discussed at length in an attempt to provide an answer or to try explain other human experiences such as disasters. To explore this debate‚ I will look at a variety of different arguments. The Problem of Evil The argument from evil is the argument that if an omnibenevolent and omnipotent God were to exist‚ he would not condone the apparent suffering and evil that takes place.

Three Athenian philosophers flourished in Ancient Greece from 470 BC until 322 BC. They were Socrates‚ Plato‚ and Aristotle. These philosophers were famous for their "schools of thought." They questioned basic and widely accepted ideas. The works of these three men were the foundation for great western philosophy and still play a vital role in our evolution today. The lives they led influence the modern world greatly. The first of these three men is Socrates who lived from 470 BC until 399 BC.

that is a perfect example of the form itself. To anyone scanning through the forms they might not grasp the full concept Plato is trying to get across. However‚ if time is taken to examine Plato’s theory it can make sense. For Plato everything has a pure form. If you take any property of an object and separate it from the object itself‚ you are left contemplating a form.

was the biggest blast in the history of the universe as well as the creation of it. In only a second‚ gravity was created and the universe began to expand rapidly. The universe never sits still.

Following the creation of gravity‚ subatomic particles‚ such as protons and neutrons‚ were

The Significance of Art in The Republic of Plato Artist and philosophers alike have criticized The Republic of Plato as praising the justice of a censored society which‚ in reading The Republic as a philosophical treatise‚ is not surprising. Quotes abound in The Republic supporting this claim‚ such as “we must supervise the makers of tales; and if they make a fine tale‚ it must be approved‚ but if it’s not‚ it must be rejected. We’ll persuade nurses and mothers to tell the approved tales to their

101/ O.C #2-Machiavelli Though often presented as two ideological opposites‚ personally I find there to be a lot more similarities between Plato and Machiavelli than usually acknowledged. Obviously there are some sharp contrasts. If one examines the excerpts from Machiavelli’s “The Prince” and Plato’s “The Republic”‚ it’s easy to conclude that Plato believed it to be essential for a government leader to be just‚ good‚ and free from corruption. Whereas Machiavelli’s ideal ruler is less concerned

undoubtedly informed Plato’s ideas‚ but by the time Plato brings up the notion of a philosopher-king it’s thirty years after Socrates’ death and what the character Socrates says in the Republic is probably much more Plato than Socrates. This is also two hundred years after Confucius‚ so it may even be that the two are not quite so isolated from each other as they may seem. A couple interesting differences between the two become readily apparent. Plato thought that a true philosopher actually wouldn’t
