According To Socrates Things Come From There Opposites. The Living From The Dead.how Can I Argue Against This?
August 31, 2009
HOW CAN I SUM THIS ALL UP? If things come from their opposites then everything that exsist must have an opposite. How can a soul have an opposite?The soul comes from the dead (cycle between Earth and underworld 70c), and to show this, Socrates demonstrates that all things come from their opposite
smaller from larger (he says yes) and there are then two processes, the increasing and the decreasing –> therefore if there are two opposites they come from each other (he proves this by giving lots of examples)
since dead is the opposite of alive, therefore, they come from each other and the souls of the dead must be somewhere such that they can return
also, if everything that were to die were not to be immortal and return, eventually everything would be dead
Objection: The lecture addressed some objections to the argument, namely that alive/dead are not necessarily opposites (a rock is not alive, but we wouldn’t call it dead), and that something can become alive from having been not alive, but not necessarily dead (i.e., could come from the void). assuming that this theory of recollection is correct, it necessarily implies that our souls exist somewhere before we do
further twist to this argument: when you see two sticks that want to be equal but aren’t quite, clearly you cannot derive from them the idea of Equality but rather you must have prior knowledge of the form of the Equal–>must have that knowledge prior to realizing that all objects strive and fail to be Equal
Socrates says (76b) we must have this knowledge from before we were born –> either we recollect it in life or know it all along, but we don’t first acquire it in life
He is here an anti-empiricist, because this argument from recollection only works if one assumes we cannot learn from perception
Moreover, the soul not only exists before birth but continues to exist after life (see also the response to Cebes, below)
soul will be scattered if it is composite
two sorts of existence, visible and invisible–>invisible remains the same, visible doesn’t and the soul is invisible, the body visible
soul resembles the divine in that it rules the body
well–prepared soul is pure and leaves with no bodily accoutrements and so is divine and invisible and not composite (81b)
no one joins the gods except he who lead a philosophically pure life
the soul is therefore immortal because it shares in the properties of the eternal forms, namely, it is divine, invisible, incomposite, and invariable
philosopher must keep his soul from believing that things which cause passionate feelings are true (83c)
pleasure/pain are likes nails riveting the body and soul together
Objections
Simmias counters: is body:harp::soul:harmony, going with the visible/invisible dichotomy, then the soul will be destroyed with the body, as the harmony is destroyed with the harp (86a)
Cebes counters: body is like a cloak in that the soul wears out many of them but might perish before the last body perishes (old man who dies before his cloak is worn out has still worn out many cloaks over the course of his life)–>soul damaged by association with body.

Whats The Purpose Of Life Is Science/math The Key And Entertainment Is For Relaxation?
August 30, 2009
Been thinking about lately today. Ive been struggling on the math problem that I was unable to crack the key to. Maybe life was like that to anwser things, and find things as we can understand much of it before we die. Just, maybe science/math is the key, to try to break the code to understand where everything is heading and learn from the past also.
Just why are we here, we going to die like 5 billion years, whats the purpose? Maybe you guys could anwser this

What Is The Best Way To Learn This Poem Off By Heart Before Tuesday?
August 30, 2009
Okay, so I got this poem yesterday and we need to say it in front of the whole class without reading it. This is the poem:
Dark in the wood the shadows stir:
What do you see?-
Mist and moonlight, star and cloud,
Hunchback shapes that creep and crowd
From tree to tree.
Dark in the wood a thin wind calls:
What do you hear?-
Frond and fern and clutching grass,
Snigger at you as you pass,
Whispering fear.
Dark in the wood a river flows:
What does it hide?-
Otter, water-rat, old tin can,
Bones of fish and bones of man
Drift in its tide.
Dark in the wood the owlets shriek:
What do they cry?-
Choose between the wood and the river;
Who comes here is lost forever,
And must die!
Okay, so with this poem we have to have a minimum of 2 things to enhance the recitation. And I think I want to turn all the lights out and have a touch shine on my face while i say this, but I need something else as well.
Thank you in advance.

August 30, 2009
it had evan rachel wood in it and uma thruman. i thought it was an amazing movie and very intense, but at the end when you find out that diana (evan rachel wood) is the one that actually died, i became extremely confused because she had a family and was looking back on the memories of her friend maureen who throughout the movie, i thought she had been the one that died
