philosophy Final Paper

Order Description

Choose one of the following assignments for your final paper

The first assignment for the final paper

When we read Antigone we found two types of justice in the play: one type of justice represented by Antigone and the other by Creon. We have also encountered, and will encounter, even more types of justice in the three dialogues by Plato that we are reading in class – the Apology, Republic, and Symposium.
For your paper compare and contrast the types of justice presented in Antigone with Socrates’ understanding of justice and with the understandings of justice of two more characters in the assigned dialogues by Plato. You must use at least two of Plato’s dialogues that we have read for class.
In addition to comparing and contrasting the different types of justice, evaluate the different types of justice and argue which is the most just and which is the least just.
Required Texts:
Antigone
At least two of Plato’s dialogues (Apology, Republic, and Symposium)

The second assignment for the final paper

For your paper compare and contrast the understandings of love presented in Sophocles with the understandings of love in Plato’s Symposium (you have to present Diotima’s interpretation and an interpretation of any other character at the banquet).
Required Texts:
Antigone
Oedipus
Symposium

The third assignment for the final paper

For your paper explain Socrates’ understanding of the Good (What is it? What is its function? How one can participate in it?) using Plato’s Republic and Symposium. Compare Socrates’ understanding and search for the truth with Oedipus’. Demonstrate similarities and differences in their approaches to truth and knowledge. Can we say, examining their approaches, that the search for truth is a dangerous enterprise? If it is, do they face the same danger?
Required Texts:
Oedipus
Republic
Symposium
