PLATO. ARISTOTLE
Bodies=offshoot of mind. Flesh shapes human nature along with mind
Seek a happy medium between mind body
An exalted view of what. Humanity not that "transcendent"
Being "human" entails. "roughly coherent"<<>>"lost causes"
NOT a rejection of the body
A kind of dramatic grandeur.
To evil-rebellion against nature. A "medicalization" of evil
And god With possibility of some improvement
bOTH PLATO &ARISTOTLE do not think
People change much after childhood...
1) evil =metaphysical revolt. 1) evil=mundane mixture soul & body
2) high regard for human nature. 2) human nature sloppily put together
3) evil=potentially fixable. 3) evil= somehow "natural" can be
Improved but not fixed
HUMAN BEINGS ARE IN CONFLlCT with the
Ordering principles of the cosmos
