Was Plato A Totalitarian?
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Plato's contributions to the contemporary political world are both grand and far-reaching; however, the manner by which he approached his own style of leadership has been considered significantly more totalitarian than democratic in nature. Indeed, the student who examines Plato's political stance as it relates to governing the masses, it will become quite clear that he not only supported and upheld the notion of totalitarianism, but he also demanded certain segregated activities to take place as a means by which to clearly demarcate the ruling class. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Was Socrates Guilty of the Crimes His Accusers Claimed?
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses Plato’s Socrates and whether or not he was guilty of the crimes of which he was accused. Socrates devoted his time, energy, and considerable intellect to the pursuit of truth and virtue. He did not give formal instruction after the fashion of other philosophers of his time. His method of educating was to involve others in conversation, seeking, chiefly by questions, to induce his contemporaries to think clearly and to act reasonably. He believed that he had received a call to pursue philosophy and could serve humanity best by devoting himself to teaching, and by persuading the Athenians to engage in self-examination and in tending to their souls. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
