Answer 2

Plato talks of unexamined life, which is not worth living in his Philosophies.

Explanation:

• Plato says that unexamined life is mere waste.
• What he means by the term 'unexamined life' is the life that goes without any realisation.
• He talks of sublimity and nobility in one's self realisation.
• We humans are far better than animals, and so must use our sixth sense in developing ourselves to the supreme.
• We must know the purpose of living.
• 'Unexamined life' means living a life without any aim or thirst to become noble and sublime.
• We must not live a life for the sake of living. Hence Plato means that unexamined life need not be led.
