Socrates’ Position on Truth and the “Examined Life”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page paper discussing Plato’s position on the contemplative life. It is reasonable that Plato should have Socrates equating truth with morality. If living the examined life is characterized as a moral action, then it also can be equated as truth. In turn, this serves to distinguish humans from other animals not capable of living the examined life or pursuing truth. For Socrates, living the examined life defines the state of being human.

Socrates/An Imaginary Dialogue
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that takes the form of an imaginary dialogue between Socrates and Senator Jesse Helms, who recently retired from public life and was a staunch foe of the National Endowment for the Arts during the 1990s because he did not consider that what the NEA funded was "art." In 1997, Helms argued that National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funds should not go to artists who produce "objectionable or blasphemous art." This dialogue presumes that Helms and Socrates meet in the after life. Socrates, who loved to bait people, such as Helms, with entrenched positions, would be aware of Helms' stance toward art and undoubtedly address this within the larger topic of what constitutes beauty. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Many debates have been waged over the essence of life and the meaning of existence.

Socrates was a firm believer in the notion of knowledge and enlightenment, contending that those who seek anything less than an examined life are, in effect, living a wasted life. Whether he utilized literature, visual arts, the quest for happiness or a whole host of other examples for his argument, Socrates' assertion formed the basis upon which the philosopher composed the fundamental elements of his life theories, inasmuch as he believed with all his heart that mankind cannot possibly be happy without perpetually challenging himself and his surrounding environment.
