... mere thrill of the theft and sin was more desirable than the fruit which they stole. The fruit was sought as an opportunity to be deceitful and to gain self enjoyment from it. Augustine, however realizes that the theft that he committed for the enjoyment of the sin of the crime was indeed unlawful. He thinks of why couldn’t he have received enjoyment by committing a more lawful act. In Augustines Confessions (II,6) He states: “ O rottenness! O monstrous life and deepest death! Could a thing give pleasure which could not be done lawfully, and which was done for no other reason because it was unlawful?” This shows th ...

Balance is a main word in discussing Aristotle because he believes it is the necessary element to creating a stable government. His less metaphysical approach to politics makes Aristotle more in tune with the modern world, yet he is far from modern. Plato's concept of what politics and government should be is a direct result of his belief in the theory of forms. The theory of forms basically states that there is a higher "form" for everything that exists in the world. Each material thing is simply a representation of the real thing ...
