Plato (427-347 BCE) Ancient Greek philosopher, student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle. Please comment below on Plato's account of the psyche or soul.
Plato believes that there are two different realms, one being physical and the other being unphysical. The physical realm is constantly changing and is mortal. The unphysical realm is unchanging and eternal. He believes the body is part of the physical realm and the soul is part of the unphysical realm. I agree with Plato because our bodies are always going through changes for instance we can change our appearence at any time by gainning or losing weight or even cutting our hair or doing certain things to our face such as plastic surgery to keep us looking young but we are still the same person and unfortunetly one day our body will no longer be alive but I believe our soul is everlasting and stays the same.
According to Plato, there are two realms; The physical ( visible)realm and The other . The physical realm is constantly changing, imperfect, perishing , the realm of the body iand mortal, and 'the other realm' is unchanging, perfect, eternal, immortal and the realm of the soul. I totally agree with Plato's view because our body changes every day and we are getting old and will die one day , but I believe that our soul will remain in other life even thought we die.
I agreed with Plato’s beliefs to a certain extend. He believes that there are two realms; one realm is constantly changing and imperfect this is the realm of the physical body. And the other realm is unchanging, eternal and perfect where the soul relies. He claims that the souls and body are two separate entities. I agree with Plato to this extend, I believe that the body is a shell or skin for the soul. This where Plato and I differ, in Plato’s belief the soul is unchanging entitle but I believe that the body and soul rely in the same realm; the body and soul grows and evolve together.
I agree with plato's view of the soul. He illustrates his view of soul as chariot analogy. He divides soul in three parts. Reason, spirit/passion and appetite. He believed that you can have happiness only when reason controls passion and appetite. Drug addict cannot control his spirit, spirit is controlled by appetite
Caroline A. I agree 100% with Kristina N. and her point of view. She explains it perfectly and her examples give you a visual which always help me understand something better. Id give her an A on her blog.
