The individuals that were guards had to act as real prison guards and the individuals that were prisoners had act as real prisoners.

refutes the Aristotelian theory of real essences, presenting instead a theory of nominal essences. Through investigation primarily in Book III and partially in Book IV, I will explain his criticism of the Aristotelian (Scholastic) view as well as his own theory, detailing the key differences and implications his claims make towards our understanding of the essence of substances. A major distinction is that Locke believes we cannot have real knowledge of real essences, namely, the underlying internal

movie simulates what happened in real life. In the book there was 4 major females but in the movie there is 3 vital characters.

Additionally in the movie they had also very historically accurate things such as in the movie they played real clips from that time. In the

There was a depiction of the real or reality in both Leo Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilych” and Henry James’s “The Real Thing”.

In Book VII of the Republic, Socrates sets forth the idea that a real astronomer would not be concerned with the motions of the stars. This comes at a time in the dialogue being played out in the Republic in which the education of the guardians (especially those who will be the philosopher-kings) is in question. The foundational elements of this education have already been discussed, these being the subjects of music and poetry and rigorous physical training. However, the question remains what other

listing things that are genuine “elephants pushing”, (13) “a wild horse taking a roll”, (13) “the baseball fan” (15-16) all of these ideas being things that are for genuine people. “One must make a distinction however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the result is not poetry,” (19-22) In these lines Moore shows how she feels about the way poetry has come over the years.
