PHL 464 PHILOSOPHY MATRIX II: ANCIENT QUEST FOR TRUTH
For more course tutorials visit www.uoptutorial.com Use the matrix to analyze Plato and Aristotle’s theory of knowledge and apply both to current day practices. In the first column, using the readings about Plato’s search for truth and his theories of knowledge, discuss how contemporary people may be living in a cave and which steps, based on Plato’s model of the Divided Line, will be necessary for their enlightenment. In the next column, based on Aristotle’s science of the first philosophy, analyze how Aristotle’s metaphysics may guide contemporary people to knowledge about the world. In the final fields, evaluate how you use either or both of the methods in your own life and explain how Plato and Aristotle used pre-Socratic philosophy. Cite your sources consistent with APA guidelines

PHL 464 QUESTIONS
For more course tutorials visit www.uoptutorial.com How do mythology, history, and religious dogma at the beginning of Western philosophy correlate? What do the mythologies from the beginning of Western thought tell you about the mindset of the people who told and shared those stories? How does the belief in the gods of mythology differ from your belief system? How are they similar? This week, you learn about different ways of searching for knowledge or truth. Compare the types of inquiry the authors of the readings inside the textbooks describe? Which of those ways do you apply for your search of knowledge or truth? Compare the type of inquiry of the pre-Socratic philosophers from the Abel text to the type of knowledge you find in the excerpts from Homer, Hesiod, and Sophocles. How does the type of inquiry influence the answers you are given?
