He relies on experience and is too focused on senses. Plato says the senses are very unreliable.
Aristotle suggests that the morally weak are usually young persons who lack the habituation to virtue that brings the passions of the soul under the internal control of reason. According to Aristotle, like sleepy, mad or drunken persons who can “repeat geometrical demonstrations and verses of Empedocles,” and like an actor speaking their lines, “beginning students can reel off the words they have heard, but they do not yet know the subject” (NE 1147a19-21). A young person, therefore, can “repeat the formulae (of moral knowledge),” which they don‟t yet feel (NE 1147a23). Rather, in order to retain knowledge when in the grip of strong passions, Aristotle asserts that, “the subject must grow to be part of them, and that takes time” (NE 1147a22). Avoiding moral weakness, therefore, requires that we take moral knowledge into our souls and let it become part of our character. This internalization process the young have not had time to complete.
If moral weakness is characteristic of the young who have not yet taken moral knowledge into their souls, thereby allowing them to temporarily forget or lose their knowledge when overcome by desire in the act of moral weakness, it would seem that Aristotle‟s account of moral weakness does not in fact contradict Socrates‟ teaching that no one voluntarily does what they “know” to be wrong. Virtue does in fact seem to be knowledge, and, as Aristotle asserts, “we seem to be led to the conclusion which Socrates sought to establish. Moral weakness does not occur in the presence of knowledge in the strict sense”
The tone of the essay "A Modest Proposal" on a literal level is observant and objective. Throughout the essay, Swift shows the readers what he had observe of the poor people in an objective manner. Hence the observant and objective tone. In a satirical level, it denotes a pleading tone. Swift is proposing a solution to what he had observed and therefore pleaded with the people who can carry out his proposal.
The use of scientific methods in ancient Greek philosophy helped to inculcate reason and explore the basic principles behind the origin of matter and materials.
<u>Explanation

The Milesian school was revolutionary as it liberated the heavenly phenomena or the organization of the world.
The school gave importance to questioning the occurrence of the phenomena observable around rather than attributing it to God’s will.
Three philosopher’s comprised the Milesian school of thought: Thales, who was the founder, Anaximander and Anaximenes.
Thales’ questioning approach towards the heavenly phenomena in order to comprehend its occurrence is thought to have initiated Greek Astronomy. He brought the dawn of western enlightenment. He gave any theories to explain natural events.
Answer:
snows, freeze
Explanation:
Every time it <u>snows</u>, our water pipes <u>freeze</u>.
-> The last one does not make sense (it are snowing, pipes is freezing)
-> The second one is a bit better, but "are freezing" is present tense, while is snowing is also present tense, the sentence itself is talking about the past, hence why "snows" fits better
Have a nice day!
