In the Meno the question that arises is ‘is virtue teachable’ but instead that questions becomes ‘what is virtue?’ Socrates and Meno reach two different conclusions when answering this question: in the first part of the dialogue it is that virtue is knowledge and it can be taught; in the second, it is that it can only be acquired by a godly gift. Meno’s question whether virtue can be taught is important because it tells us what we must do: if there is some way of acquiring virtue, then we must…

One cannot determine his or her place of birth; rather, it is by chance that one person ends up on one side of the world and another on the opposite. Despite the arbitrary nature of birthplace, patriotism remains one of the most compelling emotions. While powerful, patriotism is also acutely diverse: its outcomes range from mere enthusiasm about the country to violence in order to protect its ideals. In the poems “London, 1802” by Wordsworth and “Douglass” by Dunbar, the narrators show their…

Socrates is convicted of corrupting the young and not believing in the gods of the city. During his trials, his “Apology,” a transliteration of the Greek word apologia, meaning defense consists of 3 parts. The first part would be his main speech, followed by his counter-assessment and finally his last words to the jury. Throughout the apology, Socrates explains how he benefits the citizens of Athens and helps them achieve happiness. The philosophy behind being happy has much more story and depth…

Anima II.12, and (c) potentiality and actuality from De Anima II.5. I will begin with an analysis of the event of Leo's hearing the pouring of the dog-food, and follow that with an examination of why he was able to hear it using the four causes. Aristotle says that sound may exist in either a state of actuality or of potentiality, with the case of the reception of the sound being the discriminatory factor between the two. Sound in potentiality is sound that created and not heard, and sound in…

Aristotle developed a series of six elements that he thought every production should have. Within his six elements, there are: plot, characters, theme, diction, music, and spectacle. Each element is different in its own way and provides a new way of direction in each production than before the poetics were developed. The first element is plot. Aristotle describes plot as why things happen, not just that they do. In his view, there is a reason for why each action in a movie or play happens and…
