Benjamin Franklin Youngest Son
1,678 wordsFranklin's memoirs, his Autobiography, project a Benjamin Franklin who is a highly self-conscious individual able to reason himself into a life of self-control, self-improvement, virtue, and multifaceted success. To what successful ends does this Franklin apply himself? Some may argue that Franklin takes no action but that which ultimately benefits himself. This paper argues, however, that the Franklin we see in the Autobiography-as author, as boy, and as young man-is not merely self-serving (in...

Freedom Through Irrationality Ability To Be Rational Duty
971 wordsI believe rationality is incorrectly dictated by society. Generally when one is irrational he or she is contradicting the "normal" or what everyone is programmed to do. Kant says "Can you also will that your maxim should become a universal law. " 1 In part I agree to the theory of universal law where "rational" is judged by universality or what everyone should do. In fact we know that primitive societies were not built on rationality. I believe that we are intrinsically rational and irrational. ...

Law Deposited In His Nature Liberty Of Free Choice
1,825 wordsMacbeth is presented as a mature man of definitely established character, successful in certain fields of activity and enjoying a greedy reputation. We must not conclude, there, that all his violations and actions are predictable; Macbeth's character, like any other man's at a given moment, is what is being made out of likelihood plus environment, and no one, not even Macbeth himself, can know all his inordinate self-love whose actions are discovered to be-and no doubt have been for a long time-...

Duty And Reason As The Ultimate Principle Kant
1,385 wordsDuty and Reason as the Ultimate Principle: Kant Kant claims that only actions from duty have moral worth. In other words, actions from motives other than duty deserve no positive moral evaluation. I like and agree with Kant's view because I believe that a good will makes a good person. I also believe we have all been put on this earth to do our duty. We should do our duty just for duty alone; we should not be concerned about anything else. I will begin by discussing Kant's distinction between wh...

Mister Francis H Belief Of Being In Control Happy
846 wordsNot many people are happy, but all the libraries are filled with books on happiness, and this very fact should make us curious. The Ancients gave us dozens of recipes on how to conduct a happy life, each of them contradicting the other, or at least, with very dissimilar opinions. The Modernity has its own solutions up to the negation of the very possibility of having a happy life. And recently, mister Francis H. came up with his own idea of happiness. He argues that the problem of happiness can ...

Heaven And Hell Son Of God
1,314 wordsThere are many substantial and vital distinctions between Judaism and Christianity. Of course there are many similarities, primarily because Christianity emerged from Judaism. However, the emergence was not a direct line. Christianity broke from Judaism, forming a new religion, so it is misleading, however comfortable the thought might be, to believe that the two religions are essentially the same, or to see Christianity as the natural continuation of Judaism. Judaism's central belief is that th...

Sexually Transmitted Diseases Pre Marital Sex
1,226 wordsHomosexuality is an extremely controversial subject, not just within the Church, but also within all of society. The Church states that homosexuality is only wrong when individuals act upon it. Since sex is only for procreation, and two people of the same sex cannot procreate, then for them to have sexual relations would be sinful. In todays media, homosexuality as well as free sex are both highly glorified. Many morals have been lost, but we, not only as Christians but also as moral individuals...

Human Beings Subject Matter
691 wordsKant starts off making two distinctions regarding kinds of knowledge, empirical / rational and formal / material . Empirical or experience-based knowledge is compared with rational knowledge, which is independent of experience. This distinction between empirical and rational knowledge rests on a difference in sources of evidence used to support the two different kinds of knowledge. Formal is compared with material knowledge. Formal knowledge has no specific subject matter; it is about the genera...

Man In His Primitive Human Nature Golding
370 wordsThe debate over man being inherently good or evil is a debate which has raged since the beginning of time. Rousseau and William Golding do not shy away from taking a stance on the subject. But while Rousseau believes nothing can be more gentle than man in his primitive state, Golding's believes quite the opposite. In his novel, The Lord of the Flies, Golding attempts to prove his hypothesis by showing the behavior of a group of boys stranded on an island. Golding's characters allow their true hu...

Follow Without Question Return That Love Simon
983 wordsMercury Rising and Robert Benne Concepts from Ordinary Saints I believe this paper explains just how much Bennes points are represented in everyday life. In just one movie you can see many of his beliefs about life and ethics illustrated. In the following paragraphs I have chosen a number of them and made connections to what I saw in the movie. Robert Benne writes in chapter 2, in A Return at Depth how we are not in control of our own destiny. We mistakenly think we make are own lives. But as we...

Rotation Period Wide Open
2,643 wordsSaturn is the outermost planet of the planets known in ancient times. The earliest known observations of Saturn, by the Babylonians, can be reliably dated to the mid- 7 th century BC, but it was probably noticed much earlier, since Saturn tends to shine brighter than most stars. To the naked eye it appears yellowish. The Greeks named it after Cronus, the original ruler of Olympus, who in Roman is the god Saturn. Saturn is the 6 th planet in order distance from the sun. It cannot approach the pla...
