  • Epic Of Gilgamesh Gilgamesh And Enkidu
    1,169 words
    Socrates view of death in the Phaedo, Crito, and Apology is complex. His argument tries to prove that philosophers, of all people, are in the best state to die or will be in the best state after life because of the life they lead. Socrates views are sharply contrasted in The Epic of Gilgamesh. In fact, he would probably say that Gilgamesh had not lived the proper kind of life and his views of life, and death would lead to an unsettled existence in the afterlife. Socrates view of death, from his ...

  • Ideal State Three Parts
    1,197 words
    Even after thousands of years Plato and Socrates teachings are as valid in today communities as it was in their times. Plato left us a blueprint etch in stone in becoming an idealistic human being and righteous community. Through Crito, Apology, and the Republic, Plato reveals that even though the unjust ideals may be enticing it will bring a just happiness. In book VII of The Republic, Socrates speaks with Glaucon about the analogy of "The Cave." This analogy represents humanity as being ignora...

  • Ideal Society Society Based
    1,883 words
    Critics of The Republic, Plato's contribution to the history of political theory, have formed two distinct opinions on the reasoning behind the work. The first group believes that The Republic is truly a model for a political society, while the other strongly objects to that, stating it as being far too fantastic for any society to operate successfully by these suggested methods. In an exchange between Crito and Dionysius, this argument is first introduced, with Crito siding with those who agree...

  • Face His Death Stay In Athens Socrates
    860 words
    There are many instances in Plato's the Crito where Socrates gives reasons for himself to stay in Athens and face his death. Arguments range from that of him being too old to run, to the common response two wrongs don't make a right. The reason I intend to argue against is one Socrates expresses in regards to his obligations to the city he has lived in all his life, and thus the rules that he has subsequently followed throughout that time. In Athens just like any other city, one follows the rule...

  • Civil Disobedience Real World
    512 words
    Having read both Crito and Civil Disobedience there are several conspicuous similarities as well as notable differences. Both of these documents deal with the government and how the people should view it. However, in Crito, Socrates is more devoted to the government and would uphold its decisions even if it cost him his life. Thoreau on the other hand believes that the government is not always right and it is up to the people to criticize it so that it can be improved. Both of these essays were ...

  • Philosophy Analysis Of The Apology By Socrates
    1,125 words
    In The Apology, Socrates talks positively about an instance in which he committed an act of civil disobedience, but in The Crito he argues that civil disobedience is not an acceptable option. These two claims are irreconcilable. Although Socrates claims that civil disobedience is never alright, he insists he would practice philosophy even if it were against Athens law. Although Socrates gives himself an out when he says that one must either accept the law or argue that its unjust, I do not think...

  • Order To Save Socrates Believed
    1,398 words
    In Plato's dialogues, Euthyphro, Apology and Crito, Socrates demonstrates his belief that the most important thing is not life, but the good life (Crito 48 b). Socrates believed that a good life is equivalent to one that is just and honorable. The good life is also one where the beliefs and morals of a person are not put aside in order to save ones own life and wealth should not be desired. The true purpose of philosophy is not to give answers to questions but to raise more questions to the answ...

    ... the typical feature of aristocracy only. Maybe when Plato wrote his Crito the process of the classical polity decay had gone far away and the appeals to come back were some kind of utopia. According to it a conclusion could be made that Plato did not promote aristocracy but admitted the end of unified classic polity. Further explanation of the origin of state gave Italian scholar Nicolo Machiavelli (1469 1527). In his treatise The Prince Machiavelli tries to explain the origin of states. Fro...

  • Deserting His Children Pleads With Socrates Crito
    784 words
    1. Crito's Arguments The arguments of Crito are centred and clear. He uses simple persuasion to try and convince Socrates to escape. His arguments push the idea that Socrates should attempt escape for the sake of others, namely his children, friends and the many. Crito points out that other men would have no hesitation in escaping, despite their age. This is dismissed when Socrates states that someone who has lived so long should rejoice in the fact that they have had such a full life. Some of t...

    In Plato's Phaedo, Socrates is explaining to his friends that the acquiring knowledge comes from a recollection of things from a previous life. Socrates uses this as a way to comfort his friends. Based on this, according to Socrates, if a human being can learn anything, they must have known something about what it is they are learning about.
