Essay Question:
How does Platos Socrates show Phaedrus and us his readers how anyone can deliberate/inquire successfully about any subject given what he observes about the complex nature of the soul?  For as Plato has us observe, the souls complex nature is based in the fact that its two ruling and guiding principles can take three distinctive forms. These forms are temperance (sophrosyne), wantonness (hubris), and mantic, rational sanity (what Charles Griswold calls a derivative form of temperance). What are these three distinctive forms of the soul? Why is it that only the temperate form of the soul secures the souls essence of self-motion/movement and the task of successful deliberation? Whats more, what is it about innate desire that is central to this question of successful deliberation as seen from the perspective of these three forms of the soul?

In Unfinished Lecture on Liberation II, Davis uses The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass to give an account of how the racialized slave system in the 19th century United States structured the positions of both slaves and masters with respect to freedom, understood to be an essential property of human beings. 

Briefly explain Daviss account of both positions as it relates to the concrete possibilities and requirements for realizing and expressing this freedom in each case? How and on what level does each party find their freedom constrained?  What possibilities exist for the removal or overcoming of those constraints?

2. In Women and Capitalism, Davis argues that the oppression of women is a social and historical phenomenon which takes different forms depending on other factors conditioning the social form of human productive activity.

.          This paper should be a philosophy paper but for some topics, factual and scientific information will be necessary.
