The entire film takes place within a small New York City jury room, on "the hottest day of the year," as 12 men debate the fate of a young defendant charged with murdering his father. Most courtroom movies feel it necessary to end with a clear-cut verdict. But "12 Angry Men" never states whether the defendant is innocent or guilty if innocent then who is guilty.

The discourse of Socrates and Euthyphro In Euthyphro, Plato recites a conversation Socrates has with Euthyphro by “the Porch of the King” (Plato, 41). The Greek philosopher and his religious interlocutor Euthyphro mainly talk about the true meaning of piety, although it is less of a conversation and more of Socrates challenging Euthyphro, after the latter claimed that he knew everything about religious matters, and therefore piety. Socrates explains his need for Euthyphro to teach him by explaining

Epistemological reception (I): Xenophanes The first known philosophical author who uses Homeric examples in his epistemological theory is Xenophanes, a sharp critic of Homer’s and Hesiod’s anthropomorphic depiction of the world.

These traits are the reason why most modern scholars describe him as a kind

Exercising methodological individualism as opposed to methodological holism, Adam Smith employs his fundamental premise: every individual's choice is founded on their natural rational self-interest, to prove that the laws and functions of society are methodical, foreseeable, and governed by nature. Resting on this premise of natural rational self-interest, he foresees what actions individuals will take in a certain context to benefit themselves and employs this predictability as a method in determining

Innocence is a trait that disappears with experience; we are unable to earn it back once we have lost it. We often correspond innocence with the idea of adolescence and unknowing and experience with wisdom and maturity.

The Euthyphro is one of Plato’s classic dialogues. It is a well-verbalized piece which deals with the question of ethics, consisting of a conversation between Socrates and one other person who claims to be an expert in a certain field of ethics. It is additionally riddled with Socratic irony in which Socrates poses as the incognizant student hoping to learn from a supposed expert, when in fact he shows Euthyphro to be the nescient one who kens nothing about the subject being holiness.
