Document Summary
Two reasons: weakness, life is punishment so committing suicide says that you"re avoiding punishment, socrates second argument: human beings are the property and possession of gods, as human beings we belong to god. Cole"s paradox: human beings (hb) are the property of the gods, the gods are the best masters, only stupid people would escape, philosophers want to escape, therefore philosophers are stupid. Is life for the philosopher is training for death and dying, then it is exactly like training to separate the soul from the body. Forms: triangles versus triangularity, plato"s says no forms for hair, dirt or fingernail clipping, because they are raw material that is unformed, particulars are empirical enhanciation (?) of forms. If it isn"t, it isn"t: zeno"s paradox, change is impossible, motion is impossible in spite of what the senses tell your, motion is impossible.
