Good and Evil in The Bible, The Oresteia, & Crito
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay examining the changing nature of the legislation of morality as seen in these three works. The paper points out that there is a humanistic progression from the Bible, which allowed the individual absolutely no self-determination at all in working out the details of his own moral stance; through the Oresteia, which suggested that an increasing reliance on self-determination would be worth trying; to the Crito, which advocates a complete reliance on one's own conscience in determining the correct moral action to be taken in a particular set of circumstances.

"Justice of the City" Plato - Book 4 of the Republic
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp). When we ask ourselves how Plato arrives at any decision it is easiest to understand that philosopher will lead us across the stream of our own lack of knowledge, stepping from one stone of definition to the next. Thus when we reach the "other side," or have picked up the knowledge, that we were seeking, we will wonder why we were ever distressed about crossing the stream, in the first place. This approach is used to lead us to understand that the qualities of the virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance and justice exist within the city and within ourselves.
