Nihilistic delusions, also known as délires de négation, are specific psychopathological entities characterized by the delusional belief of being dead, decomposed or annihilated, having lost one's own internal organs or even not existing entirely as a human being.

Nihilistic delusions can be observed in patients with certain mental health conditions. If a care provider questions the patient, he or she may often reveal no personal information. Patients who think they do not exist believe they have no names, ages, or parents, for example.

St. Augustine

He became a priest and bishop of Hippo.

His thought focuses on two realms:

God is the source of all reality and truth.

According to him, without God as the source of all the truth, man could never understand eternal truth.

The sinfulness of man.

According to St. Augustine, the cause of sin or evil is an act of man's freewill.

Moral goodness can only be achieved through the grace of God.

The role of Love

St. Augustine is in agreement with the Greeks that man searches for happiness.

He stated that real happiness can only in found in God.

Disordered love results when man loves the wrong things which he believed will gives him happiness. He explained:

Love of physical objects leads to greed.

Love for other people is not lasting and excessive love for them is jealousy.

Love for self leads to pride.

The Big Three Greek Philosopher

Socrates

Socrates believed that his mission in life is to seek the highest knowledge and convince others who were willing to seek this knowledge in him.

Socrates methods allowed him to question people's belief and ideas, exposing their misconceptions and get them to touch their souls.

According to Socrates:

Every man is dualistic. Composed of body and soul.

Two important of his personhood:

Body is imperfect and impermanent.

Soul is perfect and permanent.

A person can have a meaningful and happy life only if he becomes virtuous and knows the value of himself that can be achieving through constant soul-searching.

The touching of soul - TRUE SELF.

According to Socrates, True Self is not a body but a soul.

Virtuous is an inner beauty, and real beauty is that of the soul.

"The unexamined life is not worth living". - Socrates

Plato

Plato Metaphysics — philosophical study on the causes and nature of things. It is known as the "Theory of Forms".

Plato explained that FORMS refers to what is real. They are not object that can be encountered with senses but can only be grasped by intellectual.

Plato's Forms:

Forms are ageless and therefore eternal.

Forms are unchanging and therefore permanent.

Forms are unmoving and indivisible.

Plato's Dualism - the existence of two realms

The Realms of Shadow is composed of changing, sensible things which are lesser entities and therefore imperfect and flawed.

The realms of Forms is composed of eternal things which are permanent and perfect. It is the source of all reality and true knowledge.

Plato described the soul as having Three Components:

The Reason is rational and is the motivation for goodness And truth — thinking soul and intellectual soul.

The Spirited soul is non rational and is the will or the drive toward action. This the emotion and passion.

The Appetite/Appetitive soul are irrational and lean towards the desire for pleasures of the body. This is the basic needs.

Reason seeks the true goal of man which is to see things in true nature. The spirited and appetites/appetitive want worldly pleasures.

Plato believed that genuine happiness can only achieved by people who constantly make sure that their Reason is in control.

Aristotle

The student of Plato.

The body and soul are not separate but are one thing.

The soul is which the person a person. The soul is the essence of the soul.
