God, the creator of the universe, has undoubtedly been eventful in His Eternal Existence. Let’s look at proofs in Genesis shall we? He generates the earth, and then He rest on the seventh day; after everything was completed and looking good, God decided to craft one of His most supreme masterpieces ever, man. The entity that is so unique about the formation of man is that God didn’t make man like he made the heavens, earth, or any of the animals; because man was made in His image. So many…

reaction the prisoner had to the sun, basically Plato describes how the light and all its glory was hurting the eyes of the prisoner, but the sun at the same time represents knowledge, freedom, and is the first step in the search of the liberation of the soul that is limited and lock inside the body. To that affirmation, we should ask: why does it hurt to see the light? why is there just so much light that we can handle, and why are humans so sensitive to the light and its representation of…

elaborating his ideas on justice in Nichomachean Ethics, provide a more detailed reflection on justice than Plato. Similar to Plato, Aristotle considered also justice as a virtue and moderation yet contrary to Plato, he thought that justice is not in the soul, but in the actions. Justice in the social sphere is the composition of individual virtues, it is where Aristotle distinguishes from Plato in terms of method. Aristotle emphasizes also the relational and reciprocal character of justice and…

According to a German philosopher Immanuel Kant, “emotions are entirely distinct from reason and rationality. They do not yield knowledge” (Blum, 1980). Reason and emotion have been viewed as distinct entities of the human mind for a long time. with reason being accepted as the more consistent and objective way of knowing by a lot of people. The implication of the prescribed statement that reason can only work that emotions works so well is argumentative. Since reason and emotion are the…

critically evaluate the claims and reasons written by the author in the article , " Reclaiming the power of play" To begin with, in paragraph two of the article, the author states that " play is simply rest or downtime for the otherwise industrious soul". The justification he gave was that " we get our word “scholar” from the Greek word for leisure, skole. It should not be squandered on play, in Aristotle’s view" . Aristotle holds the views that sheer pleasure does not contain any merit in…

in support of his argument. First, he includes the idea that the just man is wise and good while the unjust is ignorant and bad. Then, he argues that injustice prevents internal order and effectiveness which is required to have a fully functioning soul. And finally, as good virtue leads to happiness and virtue is defined as excellence at one’s function, a just person is happier than an unjust one since he performs the soul’s function in the best way possible. After explaining these three key…

would likely go further than that and agree that the mind and the body, while separate, still communicate emotions in a very similar matter. Putting this into a context that contradicts monist thinking, without the soul, a body could not express anger. Similarly, without a body, a soul could not feel anger, meaning that emotions would not exist. However, because there is no way of doubting that emotions exist, the view of monism appears to be somewhat flawed. Meanwhile, dualism manages to…

Plato uses numerous analogies to help demonstrate the idea of philosophical life. Plato uses a ship to help portraye the state and individuality. For the ship to properly run all aboard must do their jobs to the best of their ability. The Navigator, who is in charge of making sure that the captain has the proper course to get them where they need to go. The captain who is in power and in command over the ship. Plato indicates that trouble is on the way when the crew stops doing their jobs in…

One of the main differences that sets the body and mind apart are the qualities they hold. Descartes sees material bodies as spatial, material qualities, and public, and minds as nonspatial, distinctively mental qualities, and private (Cartesian Dualism). These terms to describe them are opposite of each other which then could explain how it is so hard to connect the mind and body as they are exact opposites. It is hard to see how two things are so different somehow work together. The body is…
