what is the basic idelogical difference between two phliosopers, pluto and socrates?

Answer 1

Plato was originally looking for justice, but justice does not appear in the list of virtues. The answer is that justice applies to them all in the sense of their organization. Reason (and the philosophers) should be in control, with the help of spirit (and the warriors). The philosophers and the warriors are thus the "Guardians" of Plato's ideal state. This does not seem like a familiar sort of definition for justice, but the result, Plato says, is that each interest is satisfied to the proper extent, or, in society, everyone has what is theirs. The philosophers have the knowledge they want; the warriors have the honors they want; and the commoners have the goods and pleasures they want, in the proper moderation maintained by the philosophers and warriors. The root of all trouble, as far as Plato is concerned, is always unlimited desire.

Socrates was and is one of the most influential figures in the history of Western philosophy. Yet it remains an open question just what the real, historical Socrates stood for: he wrote nothing, and none even of our most ancient sources can probably be relied upon to give us anything like an accurate picture of his ideas and methods. As if to fill the gap, successive individual philosophers and philosophical traditions - from Plato to Nietzsche and beyond - construct a range of different Socrateses, to serve either as a model for emulation or as a target of attack. Nevertheless, the single most vivid picture of Socrates is that provided by Plato, who was his immediate philosophical successor, and who gave the character 'Socrates' the leading role in the majority of his fictional dialogues.

In the latter parts of the fifth century and the early fourth century, everyone would evidently have known who he was, and this is quite a striking fact, given the size of Athens (a city with a total population of perhaps more than a quarter of a million), and given also that for the most part he appears resolutely to have taken no part in political life, except insofar as would have been necessary for any Athenian citizen. The explanation of his notoriety probably lies in the combination of his extraordinary appearance and high public visibility: to judge from the stories about him, he was always out and about, in the public spaces of the agora, the streets and the gymnasia, talking to anyone he came across. Talking was his favourite activity. He seems to have become emblematic of that troublesome class of people so rare in this country but quite well-known in other parts of Europe and the world: intellectuals; and that no doubt has something to do with the fact that he ended his life tried, condemned, and executed, in a democratic court, on a charge of impiety.

Answer 2

Pluto was Mickey Mouse's dog. Do you mean Plato? Plato was the student of Socrates. I would think a discussion of the differences between Socrates and Aristotle would be more intersting.

Answer 3

I think that you mean Plato. Pluto is Mickey Mouse's dog, or a planet, or the Greek word for death. Anyway, we only know of Socrates through Plato, so any difference between the two would be pure conjecture.

Answer 4

Pluto is a Disney dog, and a dwarf planet. (used to be a planet, but started mouthing off and sh*t) Socrates was the inventor of dialogus. That's where he walked around Athens annoying the f*ck out of people by asking them about themselves then getting them to make contradictory statements.

That is unless Plato, who claimed to be his student, made him up, which is entirely possible. Plato seems to use him as a deposatory for all of his own disgarded ideas. He never agrees with him, but shows him a great deal of respect, so in all likelihood, he was an invention of Plato used to present his own self-disproven ideas through a pseudo-identity.

That is unless both were made up by an unamed philosopher, which is even more likely.

Answer 5

Pluto is a planet and Socrates was the teacher of PLATO. (You must have been very anxious to place this question!)
Socrates said: "Know thyself"!
It was the sum total of all his philosophy!
He strove to never answer a question...he answered with a question! Plato was his poetic student. Socrates never wrote a thing that we know of.
If it were not for Plato and his writings, we would not have known of Socrates.
When the government sentenced Socrates to die, he gladly took poison in front of his students rather than give in to the government. he was a teacher and a man of very strong principles!
Plato is the one who described ATLANTIS to us.
Know Thyself! Is it all really there? Do you have all the answers inside?

Answer 6

Everything we know about Socrates and his teachings we lear from Plato. His only appearance in history is as a character in one of Plato's plays. In that play, he bravely supports the philosophies of Plato, and when oppossed by the people of Athens chooses to kill him by drinking poinson rather then denounce his (and Plato's) beliefs.

It is uncertain where Socrates was a real person, or merely a fictional character invented by Plato.

Answer 7

Pluto is a planet, Socrates was a man. Pluto has more intelligent design than Socrates, but perhaps he was close I don't know much about him.
