Dualism is the philosophical position that states the nature of reality is divided into two distinct kinds of things. Which Pre-Socratic philosopher most clearly expresses this position?  We have thus far studied the poets Homer and Hesiod, and the philosophers Thales, Heraclitus, Democritus, and Parmenides. Select one of these philosophers and briefly explain why his work most strongly represents dualism.

Who were the Sophists? Explain what they taught and the philosophical outcome of their teaching that Socrates and Plato opposed. Explain your answer.

Discuss the development from the Pre-Socratic Worldview to the Platonic Worldview by comparing three essential characteristis in the Pre-Socratic Worldview with their companion three essential characteristis in the Platonic Worldview.  What type of change occurs from the Pre-Socratic Worldview to the Platonic Worldview? Remember that we are only concerned about two types of change between Worldviews in this course.
