Imagine you were born in the time of Socrates in 470 B.C.E
Socrates and many other very wise philosophers had different and sometimes untrue ideas about psychology.
If you would not have any scientific proof, and you did not have this knowledge about the things that are true and untrue about psychology, how would you answer these following questions and why?
- Are mind and body related, why do you think so?
- Do you think nature shapes us more than nurture?
- Are ideas inborn or are you born with a blank slate?
Question to ponder about: Socrates and Plato both believed that their mind continues existing after their death. Why do you think did they believe so, and don’t we have a similar belief with our soul? What does this mean?
