Soul food

more balanced, just soul. Plato believes the human soul is divided into three parts; appetitive, spirited, and rational. The appetitive part desires things like food and sex, the spirited part desires honor, and the rational desires knowledge and Truth. In the just soul, the rational soul would rule, the spirited part would enforce the rational soul and the appetitive soul would obey. Acting unjustly would feed the appetitive and spirited part of the soul which would make the soul imbalance. The…

appetitive parts of the soul are not really pleasures at all, but rather, cessations of pain. EXAMPLE( hungry man). But this, according to Socrates, is not true pleasure. “they, not knowing pleasure, err in contrasting pain with the absence of pain. which is like contrasting black with grey instead of white.” Furthermore, the false pleasures of the appetitive and spirited parts of the soul are transitory(not permanent), and less real than the pleasures of the rational part.

This distinction has been called classically ‘dualism’. In his Meditations, Descartes argues that the meditator recognizes herself as a thinking substance: ‘But what am I? A thing that thinks. What is that? A thing that doubts, understands, affirms, denies, is willing, is…

the new heaven and new earth of the world to come. Afterlife: some denominations believe that after death, the soul goes and sleeps and doesn’t wake up until the resurrection.

views on whether or not the soul is real, do we have one or is it something that is made up for the sake of religion and scaring people into becoming just? Is there a difference between the mind and the brain? Are the soul and the mind connected and do they even exist?
