In this method, it used a question-and-answer format to lead pupils to see things for themselves by using their own reasons. Education has been affected by this because most teaches use this format to help students with studying. Another philosopher from Greek time is Plato. He was Socrates student and developed many philosophical ideas about political systems and reality. Plato decided that both, men and women, should have the same education and the pursuit of happiness.
the oral argument. He explains that both methods have different ways of communicating ideas to an audience, speech as the notable form in ancient Greece, where only philosophers were basically allowed an opinion on a subject. And writing as a new media where it can be directed to a certain audience instead of everybody and it can help lessen miscommunication. It does come across that Socrates prefers one, speech, over the other but regardless in today’s time written arguments is the more popular media. As stated above many of the rhetoric tools that we use today was also used back in Socrates time.
Just like this there are more issues that people should consider bad even if in the future god would say that it is good. People should think critically about their actions regardless of what a god would command. The other dialogue of Plato that we discussed was the book I, and II of The Republic. This books deals with the theme of justice. Plato concludes that there are four kinds of life.
Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus Response While there are multiple common ideas that are concurrent amongst the texts of Plato, Aristotle and Epictetus, there are four common themes that appear to recur in The Republic, The Nicomachean Ethics and the Handbook of Epictetus. The most prominent idea, as is expected within such a class, is happiness and how one should go about attaining it. Epictetus focuses on the avoidance of pain as a measure to find happiness. In his argument, he advises us to care not of things that are external to us – that is, things that we cannot directly control. In #10 he asks us to ask ourselves what capacity we have within ourselves to deal with a particular situation, “If hardship comes to you, find endurance,” (p14) so that we might not let outside influences affect our own happiness, and that our happiness can be created only by our own judgments, perceptions, decisions and actions.
He tried to influence people in order better them. He wanted to make people think in great depth and expand their knowledge. Roshwald wrote about Socrates current reputation, how it affected and brought up, Roshwald, also wanted to change how people thought of Socrates. He addressed contemporary college students and showed them what he valued in his life to make himself a better person. He used his great sense of knowledge and understanding to persuade the reader with clarity and ease throughout the paper.
Steve Burgoyne Socrates Socrates was not guilty of corrupting the youth. Being the wise intelligent man which he was he would simply teach the youth to look for new divinities in life by thinking for themselves. Most certainly is that not such a crime and Socrates, who was highly respected and looked up to by not only his students but also fellow Athenians did all one can possibly do to prove his innocence. Corruption of the youth of Athens was the main charge Socrates was being indicted on. It was a few men who belittled Socrates that conducted the charge on Socrates.
“Apology” February 20, 2013 As I read the Apology written by Plato I noticed that Socrates makes his defense in a question and answer type of structure. He is very wise as to asking the right questions. He tries to make Meletos answer his questions as it will prove Socrates defense later. Socrates tries to make Meletos contradict himself and therefore, the contradictions are his defense. For instance, Socrates asks “Do not the good do their neighbors well, and the bad do them evil?
Often as the Hero proceeds along his journey, they encounter different mentor figures along the way, which help them to succeed in whatever it may be that they are doing. Mentors can provide guidance in many different forms; the two most common in these two pieces of literature being the kind advice giver, and the stern one who wishes you to learn lessons for yourself. The kind advice giver in both The Alchemist and The Odyssey seemed to play the lesser role than any other mentors in the stories. King Melchizedek offered advice and guidance to Santiago early on in his journey, encouraging him to set out after his personal legend in the first place. “Learn to recognize omens, and follow them,” the old king had said.” (Pg 41, Coehlo) The

Plato may have lived back in the 5th century his writing is still read today. His writing about his life and Socrates. These reasons are the reasons that got me to believe that he should not have been sentenced to death, or even put on trial. The ways he showed respect for Athens, served in wars and how his teachings helped Athens even after he
