Aristotle & Plato on Art
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the attitudes of Plato and Aristotle toward art. The writer argues that while they both made the fundamental assumption that art is a form of mimesis, the imitative function that is inherent in all forms of art provoked Plato's disdain, but provoked Aristotle's curiosity. An examination of their views demonstrates that Aristotle carried his philosophy of art beyond the concepts put forth by Plato. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Aristotle and John Stuart Mill -- Concepts of Justice
[ send me this paper ]
This 6
page report discusses ideas of justice as perceived by the
classical philosopher Aristotle and John Stuart Mill. According
to Aristotle, the human soul is made up of rational and
non-rational elements. In comparison, John Stuart Mill did not
model his understanding of character on any factors other than
his own belief that a person�s (male or female) character
develops and is forged by his or her response to society. That
response is what then empowers the individual to make the
necessary changes within as well as related to fundamental
societal parameters. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Aristotle and Plato on Citizenship
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the views of these two philosophers on what constitutes citizenship in the society and who is eligible for being considered to be a true citizen. In essence, Aristotle settled on two classes: the privileged and those who served them. Those who served had no true right to determine their own destinies at all. Aristotle's true citizen could be defined as one who in reality contributed little or nothing to the society aside from the grace of his presence and existence. Plato took a much more practical view of citizenship and the need for the participation of all individuals in at least some aspect of the larger society. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Aristotle and the Good Stuff
[ send me this paper ]
(7 pp) One of the things, that seems to happen
whenever we think of philosophy, is this perverse
mental block that flings itself into the air,
calling something similar to, "Danger! Will
Robinson. Danger! Danger!" Many of us get stuck
there - take the warning and run the opposite
direction. Take a deep breath, tell yourself,
that thinking is not harmful to your heath and
give this Greek guy a chance. This discussion
will focus on some of the "good stuff:" the ideas
of reason, virtue, and happiness as defined by
Aristotle.
