Why would philosophers start questioning traditional beliefsat this particular time in Athenian history?
In class we briefly reviewed our notes of philosophy, Plato, & The Republic. Then we watched a few video clips about Plato's Republic. We continued our discussion of The Republic by taking notes along with a powerpoint & reading an excerpt in class. We used this primary source to classify qualities of a good leader. Then we asked, "What is Justice?" We discovered that the questions can only be answered by more questions.
We summarized the plot & symbolism used in Antigone. We paired up and compared each Antigone mask to a character in Plato's society.
- Which role of The Republic would your character fall into & why? (farmers/artisans, warriors, or rulers)
- What is a virtue or value your character would appeal to?
- Imagine a conversation about government between Socrates and your character. What would be the topics & ideas of the discussion?
- In a CSE, argue for the system of government Plato described or the ideas of justice described in Antigone. (Use 5-7-5 format for the CSE.)
