Q8. The statement is true because Socrates thinks he was wiser than him, because the man had no

Q9. False

Q10. The statement is false because Young saw the human essence in societal structure and the

Q11. Plato considered the Math so special because according to his stance, those who want to learn

the idea for knowledge of good its necessary to study Math, because this knowledge is not sensible

rather it is intelligible knowledge which human mind can perceive or interpret. According to Plato

the knowledge of Math, gave someone the ability to apprehend things quickly, because as

mentioned earlier perception of Math is visible to us. The knowledge of Math is visible to human
in the shape of real objects, so the knowledge of Math is true knowledge according to Plato based

upon intelligible realm.

Q12. According to Socrates philosophy, the meaning of ‘essence’ depicts human knowledge that

is based upon ability to critical evaluate real things and to protract new ideas based upon arguments

between individuals , Socrates called it method of elenchus. The use of essence in Plato’s

philosophy can be termed as the idea of true things which exists in terms of real forms. Considering

Sartre philosophy, he wrote in his book, “Existence precedes Essence”, which means that existence

of human beings is superior to essence, because human develop their own identity and status and

essence of things is not important. Young use the word essence to define societal behavior towards

women and how such essence of society didn’t let them to reach their true potential.

Q13. According to Sartre, humans are radically free but he also states that we depends upon others

for freedom, it could mean the freedom of society as whole because one can feel sense of freedom

by becoming aware of himself and his consciousness, but the overall freedom of thinking and

perception can only be achieved when all the people thinks they are radically free. Because we are

greatly influenced by others in reshaping our ideas and perception. So, it could mean the freedom

at an individual level and to society as whole. Also, Sartre mentioned an individual is radically

free and he didn’t mention the freedom of individual with others. So, we depend upon other for

freedom which is freedom of society as a whole.

Q14. According to Young, behaviors such as in which girls are taught to ‘throw it like a girl’ are

rooted in the situation because women are never given acceptance to do manly tasks by the sexist

and patriarchal society, which bound the women to do only those gender rules which are approved

by the society. The situation is oppressive because women are never given the space like men are
given by the society, and when girls grow up in such society they accept the fact that their body is

fragile and they can never achieve those things or do tasks which are supposed to be done by man.

Q15.

Each philosopher has different viewpoint regarding ‘caring for truth’ and they have defined truth

from different perspective. Each one has derive their philosophies to explain what truth actually

is. In Socrates and Plato’s philosophies the caring of truth is defined as the knowledge which can

be considered as true or false, depending upon the philosophies. According to Socrates truth is not

what you show or claim, rather than what your character embody and show through your character

throughout your life. Socrates provided his method of Elenchus to reach to the truth. The sophists

have different perception about the truth opposite to Plato and Socrates, they believed that truth is

which someone perceive is right according to his own belief. Because truth can appear different to

different people, and to gain truth we should accept only those things which seems true at that

specific situation. Plato’s philosophy defines truth as which our body and mind can perceive and

which is clear to us. According to him, truth is important because it can only leads man to real or

true knowledge. Plato laid stress upon the knowledge of math to attain truth. Aquinas defines truth

from the perspective of God’s existence, because as the existence of God is self evident, the truth

is also self evident, the truth is divine and it didn’t require any validation. Sartre defines truth

according to the concept of human freedom that all men are free, and human seeks freedom to

keep their actions true. In addition, everyone should care about truth because this is the only way

they can become conscious of their selves and gain the freedom. Young defines truth as the fact

one which women are made impossible to attain through societal structure. According to her

philosophy, truth is that women can do the tasks supposed to be done men, but the sexist society

never reveal this truth to women that she can achieve what she wants. She believes that if women
are given enough confidence then they can embrace this truth that they can do anything, which

men can do.
