Knowledge versus Myth: The Greek Philosophers
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Discusses work by Aristotle, Socrates and Plato and their thoughts on the worthiness of knowledge and logic as opposed to the beliefs associated with myth or superstition. The great philosophers of ancient Greece were very steeped in the science defining the world. They found no place for the unknown, that is, the belief in those things that could not be seen, felt or proven by scientific means. Today’s beliefs in things unseen would seem foolish in their eyes. Not content to blindly believe in that which he could not prove, Aristotle was considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time. We know that Aristotle was a great proponent of science and he believed all things could be explained with a scientific idea. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Meno: A Discussion of Virtue
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The Meno is comprised of a discussion between Socrates and Menon regarding virtue and in particular whether or not virtue can be taught. The dialogue takes place between Menon, Socrates, a slave of Menon, and Anytos. It is generally agreed upon that virtue is knowledge, and being such, that knowledge can be taught. Virtue, then, should be able to be taught. But even this brings about a perplexing argument. If virtue is indeed knowledge, and knowledge therefore can be taught, that would mean that there would be both teachers and learners of virtue. This is a compelling look at an intriguing philosophical question. Bibliography lists one source.
