Socrates’ argument can be salvaged by very slightly reformulating it. Nevertheless, the argument tacitly assumes that the soul is immortal and survives the body’s death. Without a defense of this controversial…

also known as On the Soul, is a dialogue that recalls the events right before the execution of Socrates. Socrates, who was charged for atheism and corrupting the youth, is the protagonist of the philosophical discussion. Socrates never wrote any of his ideas down, but it was his student Plato who wrote many of his philosophies in works. Some of Socrates’s ideas that are considered his most important are in the Phaedo, including his three arguments for the immortality of the soul and his argument…

The Republic and Leviathan share many common themes regarding the nature of justice. Plato, the author of The Republic, focuses on the immaterial aspects of the soul relating to justice. Thomas Hobbes, the author of Leviathan, assembled views that deal with the relationships between individuals, or social order. Both authors shared complementary, yet contrasting approaches in relation to justice. Plato begins to question his fellow peers on the nature of justice and what it means. He asks…

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…

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…

wrote The Republic as an apology to Socrates for the behavior of the Greek, while also aiming towards defending the ideas and philosophy of Socrates on Justice. The process through which Plato managed to explain how justice is a part of the human soul is explained as below: Book begins with Cephalus, Plato 's father, saying that justice means simply to follow and oblige to the legalities laid down and by following…

that each person has a soul made up of three parts, all of which correspond with the three classes in society. “Is there one element in us for learning, another for feeling spirited, and yet a third for our desire for the pleasures of food, sex, and things like that?” (Plato, 436 a-b). The rational part of the soul is responsible for seeking truth, as well as our individual philosophical inclinations and relates to the guardian class, whereas the spirited part of the soul corresponds to the…

mirrors the individual soul; therefore, the State virtues mirror the virtues of the individual soul. Plato makes the distinction that the human soul actually has three parts, but that will be discussed later. In order to achieve the virtue moderation, or balance, the three parts of the soul must ultimately be in harmony with each…
