Question
What will happen to the human person if Plato’s Rational soul of his Tripartite soul will successfully lead both Appetitive and Spirited soul?*1 pointA. The human person will be justB. The human person will be virtuous.C. The human person will be Just and virtuousD. The human person will attain a well balanced personality
Solution
The answer is C. The human person will be Just and virtuous. According to Plato's Tripartite Theory of the Soul, the rational part of the soul seeks truth and is responsible for our philosophical inclinations; the spirited part of the soul seeks honor and is responsible for our feelings of anger and indignation; the appetitive part of the soul seeks physical pleasures, such as food, drink, and sex. If the rational part successfully leads both the spirited and appetitive parts, it means that the person has achieved a balance between their desire for truth, honor, and physical pleasure. This balance results in justice and virtue, as the person is not ruled by their base desires (appetitive) or their anger (spirited), but by reason and wisdom (rational).
