    PLATO'S SELF REFLECTION-Understanding The Self

    Uploaded by

    MARIA ELLAH LUBAT
    The document describes three incidents from the author's life relating to Plato's three dimensions of character - reason, appetite, and spirit. The first incident involved a vigorous conflict between reason telling the author their fasting diet was excessive, while appetite and insecurity drove them to continue. It was resolved by stopping constant weighing and self-criticism. The second saw reason prevail over passion and appetite in choosing electrical engineering over architecture due to practical family concerns. Wisdom was gained from making the reasoned choice. The third saw the dimensions work productively together through the author's art commissions and contests, which allowed productive work while enjoying the arts and learning lessons for the future.
