Jefferson, Poetry, and Dialogue: A Look into the Influence Behind Jefferson’s Writing of “A Dialogue Between My Head and My Heart” During the earlier stages of my research, I danced around with many topics, all surrounding Thomas Jefferson and poetry. I thought to write about several scrapbooks of his that have been shelved at U.VA’s library for decades. I thought it would be an intriguing topic, when I discovered that a professor at DePaul University, Jonathan Gross, published the collection

Throughout the third dialogue Weirob makes several arguments regarding the effect of a brain transplant and it being considered survival. The first argument is that by taking her brain and placing it into another individual’s body, she would be a different person. She believes that the person’s body is actually the one who is living with delusions of being Weirob. This person would only appear to remember events in Weirob’s past, having possibly been hypnotized to create such an effect. Her second

In the Platonic dialogue "The Crito." Socrates' friend for which the dialogue is named, hatches a plan to help him escape from jail, and his impending death. However, Socrates not only refuses the offer but also argues that it would be immoral for him to not follow through with the court's decision even at the cost of his life. The reasoning as to why Socrates ultimately decides that he does not have the ethical grounds to disobey the court's orders is illustrated through a theoretical discussion

In the Melian Dialogue, there is a proposal that is brought to the Melians and presented by the Athenians but the proposal is understood to be a non-negotiable set of two options. Regardless of what the Athenians choose, their decision will ultimately lead them into losing something; their freedom or their city in ruins.

The dialogue begins with Philo and Demea speaking about what attracts people to religion. Philo says, that the only method for bringing everyone to a sense of religion is by just representations of the misery and wickedness of men. Philo also believes that it is the imagery of this misery and wickedness surrounding mankind that draws them even closer to religion than that of reasoning and argument. Demea adds, that the miseries of life, the unhappiness of man, the general corruptions of our nature

Plato’s elenctic dialogues are often distinguished by their negative endings; discussions regarding moral subject matters reach no definite conclusion. Nonetheless, due to the importance of these dialogues within the Platonic corpus, it is reasonable to suppose that Plato was trying to portray some positive teachings despite the moral aporiai. The purpose of this paper is to argue that, in Book One of Plato’s Republic (“RI”), Plato indirectly suggests that justice cannot strictly be an art (techne)

In the dialogue Euthyphro, Plato introduces the reader to the interlocutor Euthyphro, a dogmatically religious man who claimed to have great knowledge of the gods. Euthyphro used his understanding of pious and impious as an excuse to indict his father on murder charges. Socrates was interested in Euthyphro’s unshakable religious convictions but by using the Socratic method the reader slowly learns that Euthyphro has not truly delved into himself and examined his strong held beliefs. Plato holds Euthyphro
