Emily Dickinson Poetry Perception Of Death
1,098 words... 89 - 90). Dust is the only Secret, is a prime example of her utilization of personification, as seen in this excerpt: Dickinson's attribution of human qualities to death through simple adjectives as well as similes investigates the personality of death, which serves as an aid to understanding deaths true nature. Her description of death an industrious, laconic, punctual, and sedate being, and her characterization of death as bold, still, and as a builder help to express her view of the calm,...

Living Our Lives Write This Essay Simply
1,801 wordsIn Fear and Trembling I write this essay. Perhaps that is part of the point, that I not write this essay in comfort, in simple regurgitation of class discussion, or by simply rewording the notes I might have taken. From reading the two passages from Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, I found a profound similarity, which, at first I could not put into words. Simply struggling with what they could both mean. Is perhaps Nietzsche's poorest fisherman rowing with golden oars (pg 269) similar to Kierkegaard's...

Existence Of God Objective Reality
1,015 wordsThe existence of God has been a question since the idea of God was even conceived. Rene Descartes tries to prove God's existence, and to show that there is without a doubt something external to ones own existence. Descartes is looking for a definite certainty, a foundation for which he can base all of his beliefs and know that they are, indeed, true. Descartes' overall project is to find a definite certainty on which he can base all his knowledge and beliefs, including the existence of God. One ...

Jean Paul Sartre Circle Of Hell
792 wordsFrom folklore to fairy tales there is the use of violent action to convey a specific message to the readers because violence never occurs without having a point to be made. Violent scenes often are the most gruesome and horrific yet they can contribute to the entire meaning of a work. Violence in a story always has a hidden purpose, and is there to enhance the inner meaning of the story while offering an extremely graphic visual to its readers. In Dantes The Inferno and States No Exit, there are...

Big Bang Theory Miles Per Second
2,170 wordsBig Bang Cosmology Introduction to Big Bang Theory Einstein came up with The Big Bang Theory with the intention of creating a model of the universe in which both his General Theory of relativity worked and the rest of the universe still worked. He based his theory on a fairly uniform distribution of mass throughout the universe. His Big Bang Theory was able to fix the peculiar way that Mercury Orbited the Sun and it was able to fix the way the Sun bent light. These were the first problems that i...

Clear And Distinct Ideas Existence Of God
1,437 wordsSpinoza And Descartes Spinoza enjoys a widespread reputation as the modern philosopher who makes the most thorough going and principled attack on teleology. Unlike Descartes who faint heartedly limits his attack on final causation to the question of its usefulness in physics, Spinoza boldly pushes further, or so the story goes, and denies the legitimacy of all teleological explanation, even with respect to God. Spinoza rejects final causation in physics and theology, as well as he rejects teleol...

Cogito Ergo Sum God Must Exist
1,113 wordsHow can we know if we are a brain in a vat? Can we be sure that we are not the playthings of evil demons? These questions have been discussed by many philosophers in the past and still we do not have a proof that we are not some demon s plaything. Yet, at least two prominent philosophers, Ren Descartes and John Locke believed there are ways to prove that we are not brains in vats. At one point in his philosophy, Descartes reflected that perhaps God or some evil spirit was constantly tricking his...

Idea Of A Perfect Method Of Doubt
1,154 wordsOnce Descartes has realized that he can know with certainty that I exist is true, he continues to build on his foundation of truths. The truth about the nature of God, proof of Gods existence, and the nature of corporeal objects are considered, among others, after Descartes proves his existence. Descartes principal task in the Meditations was to devise a system that would bring him to the truth. He wanted to build a foundation from which all further philosophical inquiry could be built. It was e...

Formal Reality Objective Reality
1,646 wordsAt the Descartes Essay 1 At the beginning of Meditation three, Descartes has made substantial progress towards defeating skepticism. Using his methods of Doubt and Analysis he has systematically examined all his beliefs and set aside those which he could call into doubt until he reached three beliefs which he could not possibly doubt. First, that the evil genius seeking to deceive him could not deceive him into thinking that he did not exist when in fact he did exist. Second, that his essence is...

Lao Tzu Death Opposites
659 wordsHeidegger's Conceptual Essences: Being and the Nothing, Humanism, and Technology Being and the Nothing are the same. The ancient philosopher Lao-tzu believed that the world entertains no separations and that opposites do not actually exist. His grounding for this seemingly preposterous proposition lies in the fact that because alleged opposites depend on one another and their definitions rely on their differences, they cannot possibly exist without each other. Therefore, they are not actually op...

Nuclear Waste Half Life
977 wordsThe mathematical notion of infinity can be conceptualized in many different ways. First, as counting by hundreds for the rest of our lives, an endless quantity. It can also be thought of as digging a whole in hell for eternity, negative infinity. The concept I will explore, however, is infinitely smaller quantities, through radioactive decay Infinity is by definition an indefinitely large quantity. It is hard to grasp the magnitude of such an idea. When we examine infinity further by setting up ...

Chaos Theory Sickle Cell
1,215 wordsThe Fun Filled Fractal Phenomenon A fractal is a type of geometric figure. It is generated by starting with a very simple pattern such as a triangle and, through the application of many repeated rules, adding to the figure to make it more complicated. Often, an input will be entered into a recursive function and it will yield an output. This output is then inserted back into the function as an input and the process is repeated infinitely. Fractals often exhibit self-similarity. This means that e...

Cause And Effect Laws Of Physics
1,075 wordsOne of the most commonly pondered philosophical questions is the mystery of the universes origin. For countless centuries mankind has speculated as to how and why the universe as we know it came into existence. Unfortunately, in attempting to answer this question, we simply raise more questions; each as unanswerable as the last. For instance, in asking where the universe came from, many have applied the cosmological argument to arrive at the conclusion that God must have imposed His creative inf...

Hiv Aids Hiv Infection
3,090 wordsAs an outsider who shares many values with sincere and faithful Christians, I am troubled with the apparent lack of effectiveness of their most common approaches to the current HIV crisis. The Christian ultimate objective of saving souls is not universally shared, and arguments from that perspective will not be persuasive to a general audience. However, even if we were all to agree to that goal, the current Christian approaches are allowing far to many bodies and souls to be taken by HIV. The ap...

Soul Is Infinite Socrates And Plato Body
360 wordsNietzsche s thoughts on finite differed dramatically from Socrates and Plato. Nietzsche believes that everyone should embrace the finite because you will enhance this life and make it more beautiful. He rejects the theory that eternity is of more importance than the present life. To Nietzsche, pursuing what you love to do is the only way to excellence. But for Socrates and Plato, they believe that the body weighs down the soul. They say this because they believe that by succumbing to life s want...

Sun And Moon Gravitational Force
941 wordsThe tides at a given place in the Earths oceans occur about an hour later each day. Since the Moon passes overhead about an hour later each day, it was long suspected that the Moon was associated with tides. Newtons Law of Gravitation provided a quantitative understanding of that association. Differential Forces Consider a water molecule in the ocean. It is attracted gravitationally by the Earth, but it also experiences a much smaller gravitational attraction from the Moon (much smaller because ...
