The professor is not your adversary. Work with him, not against him. You would not appreciate such posture or attitude if you were speaking at the front of the class. Think about it. Respect your classmates, and learn their names for class discussions. Respecting your classmates includes listening to their questions and comments. Never study for another exam or do work for another class. Never close your books or rustle your papers to signal the end of class. This is like looking at your watch when someone is talking to you—pretty rude. The prof knows what time it is, and will let you know when the class is over. Try not to look at the time during class. Do not walk out of class unless it is truly necessary. Do not walk out of class during an exam without asking permission, and do not even think of taking your phone to the bathroom during an exam. Listen as if the professor were speaking to you alone. Ultimately you alone are responsible for your understanding of the material. If you make an appointment, keep it. No one likes to be stood up. Profs put a great deal of time into preparing for class and also pursue an active scholarly research agenda. Profs are there for students first and foremost, but respect their time and interests. Whether by e-mail, phone, or in person, call your prof by name: Dr. Doolittle, Professor Plum, Mr. Clean, Ms. Demeanor, Ms. Information, whatever. Come to office hours with definite questions, concerns, or problems in mind. This is not your seventh grade science class; you cannot earn extra credit by making a volcano for the science fair. Just work extra hard on the remaining assignments. Better yet, just e-mail me! You are an adult. If you were not in class, the prof assumes you had a good reason. Hand in papers on time, and do not ask for extensions, except under the most extraordinary circumstances. Do not miss scheduled exams or quizzes except under the most extraordinary circumstances. Do not expect a make up or any special accommodations if you do miss. Cheating on exams and quizzes is frowned upon. Do not check your phone during an exam. Instead, answer in full sentences developed into coherent paragraphs. Philosophy is about giving arguments to support or defend your position. This also involves criticizing the beliefs and positions of others—it is not impolite to do so. Some terms and definitions. A belief is TRUE if it corresponds to the way things really are. Truth is objective, not subjective. Warning: Do not plagiarize in any way. Plagiarism is obvious. If you were smart enough to plagiarize and get away with it you would not need to plagiarize in the first place! Special plastic covers and red ribbons on term papers are not necessary, and indeed are not appreciated. No cover pages, title pages, or other excess baggage. New to This Edition.

We will see that this is the case as we examine Socrates' spontaneous oration regarding virtue and how it can not be learned. Obviously, if the lives of these youths had been virtuous, then it might have been possible for them to learn this character trait and to prove Socrates wrong. This is the case because only when someone examines their life do they shake off their bigotry and raise their awareness to a higher level. As alluded to in the introduction, Socrates is correct that the unexamined life is not worth living. This is because only those people who struggle to resolve the contradictions in their life have an existence that is real. Those who do not are at best ignorant and at worst bigots who…… [Read More]. Socrates' Phaedo with special focus on his conception of life and death. It uses the Phaedo as a source. True knowledge is something that individuals would like to achieve. This is because in true knowledge lies the solutions to problems in life that each one faces. Accepting that human life is full of flaws, one can see that having true knowledge means that these flaws can be removed. However, it must also be realized that human beings face large obstacles that prevents them from reaching this truth. This is because the human body and soul are said to co-exist for as much time as the body manages to stay alive; being mortal, one's life has to end, at one time or another. During the co-existence of the body and soul, it is the soul that is deprived of achieving true knowledge and the truth because it is the body that…… [Read More]. Socrates Think of Henry David. Socrates and Thoreau are similar through the fact that both of them lobbied for a just world where slavery would not be present concomitantly with taking advantage of the institution of slavery. Socrates would thus identify with Thoreau, given that each of these two men lived in a time when their opinions were worthless when compared to those of the masses. Thoreau and Socrates were well aware that violence would be pointless in times when slavery was still considered to be normal by the majority. Socrates would however feel that Thoreau's perspective in regard to Brown's decision to use violence as a means to achieve justice is erroneous. This is because Socrates lived in a period when slavery was highly esteemed and when it was virtually impossible for someone to rise against the state with the purpose of abolishing it. In contrast, Thoreau, his abolitionist contemporaries, and society in general…… [Read More]. Socrates Some Years Ago. In an attempt to emphasize the extent to which finance manages ignore ethical consideration is by adhering to the following misconceptions in financial decision-making according to the author: Ethical considerations are idiosyncratic personal views and have no place in business decision-making. Ethical considerations are only relevant if they create risks. Sustainability of long-term investment is safeguarded by existing financial metrics. The most important influencing variables are, according to the author, not always those set forth by watchdog agencies, rather by other influencing factors that are more internal and not usually committed to paper policy or disclosure statements. These internal factoring decision-making regimens are as follows: The manner in which a financial manager gathers relevant data about a prospective business. Does the manager rely solely on financial press information or on social and environmental risk information of both? What financial information does the financial manager request from analysts when assessing a…… [Read More]. Socrates and the Obligation to Obey the Law. Plato's Crito And The Law Among the celebrated treatises on reason and logic known as the dialogues of Plato, it is the relatively short discourse between and the condemned philosopher Socrates his concerned companion Crito which today stands as the most lasting monument to the ancient Greek tradition of pedagogically examining the realm of ethics. The Crito is an artfully constructed depiction of an intensely logical dialectic between the sober and systematic Socrates, who has refuses to defy his impending death sentence as an extension of his conception of justice and injustice, and a wealthy patron willing to finance an attempt at escape. After allowing his friend Crito to present a series of arguments, which include the provision of financing for the flight to freedom and several provocative moral appeals, Socrates responds by reaffirming his commitment to remaining guided by reason. Socrates' subsequent defense of his own imminent execution is…… [Read More]. Socrates vs Buddha Comparisons and. How the respective societies responded to the various ideas? Socrates would have a dramatic impact upon society, as the various ideas he presented would become a part of the moral code that is often cited, as a part of basic sociology. A good example of this can be seen with social contract theory. The ideas of good and justice can be directly seen with how humans react to various situations they face, either consciously or unconsciously. The underlying positive or negative experiences will shape how someone views the world around them. Those who can associate goodness and justice, to their actions will have the most positive effect, on the individual and within society. Over the centuries, this sense moral goodness has become a part of the moral standards within Western…… [Read More]. Socrates' Life and Death. Socrates was won't to display his wisdom and excellence to the people of his day. He particularly annoyed the jury, which was prone to show compassion and favor to a person who seeks pity and humiliates himself. Nonetheless, Xenophon did not think that Socrates' sentence of death was untimely, even in Socrates' own eye Patch, pp This, he explained, was why the…… [Read More]. Socrates and Descartes Explored. Christian Worldview The author of this brief report has been asked to ponder and consider the words and actions of classical authors such as Socrates and Descartes. With Socrates, it could easily be argued that he behaved and carried himself in a Christian way. Even with that, there are clear divergences between Christian philosophy and classical antiquity and those will be explored. Also up for debate are the subjects of doubt and in what ways Descartes pondered this. While there is a lot of classical literature that is devoid of Christian mention, there are some principles and standards put forth that are very reminiscent of, and similar to, the Christian mindset and ideology. As for three things that are different between classical antiquity and Christian-based theology, one thing that is clear is that the people of those days obviously believed in a number of Gods and, quite often, the Christian…… [Read More]. Socrates Recollection the Soul and Virtue. Phaedrus: The Soul and the ecollection of Virtue Plato states that "a man must have intelligence of universals, and be able to proceed from the many particulars of sense to one conception of reason; -- this is the recollection of those things which our soul once saw while following God -- when regardless of that which we now call being she raised her head up towards the true being" For Socrates, God is everything. He is All. God is what Socrates calls "the true being" from which all knowledge and intelligence comes. Souls that have not seen God before do not "pass into the human form" -- for God does not place a "soul which has never seen the truth" into the body of a man Thus, when a man recognizes truth on earth, he is simply recollecting in…… [Read More]. Life of Socrates. Socrates Self-knowledge is a prerequisite for wisdom. For Socrates, self-knowledge or self-understanding is the precursor of the ability to probe the world outside of the self. In fact, Socratic wisdom is wisdom that is manifest and known. The Socratic process of probing and inquiry is designed specifically to eliminate that which cannot be known or that which is irrelevant to the pursuit of wisdom and understanding. The process of Socratic dialogue is coupled with the process of arguing ad absurdum, until the kernel of truth remaining after the inquiry may be recognized as wisdom. Yet before a person can even begin to explore the universe, the person must explore the self. The exploration of self is not a narcissistic inquiry but rather, an inquiry into the nature of human being. It is important to understand the human experience, the human mind, and human patterns of perception and cognition. Socrates also…… [Read More]. Compare Socrates View of Life to Zenism. Although simple, I was reminded of this -- When the student is ready the teacher will come. That mantra came from a television series about a 'half American' and 'half Chinese' Shoaling monk. The Television series was Kung Fu and although the story was a little out of date, even for a western, the star of the show, Kwi Chang Cain, whenever in trouble or in a situation needing reflection, had an ancient memory jarred…… [Read More]. How Socrates Argues against Crito. First, I will reconstruct the argument, and discuss why it is significant. Then, I will show that the argument is successful, and why. I will then consider possible objections to what I have said, and how I would reply to them. Finally, I will summarize the contents of the paper, showing what has been accomplished by my analysis. Socrates begins his argument from generalized principles that are accepted as true and then moves to a specific conclusion, and thus his argument is deductive in nature. Socrates views…… [Read More]. Phaedo Plato Relates Socrates' Final. Socrates is actually right in the last clause, because neither the ideas nor the souls existed before birth, partially because birth is an arbitrary limit. The use of birth as a delineation is entirely arbitrary and is rooted in the same kind of inaccurate conception of identity and consciousness that underpins Socrates' entire worldview. The prenatal knowledge Socrates imagines he has observed exists before birth in that it is encoded into a human's DNA well before any given baby passes through a birth canal, but there is no evidence for that baby somehow being filled with knowledge or consciousness at a certain point such that one can talk about before birth and after birth as useful time designations. Again, Socrates' argumentative and logical failures are largely born out of scientific ignorance, but this does not lessen the fact that he is not so much making a genuine argument as much…… [Read More]. Euthyphro, Socrates questions Euthyphro about his proposed course of action concerning his father. Explain in detail the reason given by Euthyphro. In the dialogue, the self-proclaimed pious Euthyphro is made to stand in for unquestioned religious orthodoxy, an orthodoxy which is interrogated over the course of the dialogue in Euthyphro's guise Navia The young man Euthyphro states that he is bringing forth a case against his father for the death of a slave. The slave died of exposure after the father bound the man and threw him in a ditch after the slave himself was accused of murder. Euthyphro first defines his action of prosecution as piety itself. This essay test ability recognize engag The principle tenet discussed in the Socratic Dialogue Euthyphro, which centers on a discussion between Euthyphro and the great Greek philosopher, is piety or holiness. This topic emerges in the dialogue because it is of immense importance to the future of both men. They meet on the porch of King Archon, and quickly ascertain that each is there for a legal trial. Socrates discloses the fact that he has been charged with corrupting the youth principally because his accuser believes he is slandering the gods by disavowing their piety or by creating new ones which is disrespectful to the established ones. Euthyphro is there to bring his father up on charges of murder. Since he professes to be extremely well versed in the conception of piety and holiness, Socrates asks him to discuss this topic Plato, B. This essay test ability recognize engag The concept of holiness is central to the Platonic dialogue that takes place between Euthyphro and Socrates in Euthyphro. This topic is of immense interest to both of the aforementioned participants due to the fact that they are both headed for a legal trial. Socrates has been brought up on trial for charges that he is corrupting the youth; Euthyphro is taking his father to task for the charge of murder. Socrates is particularly concerned with the latter's trial due to the notion of piety which Euthyphro professes guides him in his work in which he will prosecute his father. Part of the accusations against Socrates involve the fact that he is acting like a "poet" Plato, B. E , meaning, of course, that in his teachings to the youth there is an irreverence in which he disavows current…… [Read More]. Freud's Writing by Socrates and Socrates' Writing. Here, he describes his belief in the true identity of the nature of man. More than anything else, man is aggressive. This aggression is essentially caused out of the tension and conflict between innate primal desires and the demands of social mores. Such aggression is often channeled through the death drive, the primal need to destroy which must be released in one way or another, even in a modern context. In this view, society then attempts to civilize that aggressiveness so that we can live together without killing each other. It redirects primal and sexual energies into more positively viewed energies and behaviors. In Freud's view, religion serves as an institute of society, and aims to tame…… [Read More]. Greek Philosopher Socrates Has Made. Such a lifestyle is unrealistic and one that is not plausible for most members of society. Instead, what is necessary is a life where one acquires the social and emotional skills necessary to allow one to recognize what is morally right and then to live one's life in accordance with such recognition. This process does not require a constant introspective vigilance like the one that Socrates proposes. Most men are not philosophers like Socrates and are busy with their day-to-day lives. They do not have the time or inclination to spend their days contemplating their existence. As long as they live a good life, their lives are no less meaningful. In the end, Socrates would likely agree. The importance of Socrates' statement is that he remained true to his beliefs to the very end. He had spent his life questioning everything including those in authority and, in the process, he…… [Read More]. Nietzsche's the Problem of Socrates. Socrates The basis of Nietzsche's arguments lies in the fact that he disagrees with the view that life is essentially worthless. According to the author, Socrates and other great ancient philosophers all come to the same conclusion after making a number of observations about life and how to live it; that it is worthless. The ultimate result is not only death, but also a wish for death resulting from the fact that there is nothing in life that can truly be said to mean something. Nietzsche furthermore argues that the modern view is quite different from this: there is a sanctity and purpose to the lives we lead today. Therefore the high regard given to philosophers such as Socrates should be reconsidered. Nietzsche feels that this regard for the ancient philosophers is a symptom of the human herd mentality rather than clear and rational thought. Great philosophers should not be…… [Read More]. Philosophy Socrates and Oedipus A. He prided himself on being a king that put the needs of his people above his own, struggling to keep his own feelings under wrap and focus instead on what his people needed. This desire to help the people led him to seek a cure for the plague, which was destroying people in masses. He sent Creon to Delphi, Apollo's place of revelation, to find out what could be done to save the city. Creon was told that the state must avenge the death of the former king Laios. After doing a little sould-searching, Oedipus learns that he was the killer of Laios, who was his father. Oedipus takes full responsibility for the crime. And I myself pronounced this malediction upon myself" Sophocles, Like Socrates, Oedipus is visited by…… [Read More]. Plato's Apology and Socrates' Trial. To wit, in Socrates' day, there were no official government prosecutors commonly referred to in modern America as "District Attorneys" ; in effect, any citizen could bring an indictment against any other citizen, and call for a trial. And that's basically what happened to Socrates. Bush stated, "I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me. Cheney similarly stated. Bush's answer was, "I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me Philosophy Socrates has been accused of not recognizing the gods of the state, and also of inventing gods of his own. In fact, this is a two-part accusation. Socrates is first being accused for not believing in the state-sanctioned religion. Of course, it is impossible to know what Socrates does or does not believe. Based on his words, though, it would seem Socrates does actually believe in the gods although may not pay them the kind of respect that the Athenian courts would prefer. The second part of the accusation is different. Here, the state accuses Socrates of inventing new divinities of his own. Socrates is in fact not starting a new religion and he does not tout the divine authority of any deity. If the accusation is taken collectively, that is, if declaration of guilt or innocence is made on the fulfillment of both these two parts, then Socrates…… [Read More]. Plato the Apology of Socrates the Charges. This is how Socrates himself phrases it: And now I will try to defend myself against them: these new accusers must also have their affidavit read. What do they say? Something of this sort: - That Socrates is a doer of evil, and corrupter of the youth, and he does not believe in the gods of the state, and has other new divinities of his own. Plato In other words, the first charge is that Socrates has corrupted the youth of Athens, and the second charge is that of impiety towards the official gods of Athens. Socrates in his defense begins by cross-examining his accuser, Meletus. On the first charge he asks whether Meletus thinks his corruption of young minds was intentional: when Meletus says it was, Socrates notes that Meletus has never…… [Read More]. Apology of Socrates in Plato's. He even goes so far as to say that if in death he can talk with Orpheus, Musaeus, Homer and Hesiod, death will be worth it. He says, "Nay, if this be true, let me die again and again. He and his are not neglected by the gods. He claims that his arguments were sound, but he did not do what the jury wanted him to do. Socrates gives some words of encouragement to the people who follow him, telling them that he did…… [Read More]. Socratic Argument in the Apology Socrates Is. Socratic Argument In the Apology, Socrates is being placed on trial by three of his rivals for different activities that he is accused of being involved in. The most notable include: corrupting the youth of Athens and not supporting the same religious beliefs as everyone else. During the trial, his enemies are utilizing these charges to demonstrate how he knowingly engaged in these actions. They are demanding that he apologize for the crimes that he committed and begin to conform to the most common practices in contemporary society. Plato, "The Apology," "Analysis of the Apology," However, Socrates uses this as a forum to ridicule these individuals, question the legitimacy of the trial and to defend himself. This is problematic, as these cavalier attitudes will eventually lead to him being found guilty and sentenced to death. To fully understand what is taking place requires carefully examining his key…… [Read More]. Phaedo, Socrates asserts that the physical senses are a distraction to acquired pure knowledge. What reasons does Socrates give to justify this assertion? Did you find Socrates' argument on this point convincing? Why or why not? Was there anything that you read in the Phaedo that you found especially interesting, or that you did not completely understand? The best way that we can understand Socrates' reason for seeing the physical senses as distraction is by understanding his underlying philosophy of Forms. To Socrates, every physical and conceptual element was a Form that was merely a mirage of eth Ideal within. The Ideal was contained within the Form, but beyond it, and the physical packaging of the Form occluded it. True happiness and Love can never consist of physical manifestation; it is always alluding to something beyond it - to the true eudemonia which is genuine, authentic bliss which is contained…… [Read More]. Philosophy Socrates Was a Proud Citizen of. Philosophy Socrates was a proud citizen of Athens. He loved his native state so much that when he was condemned before her courts, he prefered to be sentences to death instead of exile, because to be away from Athens would have been unbearable to him. He had fought bravely in her wars and won great acclaim, and laid his life on the line for her protection. Considering the degree of patriotism with which Socrates was endowed, it is strange and ironic that he was brought up on charges of corrupting the youth and challenging the laws of his state. It may in fact have been Socrates' passion for the egalitarian values of Athens that led to his prosection and death. As the first democracy, ancient Athens was a society where lawsuits ran rampant. In that day many people seemed to scorn the constant suing, and it was a matter of…… [Read More]. Greek Studies Socrates and the Sophists Socrates and the Sophists held many of their philosophical beliefs in common, and this was the very beginning of philosophical thought, debate, and education. However, a major difference between Socrates ideas and the ideas of the Sophists was Socrates belief that the Sophists idea of relativism was based in skill but had no real insight into the real questions of the universe that mattered. He felt the Sophists taught the basics of good politics, which of course were of extreme importance in Athens, but they did not teach the basics of life and living. He also believed that the Sophists were very successful at attacking and changing the old "system of beliefs" but they had not created a workable and successful substitute for the people.

Philosophy is about giving arguments to support or defend your position. This also involves criticizing the beliefs and positions of others—it is not impolite to do so. Some terms and definitions. A belief is TRUE if it corresponds to the way things really are. Truth is objective, not subjective. Warning: Do not plagiarize in any way. Plagiarism is obvious.

Special plastic covers and red ribbons on term papers are not necessary, and indeed are not appreciated. No cover pages, title pages, or other excess baggage. Thank you. Staple your term paper once in the upper left corner. Never ask the prof for a stapler—he is not your secretary or supply store. Use a title for your paper different from the name of the book you are examining. Titles of movies, TV shows, and books should be in italics. Titles of articles should be enclosed in quotation marks. Include a Works Cited section if you cite from any book including the one assigned , article, website, etc. Do not ask if your paper is graded the day after you handed it in. You had a reasonable amount of time to write it, now give the prof a reasonable amount of time to grade it. Contrary to popular opinion, grading is not easy and profs do not take sadistic pleasure in it. It is the worst part of the job, and profs strive to be as fair as possible. The best reason to major in philosophy is that you find the subject interesting and exciting. Philosophy IS the road less traveled, and it can make all the difference. Most majors offer only a few career possibilities, but with a philosophy major the possibilities are endless. The list of careers and career areas typically pursued by philosophy majors includes, but is not limited to: law, medicine, education, F. You should know that philosophy works very well as a double major or minor with any other area of study. The study of philosophy can provide you with highly valuable insight into the nature of literature and the humanities, psychology and the social sciences, chemistry and the natural sciences, and economics and business. You can earn a minor in philosophy by taking just four courses beyond the Core requirements. Yes you have! Here are just a few of the philosophy majors you may certainly have heard of:. Contemporary Writers: T. The Philosophy Major is one of the best- kept secrets at King's. Here's what some of our recent graduates have to say. Philosophy has helped me understand the many viewpoints of my students, how to converse with others to get my ideas across in a meaningful way, and how to make well-thought decisions quickly. Any person from any major can gain new skills through the study of philosophy—I would highly recommend it. Other majors teach students how to become bankers or historians. Philosophy has taught me how to be a human being. It taught me to evaluate choices and think ethically. I know I can succeed in graduate school, in the workplace, or anywhere else I end up in life, all due to my education in philosophy. Several of the readings and logic puzzles on the LSAT I had encountered before in my philosophy classes, and thus the LSAT ended up being easier for me with my philosophical background. If people are able to understand why they hold their beliefs and are able to provide good reasons for holding beliefs, they are more likely to benefit society and less likely to harm themselves and others. I chose to pursue philosophy as a second major, and I was amply rewarded on many different levels. The philosophy program at Kings teaches you skills that you'll actually benefit from in your everyday life: how to think and ask questions. You can get by listening to your gut and common wisdom, but if you can make informed decisions on your own then you have a chance to actually influence where it is you're going. I had quite a bit of fun and can't help but think that I'm a better person for it. In short, Philosophy can make you—and the world around you—a whole lot more interesting.

Publication date Topics Philosophy Modern philosophy -- v. In the 19th century the philosophies of the Enlightenment began to have a dramatic effect, the landmark works of earlier philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Jean- Jacques Rousseau influences the 19th century generation of thinkers. In the late 18th century a movement known as Romanticism began; it inspires music, literature, and philosophy. For someone to adequately understand Western philosophy it is important to go back to its foundations, and that means the study of Ancient Philosophy. In this classic five- volume anthology Forrest Baird and Walter Kaufmann's first volume is devoted to the philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. Designed to be accessible to today's students, this anthology of readings in contemporary Western philosophy focuses on Nineteenth-century philosophers who represent a variety of different responses to the issue of the day i. Kierkegaard And Nietzsche: Contrasts and Comparisons. They were distinguished from "non-philosophers" insofar as they rejected mythological explanations in favor of reasoned discourse. Thales of Miletus , regarded by Aristotle as the first philosopher, [8] held that all things arise from a single material substance, water. Thales inspired the Milesian school of philosophy and was followed by Anaximander , who argued that the substratum or arche could not be water or any of the classical elements but was instead something "unlimited" or "indefinite" in Greek, the apeiron. He began from the observation that the world seems to consist of opposites e. Therefore, they cannot truly be opposites but rather must both be manifestations of some underlying unity that is neither. This underlying unity substratum, arche could not be any of the classical elements, since they were one extreme or another. For example, water is wet, the opposite of dry, while fire is dry, the opposite of wet. Xenophanes was born in Ionia , where the Milesian school was at its most powerful, and may have picked up some of the Milesians' cosmological theories as a result. Xenophanes was highly influential to subsequent schools of philosophy. He was seen as the founder of a line of philosophy that culminated in Pyrrhonism [18] , possibly an influence on Eleatic philosophy , and a precursor to Epicurus ' total break between science and religion. Pythagoras lived at roughly the same time that Xenophanes did and, in contrast to the latter, the school that he founded sought to reconcile religious belief and reason. Little is known about his life with any reliability, however, and no writings of his survive, so it is possible that he was simply a mystic whose successors introduced rationalism into Pythagoreanism, that he was simply a rationalist whose successors are responsible for the mysticism in Pythagoreanism, or that he was actually the author of the doctrine; there is no way to know for certain. Pythagoras is said to have been a disciple of Anaximander and to have imbibed the cosmological concerns of the Ionians, including the idea that the cosmos is constructed of spheres, the importance of the infinite, and that air or aether is the arche of everything. Heraclitus must have lived after Xenophanes and Pythagoras, as he condemns them along with Homer as proving that much learning cannot teach a man to think; since Parmenides refers to him in the past tense, this would place him in the 5th century BCE. All things come to pass in accordance with Logos , [25] which must be considered as "plan" or "formula", [26] and "the Logos is common". Parmenides of Elea cast his philosophy against those who held "it is and is not the same, and all things travel in opposite directions,"—presumably referring to Heraclitus and those who followed him. In support of this, Parmenides' pupil Zeno of Elea attempted to prove that the concept of motion was absurd and as such motion did not exist. He also attacked the subsequent development of pluralism, arguing that it was incompatible with Being. The power of Parmenides' logic was such that some subsequent philosophers abandoned the monism of the Milesians, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, and Parmenides, where one thing was the arche , and adopted pluralism , such as Empedocles and Anaxagoras. Agreeing with Parmenides that there is no coming into being or passing away, genesis or decay, they said that things appear to come into being and pass away because the elements out of which they are composed assemble or disassemble while themselves being unchanging. Leucippus also proposed an ontological pluralism with a cosmogony based on two main elements: the vacuum and atoms. These, by means of their inherent movement, are crossing the void and creating the real material bodies. His theories were not well known by the time of Plato , however, and they were ultimately incorporated into the work of his student, Democritus. Sophism arose from the juxtaposition of physis nature and nomos law. John Burnet posits its origin in the scientific progress of the previous centuries which suggested that Being was radically different from what was experienced by the senses and, if comprehensible at all, was not comprehensible in terms of order; the world in which men lived, on the other hand, was one of law and order, albeit of humankind's own making. The first man to call himself a sophist, according to Plato, was Protagoras , whom he presents as teaching that all virtue is conventional. It was Protagoras who claimed that "man is the measure of all things, of the things that are, that they are, and of the things that are not, that they are not," which Plato interprets as a radical perspectivism , where some things seem to be one way for one person and so actually are that way and another way for another person and so actually are that way as well ; the conclusion being that one cannot look to nature for guidance regarding how to live one's life. Protagoras and subsequent sophists tended to teach rhetoric as their primary vocation. Prodicus , Gorgias , Hippias , and Thrasymachus appear in various dialogues , sometimes explicitly teaching that while nature provides no ethical guidance, the guidance that the laws provide is worthless, or that nature favors those who act against the laws. Socrates, believed to have been born in Athens in the 5th century BCE, marks a watershed in ancient Greek philosophy. Athens was a center of learning, with sophists and philosophers traveling from across Greece to teach rhetoric, astronomy, cosmology, and geometry. The great statesman Pericles was closely associated with this new learning and a friend of Anaxagoras , however, and his political opponents struck at him by taking advantage of a conservative reaction against the philosophers; it became a crime to investigate the things above the heavens or below the earth, subjects considered impious. Anaxagoras is said to have been charged and to have fled into exile when Socrates was about twenty years of age. In the version of his defense speech presented by Plato, he claims that it is the envy he arouses on account of his being a philosopher that will convict him. While philosophy was an established pursuit prior to Socrates, Cicero credits him as "the first who brought philosophy down from the heavens, placed it in cities, introduced it into families, and obliged it to examine into life and morals, and good and evil. The fact that many conversations involving Socrates as recounted by Plato and Xenophon end without having reached a firm conclusion, or aporetically , [46] has stimulated debate over the meaning of the Socratic method. While Socrates' recorded conversations rarely provide a definite answer to the question under examination, several maxims or paradoxes for which he has become known recur. Socrates taught that no one desires what is bad, and so if anyone does something that truly is bad, it must be unwillingly or out of ignorance; consequently, all virtue is knowledge. Plato presents him as distinguishing himself from the common run of mankind by the fact that, while they know nothing noble and good, they do not know that they do not know, whereas Socrates knows and acknowledges that he knows nothing noble and good. Numerous subsequent philosophical movements were inspired by Socrates or his younger associates. Plato casts Socrates as the main interlocutor in his dialogues , deriving from them the basis of Platonism and by extension, Neoplatonism. Plato's student Aristotle in turn criticized and built upon the doctrines he ascribed to Socrates and Plato, forming the foundation of Aristotelianism. Antisthenes founded the school that would come to be known as Cynicism and accused Plato of distorting Socrates' teachings. Zeno of Citium in turn adapted the ethics of Cynicism to articulate Stoicism. Epicurus studied with Platonic and Pyrrhonist teachers before renouncing all previous philosophers including Democritus , on whose atomism the Epicurean philosophy relies. The philosophic movements that were to dominate the intellectual life of the Roman empire were thus born in this febrile period following Socrates' activity, and either directly or indirectly influenced by him. They were also absorbed by the expanding Muslim world in the 7th through 10th centuries AD, from which they returned to the West as foundations of Medieval philosophy and the Renaissance , as discussed below. Plato was an Athenian of the generation after Socrates. Ancient tradition ascribes thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters to him, although of these only twenty-four of the dialogues are now universally recognized as authentic; most modern scholars believe that at least twenty-eight dialogues and two of the letters were in fact written by Plato, although all of the thirty-six dialogues have some defenders. Plato's dialogues feature Socrates, although not always as the leader of the conversation. One dialogue, the Laws , instead contains an "Athenian Stranger.

Although simple, I was reminded of this -- When the student is ready the teacher will come. That mantra came from a television series about a 'half American' and 'half Chinese' Shoaling monk. The Television series was Kung Fu and although the story was a little out of date, even for a western, the star of the show, Kwi Chang Cain, whenever in trouble or in a situation needing reflection, had an ancient memory jarred…… [Read More]. How Socrates Argues against Crito. First, I will reconstruct the argument, and discuss why it is significant. Then, I will show that the argument is successful, and why. I will then consider possible objections to what I have said, and how I would reply to them. Finally, I will summarize the contents of the paper, showing what has been accomplished by my analysis. Socrates begins his argument from generalized principles that are accepted as true and then moves to a specific conclusion, and thus his argument is deductive in nature. Socrates views…… [Read More]. Phaedo Plato Relates Socrates' Final. Socrates is actually right in the last clause, because neither the ideas nor the souls existed before birth, partially because birth is an arbitrary limit. The use of birth as a delineation is entirely arbitrary and is rooted in the same kind of inaccurate conception of identity and consciousness that underpins Socrates' entire worldview. The prenatal knowledge Socrates imagines he has observed exists before birth in that it is encoded into a human's DNA well before any given baby passes through a birth canal, but there is no evidence for that baby somehow being filled with knowledge or consciousness at a certain point such that one can talk about before birth and after birth as useful time designations. Again, Socrates' argumentative and logical failures are largely born out of scientific ignorance, but this does not lessen the fact that he is not so much making a genuine argument as much…… [Read More]. Euthyphro, Socrates questions Euthyphro about his proposed course of action concerning his father. Explain in detail the reason given by Euthyphro. In the dialogue, the self-proclaimed pious Euthyphro is made to stand in for unquestioned religious orthodoxy, an orthodoxy which is interrogated over the course of the dialogue in Euthyphro's guise Navia The young man Euthyphro states that he is bringing forth a case against his father for the death of a slave. The slave died of exposure after the father bound the man and threw him in a ditch after the slave himself was accused of murder. Euthyphro first defines his action of prosecution as piety itself. This essay test ability recognize engag The principle tenet discussed in the Socratic Dialogue Euthyphro, which centers on a discussion between Euthyphro and the great Greek philosopher, is piety or holiness. This topic emerges in the dialogue because it is of immense importance to the future of both men. They meet on the porch of King Archon, and quickly ascertain that each is there for a legal trial. Socrates discloses the fact that he has been charged with corrupting the youth principally because his accuser believes he is slandering the gods by disavowing their piety or by creating new ones which is disrespectful to the established ones. Euthyphro is there to bring his father up on charges of murder. Since he professes to be extremely well versed in the conception of piety and holiness, Socrates asks him to discuss this topic Plato, B. This essay test ability recognize engag The concept of holiness is central to the Platonic dialogue that takes place between Euthyphro and Socrates in Euthyphro. This topic is of immense interest to both of the aforementioned participants due to the fact that they are both headed for a legal trial. Socrates has been brought up on trial for charges that he is corrupting the youth; Euthyphro is taking his father to task for the charge of murder. Socrates is particularly concerned with the latter's trial due to the notion of piety which Euthyphro professes guides him in his work in which he will prosecute his father. Part of the accusations against Socrates involve the fact that he is acting like a "poet" Plato, B. E , meaning, of course, that in his teachings to the youth there is an irreverence in which he disavows current…… [Read More]. Freud's Writing by Socrates and Socrates' Writing. Here, he describes his belief in the true identity of the nature of man. More than anything else, man is aggressive. This aggression is essentially caused out of the tension and conflict between innate primal desires and the demands of social mores. Such aggression is often channeled through the death drive, the primal need to destroy which must be released in one way or another, even in a modern context. In this view, society then attempts to civilize that aggressiveness so that we can live together without killing each other. It redirects primal and sexual energies into more positively viewed energies and behaviors. In Freud's view, religion serves as an institute of society, and aims to tame…… [Read More]. Greek Philosopher Socrates Has Made. Such a lifestyle is unrealistic and one that is not plausible for most members of society. Instead, what is necessary is a life where one acquires the social and emotional skills necessary to allow one to recognize what is morally right and then to live one's life in accordance with such recognition. This process does not require a constant introspective vigilance like the one that Socrates proposes. Most men are not philosophers like Socrates and are busy with their day-to-day lives. They do not have the time or inclination to spend their days contemplating their existence. As long as they live a good life, their lives are no less meaningful. In the end, Socrates would likely agree. The importance of Socrates' statement is that he remained true to his beliefs to the very end. He had spent his life questioning everything including those in authority and, in the process, he…… [Read More]. Nietzsche's the Problem of Socrates. Socrates The basis of Nietzsche's arguments lies in the fact that he disagrees with the view that life is essentially worthless. According to the author, Socrates and other great ancient philosophers all come to the same conclusion after making a number of observations about life and how to live it; that it is worthless. The ultimate result is not only death, but also a wish for death resulting from the fact that there is nothing in life that can truly be said to mean something. Nietzsche furthermore argues that the modern view is quite different from this: there is a sanctity and purpose to the lives we lead today. Therefore the high regard given to philosophers such as Socrates should be reconsidered. Nietzsche feels that this regard for the ancient philosophers is a symptom of the human herd mentality rather than clear and rational thought. Great philosophers should not be…… [Read More]. Philosophy Socrates and Oedipus A. He prided himself on being a king that put the needs of his people above his own, struggling to keep his own feelings under wrap and focus instead on what his people needed. This desire to help the people led him to seek a cure for the plague, which was destroying people in masses. He sent Creon to Delphi, Apollo's place of revelation, to find out what could be done to save the city. Creon was told that the state must avenge the death of the former king Laios. After doing a little sould-searching, Oedipus learns that he was the killer of Laios, who was his father. Oedipus takes full responsibility for the crime. And I myself pronounced this malediction upon myself" Sophocles, Like Socrates, Oedipus is visited by…… [Read More]. Plato's Apology and Socrates' Trial. To wit, in Socrates' day, there were no official government prosecutors commonly referred to in modern America as "District Attorneys" ; in effect, any citizen could bring an indictment against any other citizen, and call for a trial. And that's basically what happened to Socrates. Bush stated, "I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me. Cheney similarly stated. Bush's answer was, "I will never question the patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me Philosophy Socrates has been accused of not recognizing the gods of the state, and also of inventing gods of his own. In fact, this is a two-part accusation. Socrates is first being accused for not believing in the state-sanctioned religion. Of course, it is impossible to know what Socrates does or does not believe. Based on his words, though, it would seem Socrates does actually believe in the gods although may not pay them the kind of respect that the Athenian courts would prefer. The second part of the accusation is different. Here, the state accuses Socrates of inventing new divinities of his own. Socrates is in fact not starting a new religion and he does not tout the divine authority of any deity. If the accusation is taken collectively, that is, if declaration of guilt or innocence is made on the fulfillment of both these two parts, then Socrates…… [Read More]. Plato the Apology of Socrates the Charges. This is how Socrates himself phrases it: And now I will try to defend myself against them: these new accusers must also have their affidavit read. What do they say? Something of this sort: - That Socrates is a doer of evil, and corrupter of the youth, and he does not believe in the gods of the state, and has other new divinities of his own. Plato In other words, the first charge is that Socrates has corrupted the youth of Athens, and the second charge is that of impiety towards the official gods of Athens. Socrates in his defense begins by cross-examining his accuser, Meletus. On the first charge he asks whether Meletus thinks his corruption of young minds was intentional: when Meletus says it was, Socrates notes that Meletus has never…… [Read More]. Apology of Socrates in Plato's. He even goes so far as to say that if in death he can talk with Orpheus, Musaeus, Homer and Hesiod, death will be worth it. He says, "Nay, if this be true, let me die again and again. He and his are not neglected by the gods. He claims that his arguments were sound, but he did not do what the jury wanted him to do. Socrates gives some words of encouragement to the people who follow him, telling them that he did…… [Read More]. Socratic Argument in the Apology Socrates Is. Socratic Argument In the Apology, Socrates is being placed on trial by three of his rivals for different activities that he is accused of being involved in. The most notable include: corrupting the youth of Athens and not supporting the same religious beliefs as everyone else. During the trial, his enemies are utilizing these charges to demonstrate how he knowingly engaged in these actions. They are demanding that he apologize for the crimes that he committed and begin to conform to the most common practices in contemporary society. Plato, "The Apology," "Analysis of the Apology," However, Socrates uses this as a forum to ridicule these individuals, question the legitimacy of the trial and to defend himself. This is problematic, as these cavalier attitudes will eventually lead to him being found guilty and sentenced to death. To fully understand what is taking place requires carefully examining his key…… [Read More]. Phaedo, Socrates asserts that the physical senses are a distraction to acquired pure knowledge. What reasons does Socrates give to justify this assertion? Did you find Socrates' argument on this point convincing? Why or why not? Was there anything that you read in the Phaedo that you found especially interesting, or that you did not completely understand? The best way that we can understand Socrates' reason for seeing the physical senses as distraction is by understanding his underlying philosophy of Forms. To Socrates, every physical and conceptual element was a Form that was merely a mirage of eth Ideal within. The Ideal was contained within the Form, but beyond it, and the physical packaging of the Form occluded it. True happiness and Love can never consist of physical manifestation; it is always alluding to something beyond it - to the true eudemonia which is genuine, authentic bliss which is contained…… [Read More]. Philosophy Socrates Was a Proud Citizen of. Philosophy Socrates was a proud citizen of Athens. He loved his native state so much that when he was condemned before her courts, he prefered to be sentences to death instead of exile, because to be away from Athens would have been unbearable to him. He had fought bravely in her wars and won great acclaim, and laid his life on the line for her protection. Considering the degree of patriotism with which Socrates was endowed, it is strange and ironic that he was brought up on charges of corrupting the youth and challenging the laws of his state. It may in fact have been Socrates' passion for the egalitarian values of Athens that led to his prosection and death. As the first democracy, ancient Athens was a society where lawsuits ran rampant. In that day many people seemed to scorn the constant suing, and it was a matter of…… [Read More]. Greek Studies Socrates and the Sophists Socrates and the Sophists held many of their philosophical beliefs in common, and this was the very beginning of philosophical thought, debate, and education. However, a major difference between Socrates ideas and the ideas of the Sophists was Socrates belief that the Sophists idea of relativism was based in skill but had no real insight into the real questions of the universe that mattered. He felt the Sophists taught the basics of good politics, which of course were of extreme importance in Athens, but they did not teach the basics of life and living. He also believed that the Sophists were very successful at attacking and changing the old "system of beliefs" but they had not created a workable and successful substitute for the people. Socrates also believed that morals came directly from how the person lived their life through objective standards and rational…… [Read More]. Plato and Socrates -- Human Soul There. Plato and Socrates -- Human Soul There are a number of philosophical tenets that have been the subject of intense scrutiny since humans coalesced into formal societies. Do the ends justify the means? Moreover, most of all, why are we here and are we free to act as individuals toward greater good? Free will, for instance, or the idea of that human's make choices unconstrained, has been contested even as a concept. The paradigm that humans may make rational choices and that life is not predetermined from "divine" beings allows one to look at a number of philosophical constructs that are on a continuum between the idea that determinism is false and that of hard determinism, or the idea that determinism is true and free will completely impossible forms the crux of a…… [Read More]. This could be true; however, not necessarily the reality on the ground. Additionally, there are different types of leaders depending on their leading requirements and personal attributes. There are dictatorial leaders, directing and commanding leaders, as well as, serving leaders. In description, servant-leadership is leadership, which is a way of being in relationship with others. It seeks to involve and incorporate the followers or employees at all levels in decision-making, strongly adhering to ethical and caring behavior, hence enhances the individual growth of all followers or workers and their performance in the work place.

Copyright by Richard Hooker, One cannot help and wonder what would have happened if Socrates had accepted the jury's forgiveness in exchange for giving up his beliefs. Even if they understood his fear in front of what appears to be the most frightful opponent of mankind, death, they would have never accepted his denying everything he believed in prior to his trial. His choosing the jury's clemency would have proven that life was worth living under any circumstances, in his point-of-view. Instead, he believed in the higher power that inspired him to accept death as a gift he proffered instead of living the rest of his life not being able to search for the truth anymore. Living in the prostrating state of ignorance and being satisfied with it was not eligible choice for the man who changed the philosophic system of thought and is still inspiring the minds of those who are thirsty for knowledge and eager to find guidance, even in a mentor that died over two and a half millennia ago.

You disturb the professor, the students, and the flow of the class when you walk in late. Enthusiasm is contagious. Profs respond and teach better to an alert, attentive, and interested class in just the way a band puts on a better show for an enthusiastic crowd. Be involved in class. Participate in class discussions and ask questions. If you have nothing to say, then show that you are interested and engaged by making eye contact with the professor. You would find it pretty boring if the prof never made eye contact with the class. In the same way, the prof will find you pretty boring, and assume you are not interested, if you never look up. Never slouch, chat, glare at the clock, or yawn. The professor is not your adversary. Work with him, not against him. You would not appreciate such posture or attitude if you were speaking at the front of the class. Think about it. Respect your classmates, and learn their names for class discussions. Respecting your classmates includes listening to their questions and comments. Never study for another exam or do work for another class. Never close your books or rustle your papers to signal the end of class. This is like looking at your watch when someone is talking to you—pretty rude. The prof knows what time it is, and will let you know when the class is over. Try not to look at the time during class. Do not walk out of class unless it is truly necessary. Do not walk out of class during an exam without asking permission, and do not even think of taking your phone to the bathroom during an exam. Listen as if the professor were speaking to you alone. Ultimately you alone are responsible for your understanding of the material. If you make an appointment, keep it. No one likes to be stood up. Profs put a great deal of time into preparing for class and also pursue an active scholarly research agenda. Profs are there for students first and foremost, but respect their time and interests. Whether by e-mail, phone, or in person, call your prof by name: Dr. Doolittle, Professor Plum, Mr. Clean, Ms. Demeanor, Ms. Information, whatever. Come to office hours with definite questions, concerns, or problems in mind. This is not your seventh grade science class; you cannot earn extra credit by making a volcano for the science fair. Just work extra hard on the remaining assignments. Better yet, just e-mail me! You are an adult. If you were not in class, the prof assumes you had a good reason. Hand in papers on time, and do not ask for extensions, except under the most extraordinary circumstances. Do not miss scheduled exams or quizzes except under the most extraordinary circumstances. Do not expect a make up or any special accommodations if you do miss. Cheating on exams and quizzes is frowned upon. Do not check your phone during an exam. Instead, answer in full sentences developed into coherent paragraphs.
