speeches to the citizens by Brutus and Antony. The speeches were contrary to each other. Brutus speech was to calm them down and explain why Julius was killed (he used logos and ethos).

Shakespeare‚ Cassius successfully persuades Brutus to join an alliance against Caesar by using claims and logos‚ pathos‚ and ethos arguments. Cassius’s effective persuasion begins with the building of Brutus’s ego of honor. He does this so Brutus will feel an obligation to keep Rome honorable.

Cassius is reminding Brutus that he recognizes the great honor

In “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare‚ Brutus is able to sway the people to believe that Caesar’s assassination was for their own good by using a single analogy. However‚ Antony is able to confront that belief right after Brutus’ speech‚ swaying the Roman citizens to trust him rather than Brutus.

He strongly believes in doing all that he could for his country‚ Rome‚ and the Roman citizens. Brutus starts having conflicting feelings about Caesar’s plan for the country. He is not in favor

Are material objects clusters of ideas before the mind? The question concerning the reality of material objects relates to the theory of idealism. Holding the opinion that material objects are just collections of ideas is heavily critical of indirect realism and seeks to disprove this ideology. Theorised by Berkeley‚ idealism holds that objects are to be perceived and if they are not experienced then they do not exist. There are many arguments‚ both in support and against Berkeley’s theory‚ such

Realism Realists believe that reality exists independent of the human mind. The ultimate reality is the world of physical objects. The focus is on the body/objects. Truth is objective-what can be observed. Aristotle‚ a student of Plato who broke with his mentor’s idealist philosophy‚ is called the father of both Realism and the scientific method.
