error is, and why he thinks Descartes is "in
error"? How do Descartes and Damasio differ as to

Human Sciences (Derrida, 1978: 278 293) may be
read as the document of an event, although Derrida
actually commences the essay with a reservation
regarding the word event, as it entails a meaning
which it is precisely the function of structural
or structuralist thought to reduce or suspect
(278). This, I infer, refers to the emphasis
within structuralist discourse on the synchronous
analysis of systems and relations within them, as

Are Human Rights Universal
1,561 words
The notion that human rights are universal stems
from the philosophical view that human rights are
inextricably linked to the preservation of human
dignity. This means that respect for individual

Huckleberry Finn Huck Doesnt

Huckleberry Finn A Racist Novel? There is a major
argument among literary critics whether
Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, is or is not a
racist novel. The question boils down to the
depiction of Jim, the black slave, and to the way
he is treated by Huck and other characters. The
use of the word nigger is also a point raised by
some critics, who feel that Twain uses the word
too much and too loosely. Mark Twain never
presents Jim in a negative light. He does not show
Jim as a drunkard, as a mean...
