Meaning Of Thought Can Descartes be certain that he is thinking' How' Can he be certain that he exists' How' (And who is he') Descartes’ statement “I think therefore I exist” raises questions about the meaning of thought, the meaning of existence but most fundamentally, in what sense he can be certain.

Nietzsche: Apollo & Dionysus The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche argues that the ancient Greek deities Apollo and Dionysus are complements of each other in the conception of tragic art as well as the human experience. To the classical Greeks Apollo had numerous connotations – he was the sun god, or the god of light, as well as the god of all image-making energies and of prophecy. He was also

Free Will The idea of free will has been argued about by many philosophers. Do humans really have free will or are we just going through the motions of life. With the help of St. Thomas Aquinas, and my own thoughts I will try to explain my belief that humans do have free will. What is free will' Free will is the freedom to choose. Not being determined to act in a certain way. Free will

Hedonism Through out a person’s life, they will make billions of decision that affect them. But why do they make the decisions they do' I believe every decision made is in the pursuit of pleasure, or the avoidance of pain. In other words, the ultimate goal of life is to obtain pleasure or happiness and avoid pain and suffering. Humans spend their entire lives following this philosophy wh

Plato’s Republic - The Three Great Analogies Plato’s Republic - The Three Great Analogies The Allegory of the Cave, like most things in philosophy, can be interpreted in many different ways.

Mystical Pathways to the Governing Body of consciousness William James submits to us the notion that “personal religious experience has its root and centre in mystical states of consciousness. ” Stating that mystical states of consciousness must have the characteristics of ineffability, Noetic quality, transiency, and passivity , James ascribes four marks to mystical states of consciousn

The Stranger The Stranger For Camus, freedom arises in awareness of one’s life, the every-moment life, an intense glorious life that needs no redeeming, no regrets, no tears. Death is unjustifiable, absurd; it is but a reintegration into the cosmos for a "free" man. Until a person reaches this awareness, life, like death, is absurd, and indeed, generically, life remains absurd, though

I Believe Should We Really Be At War' “I believe it is essential that when we see a threat, we deal with those threats before they become imminent. It’s too late if they become imminent. It’s too late in this kind of war, so that’s why I made the decision I made.” A statement that was made by President Bush on NBC’s Meet the Press. “…So that’s why I made the decision I made” Presiden

Natural Philosophy What Is Real' Natural philosophy is the orderly investigation of the phenomena of the universe through the use of experimental observation and/or logical reasoning.

Confucianism And Taoism History has shown that a key element in determining whether or not a civilization was great keenly depended on the religious or better yet spiritual involvement of its people. With over three thousand years of history; China has used Confucianism and Taoism to foster its people to expand their consciousness as it relates to self and others. However, in order to un

Nietzsche And Connotation I think that Nietzsche is right in his generalization. His idea that everything has a connotation is fairly valid. Something cannot be just that, something. It must go beyond itself. It must have some relation to something else. To elaborate on this point, I’ll tell you about an experiment I conducted. I sat down my mother down and did a word association

Emerson Emerson Reflection Emerson has many themes that run through his writings. The one that I see as the strongest and most important is his focus on the individual. This has come up in all of our readings and was the main focus in a few as well, such as “The American Scholar,” “The Divinity School Address,” and “Self-Reliance.” In each of these, Emerson stresses the importance

Socratic Ignorance “All I know is that I know nothing.” Why does Socrates say this' Is he sincere' In The Apology Socrates proclaims to Meletus and the rest of his prosecutors at his trial for impiety that “If I do have any wisdom, great or small, I am quite unaware of it!”. This, at first glance, seems like a bizarre claim for reputedly the wisest man in Athens to be making, unti

True Equality In my opinion, total equality would diminish people’s own individual uniqueness. Causing the world to be at a standing point till the end of time; there would be no way to make any advances in any particular subject. With everyone being the same no one person could be classified with talent, extreme intellects, or great physical appearance. Which in turn could make the wor

A Discussion Of General Systems Theory The systems theory that was created by Ludwig von Bertalanffy in the 1930s is the best theory to which I have been exposed in this class. This theory presents the general idea that a system is made up of many parts, all with different functions. All parts of the system are interrelated and they work together in synergy. The parts alone cannot accomp

Hobbes Thomas Hobbes was a Realist who believed the purpose of the state was to protect the security of the state and to protect civil society from chaos and anarchy.
