Choose ONE to journal on:
1. Socrates believed in seeking an objective truth. Do
you believe there is a truth or rather many truths from many different
perspectives? If there are many truths, then how can we ever determine
guilt in a court of law? If there is an objective truth, then how can we
make sure it is valid and not just the most powerful person's opinion?
2. How can 21st century science be used to prove that Heraclitus or Parmenides were correct? Is it "cheating" in your opinion to use modern day science to evaluate the philosophies of the Ancient Greeks?
Write a minimum of a full paragraph to answer of the prompts
above. Don't just state your opinion - SUPPORT it. You are trying to make a
