PHI 1104 Lecture Notes - Averroes, Lucretius, Misogyny
Document Summary
What we are seeing is a debate between student and teacher. The gesture represented by plato pointing upwards because he is known as the author of the theory of forms : work of philosophy is to discover those. General themes= what you would consider being the soul would be corrupted by the embodiment (rational part of the soul). Rational part needs to out rule the other parts of the soul. In general, plato describes justice as: everyone performs their own rule and if they all do, that will contribute to the well being of the city. Three parts: working class class of craftsman, (people that do things) guardians (split into two), idea of justice is that of harmony, measure or ratio. Greek term=logos danger to the city is that it is not organized this way. Committing injustice is fun, having it done to you is not.
