Louis Groarke in his book, Moral Reasoning: Rediscovering the Ethical Tradition, has a chapter based solely on Socrates and his student Plato called Socrates and Plato. Chapter four: Socrates and Plato are based really based on Plato’s work. Socrates, similar to Jesus, never wrote or documented anything as far as we currently know, and so we rely mostly on Plato’s text to determine who Socrates was. The titled of the chapter is Socrates and Plato, though all we really understand is who Plato was…

Cannibalism They have pretty much a nomadic lifestyle. They stay in community and share their culture with each other. They justify their act of eating human flesh as holy. As per their logic when a person dies he just becomes a useless body of flesh his soul simply escapes from the…

not breathing this cold air, they would surely die exactly as men do in the bath houses. Galen does, however, believe that breathing is associated with the nourishment of the pneuma. Galen asserts that this pneuma is “either the substance of the soul or its primary organ” and that this pneuma “must of necessity be nourished” (121) He states that this pneuma is nourished not by “the vapor rising to it from the blood” but instead that it is by “breathing in through the nostrils that the…

People should be given the right to absolute liberty when it come to self regarding conduct. This is one of the few freedoms that people have left. Almost Every other aspect of our lives is controlled in some way or another. Governments and other powers are trying to intervene and dictate what is allowable in self regarding conduct, but we as a people must rise up and protest. In this paper Self regarding liberty, and social domain will be defined. Then examples of self regarding liberty will be…

virtue, for one can be virtuous without certain knowledge but it seems it would be necessary have wisdom. However Plato does understand the importance of these characters as he explains to Meno in the following way: “Consider whichever [quality of the soul]...you believe not to be knowledge but different from it; do they not at times harm us, at other times benefit us? Courage for example, when it is not wisdom but like a kind of…

Plato’s Republic seeks to answer what the essence of justice is and how it can be enacted both within a city and self. Focusing on the concept of justice within the city, what follows will argue that according to Plato philosophers make the best suited to as they are the only people that possess true knowledge. He believes that no city can be just unless it is ruled by a philosopher as justice itself has an ideal form, therefore making philosophical knowledge necessary to truly understand it. As…

proposition “justice in the soul is a matter of each part performing its own function”. The next stage, in both dialogues, begins when a second proposition is examined, the truth of which is necessary for the truth of the original candidate proposition. In the Meno, this new proposition is that virtue is knowledge and is explicitly called a hypothesis (καὶ συγχώρησον ἐξ ὑποθέσεως αὐτὸ σκοπεῖσθαι, εἴτε διδακτόν ἐστιν εἴτε ὁπωσοῦν. Meno 86e) while in the Republic it is that the soul has the same…

followed towards giving birth, other than those of the doctor. Another aspect would be the respect or worth that the Hmong put on the human soul. The souls to the Hmong seem to be important and are taken care of well. I believe that the heavy reliance on the soul is seen as different, for the American culture as well as the medicine do not take in consideration the soul as much as the Hmong do. I think that this could be a lesson that could be taught to the American culture, we should treat are…

called the soul, which is entirely independent of the body. The Dualist philosophies declare that the mind is completely separate from the body, and therefore is accountable for all conscious feelings, moods, understandings, and beliefs. The brain however is still considered to as much a part of the body as any other physical thing found within it. (2) These same principles state that the brain is part of the body. Another claim was made concerning the spiritual connection of the soul, and how…

Directions like the compass give us a sense of guidance and with Auden using the four directions he gives this the symbol that this person is who made him who he is today. There was no going anywhere unless he was by his side (Genius). Obviously losing your soul mate will be devastating, but there will never be a point in life when you know death is just going to happen and it will not be just another day in our lives passing by. Auden also uses the line, “I though that love would last for ever:…
