Description

1. Both the Symposium and Plato’s Republic lay out a vision for the role of philosopher’s and philosophy in society. Analyze the role of the philosopher in these two texts. Do they overlap in any serious ways or are they distinctly different? Both texts locate the philosopher within a broader context. What are these contexts and how do they connect with philosophy in both contexts?

2. Aristotle’s notion of ethics in the Nichomachean Ethics seems to directly conflict with Plato’s ethical ideas as they are presented in the Republic. How do the two men view the nature of ethics? How do their understandings differ and what kinds of arguments to they make to support their positions?

3.The Hellenistic world that developed after the death of Alexander was a world full of change and innovation, of new ideas and beliefs entering into the Greek world. Focusing on two of the philosophical schools of the period (stoicism, skepticism, cynicism, epicureanism), compare the approach of the two systems to dealing with life’s uncertainties. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of these schools?

Greece Ancient Philosophers
Question Two
Ethics in ancient Greek philosopher are widely discussed by many philosophers. Some of the
two main contributors include Aristotle and Plato. The two critically discussed ethics and their
contributions are still relevant to modern day ethics. Most of the ethical theories that are used
today emanate from the studies that they conducted on ethical behavior that ought to be upheld
by people. Apart from discussing ethics, they also contributed to other disciplines and fields such
as sociology, science, and politics. Plato’s version of ethics is described in the Republic whereas
Aristotle’s ethics are described in the Nichomachean ethics. Nichomachean Ethics describes the
best way that may live. This is through questioning the question that was asked by Socrates.
The link between the two philosophers can be viewed through assessing their theories
and perceptions towards ethics. Plato was inspired by Socrates and thereby his view of ethics
was based on the belief that knowledge is a virtue. This means that when an individual knows
what is best, they are most likely to act ethically. On the other hand, when one is unaware of
such knowledge, they may be more likely to act unethically and do wrong. When one does good
to others is seen as a virtue, it automatically means that doing good could be taught to people by
providing such knowledge to them. On the other hand, Aristotle begged to differ. He asserted
that knowing what is right and what is wrong was not enough to compel individuals in the
society to do what was considered to be right.
