Plato and Theatetus: Wax On-Wax Off
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In Theatetus (lines 188-196) ,Plato attempts
to explain how we can arrive at false decisions,
he labels these false thinking strategies as "false
judgments." But before we know, which judgments
are false, or faulty, we first need to know how we
determine whether things are true or not. It is
not that one bit of knowledge is impossible without
the other, but it is usually the style of Greek
philosophers to lead us, to answer our own
question, in a logical, and sequential manner.
Thus, before something is determined as false, we
will have to look at how we know that something
is true. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Plato v. Locke
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay/research paper that examines the differences between the political philosophies of Plato and John Locke. The writer argues that Locke saw the state as being a structure instituted among humanity to serve the people, and, therefore, he felt that it was an institution that the people could justifiable oppose when it went against their best interests. On the other hand, Plato would have undoubtedly argued that the "people," per se, did not possess sufficient knowledge upon which to base a legitimate opinion on the functioning of the state.
