” illustrate his teachings on the self.
Plato
Example: Maria is unsure about her career path. She thinks about what she loves and what matters to
her, as Socrates suggested. Despite pressure to choose a well-paying job she doesn’tlike, Maria picks a
career that matches her interests and values. This shows Socrates’ idea of knowing yourselfand living true
to who you are.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher who argued that the self is imnmortal and independent of the
body, with the highest knowledge derived from contemplating the Form of the Good. Plato believed that
the self comprises three parts reason, spirit, and appetite Plato’s tripartite theory of the soul suggests
that harmony among these parts leads to a virtuous life and a just society.
Aristotle
Example: Jack is torn between studying for an important exam or playing video games. His mind says to
study, but his desires pull him to play. He listens to his mind and chooses to study. This shows Plato’s idea
that our soul has different parts: the rational part and the desire-driven part. In this case, Jack’s rational
part wins, showing how we balance our desires with what’s right.
Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. He was also a student of Plato for twenty yers
but is widely recognized for rejecting Plato’s Theory of Forms. Aristotle argued that the self or the human
person is a composite of body and soul.and that the twO are inseparable. Aristotle’s concept of self was
constructed in terms of hylomorphism. We cannot discuss the self with a soul only or a self with a body
only. Indeed, for Aristotle, the self is a unified creature.
01 Handout 1A
Example: Toby loves dancing. According to Aristotle, when Toby dances, his physical movements express
not just his skills (body) but also his emotions and passion (soul). This shows how his body and soul are
inseparable-they work together to convey his inner feelings and creativity through dance.
