Junias explains how the knowledge of what is fearsome and what is encouraging is courage. While Socrates continues Nicaraguas’ line of thinking by introducing animals into the conversation‚ if courage depends on knowledge then animals such as lions are not smart enough to know‚ and even so few humans are able to understand. In response to Socrates and to Laches further questioning as to whether he believes animals that are commonly seen as courageous are wiser than us‚ or if he contradicts everyone

Like you said‚ kids these days just don’t take school seriously. When I was in school‚ I used to wonder what the purpose of some pointless classes were‚ and I couldn’t think of an answer. I believe that the teachers are the fault of our education problems. The teachers aren’t stimulating the students enough‚ and thus‚ kids these days just don’t possess the desire to learn. Also‚ teachers have to find a way to link the "pointless" classes to each child’s real life. If the teachers can’t‚ drop the

Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action Author- Simon Sinek There are few questions that are of interest to each and every human being. These questions intrigue us at least once in our lifetimes‚ many times in general. Even though they hold such importance we still do not know the answers to them‚ the Why’s‚ the How’s‚ what’s. The question here is success. And over a long period of time great minds have tried to give us varying definitions of success and how to obtain

In order to discuss Socrates notions‚ I would like to discuss two various points which consist of the significance and difference between an unexamined life and an examined life. As stated by Socrates‚ collectively‚ our unexamined lives create the ills of society. In other words‚ when one does things right‚ he would usually think that he reached the perfection; he would barely assume that his life is irreproachable and there is no need to correct or change the way it is. And this thought would make

today‚ I find that there are more similarities than differences between males and females. The majority is not by much‚ however when it comes to the way males and females communicated within their groups‚ there seems to be more similarities between the two. According to the average effect size found‚ approximately 85% of men and women overlap in their scores across the various psychological variables (pg. 10). The text in chapter 1 explains that men and women are more similar in the way we gossip. Gossip

We had several NGOs disturbing us by distributing pamphlets about conserving water. Aiming that crumpled pamphlet to the waste basket‚ I used to wonder “Why are they wasting paper in the name of saving water?” After hearing NGOs blaming the government‚ I had resigned to the notion that “water conservation” is an issue that the government should take care of. It looked like the world is conspiring to make me feel guilty of wasting water‚ when I saw posters everywhere in my office imploring me to save

Plato put to writing what Socrates’ view of the good life was throughout several of his dialogues. Much of what Socrates’ view of the necessary requirements for the good life correspond to what are necessary requirements for the good life in the modern‚ western world. However‚ the ancient Chinese philosopher‚ Chuang Tzu‚ would have various criticisms of Socrates. Yet‚ these criticisms would not so much be in the essence of the good life‚ but in the particulars. As demonstrated below‚ the essentials

Plato’s Republic features a disagreement between Socrates and Thrasymachus about the nature of justice. The disaccord between their views of the subject is extremely pronounced‚ but there are certain underlying agreements which guide the course of the debate. One way to evaluate the validity of the arguments involved is to examine whether the assumptions at the root of the argument are in accord with this common ground. By my reading of the dialogue‚ Socrates’ reply to the first part of Thrasymachus’

An Tran Professor Nathan Poage PHIL 1301 July 15‚ 2013 Apology: Is Socrates Guilty or Innocent? The Apology is Plato’s accurate depiction of the Socrates’ own defense at the trial provoked by Meletus. However‚ besides current accusers‚ Socrates has to speak out to defense against former accusers who have created prejudices of him for long time. Former accusers prosecute Socrates for “studying things in the sky and below the earth” and “[making] the worse into the stronger argument” (Plato 18b-c)
