Have you ever read about Aristotle?

The time of Aristotle, was a time were the people start questioning their selfs, so they get many questions, and they wait for an answer. He talk about the reason, he say that we are humans because we are capable of reasoning. Aristotle also talk a lot about soul, ethics, and moral. He has a theory about the soul, that says: the soul is something immaterial, independent of the body and capable of surviving its death, it needs always the body to work, the soul needs the body to express to transmit psychic functions.
He get a modern way to look the society and to understand the humans.

Is the Soul a product of body fuctions?? O.o?


In the actuality, when we talk about soul, we talk about something that is inside us, something that keeps us alive, and that is our identity. Most of the times this word "soul" is used in religious terms.

In the time of Aristotle the soul was something immaterial, something that was capable of surviving body's dead, it represents what we are. Aristotle say that the body was only a way to transmit the things that soul make us a person, things as thought, reason, emotions, breath. He says that things like emotions, feelings and stuff like that can only happen in an embodied body, that soul can not work without the help of a body.

So we can say that our body and soul are so important for us, because the one needs the other to function, and we need these two to life. And we can say that soul isn’t a product of body functions, but the body can be a product of soul functions, because soul acts through the body.

PlatO and the CavE...


Plato was one of the diciple of Socrates. He made Socrates knowledge famous, he made it well known because he wrote everything Socrates said. Plato was very influenced by Socrates revolutionary ideas about society, life,etc. This create interest and an obsession in Plato, and after the dead of Socrates, Plato starts to writing about Socrates live, his thoughts.

Plato decide to continue with Socrates ideas. Plato start talking about reality, he do this with the story of the cave, this idea is about the truth of reality, that says that some people after they go outside the cave, enter again and try to convince the others that the world is different, that is beautiful, but nobody believe him, and they say that they din't want changes because they produce fear in people.

Plato is very important for all of us, because his ideas were very interesting and they transcend along the time, they persist and influence us in the society and in the types of thought.
I thing that Plato became a famous philosopher because he change many things in the world only with his different types of thought that influence all the world.

SocrateS...


Socrates was a old ugly men, he was born in Athens, that was the most important city in that moment.
in that time all people wants perfection, and because of that Socrates was not accepted. so he start thinking in philosophy, because he loves knowledge, and he say that the beauty the really beauty is in the soul, in the way you are, no in your physical structure.
Socrates was a very intelligent men, and a master of argumentation. He can argument everything. So the people start believing him.
in this time there were the sophist, that were people that use to teach people but they were charged. So Socrates was against this because he say that wisdom should not be charged, because knowledge is something you have to love, and us you love knowledge, you didn't have to pay for that. and he start giving classes in the streets, and teaching without charging.
He also talks about societies, and he say that societies are not perfect because they are not organized in the right way. and also he talks about us, about humans, and he say that we are what we are, because we can reason that we have to understand happiness and ethics so latter we can talk about it...
there was many people against Socrates, and they accuse him of things like perverting childs , and say things that are not true. They forced him to committed suicide.
Socrates was very imporatan because he teach a lot, and he make people start to take interest in what is around them... so in my opinion he was very importan in that times and in this times.
