Duty And Reason As The Ultimate Principle Kant
1,385 words
Duty 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...

the last of which was written in 1606 and titled

face the powers and decide: should he succumb or
should he resist? Macbeth understands the reasons
for resisting...

I have a friend named Elizabeth Smith who went to
the University of Illinois - Chicago. She did not
have to work because her parents paid for her
school and all her expenses. All she had to worry
about was studying and doing her homework.
Nevertheless, instead of using the time wisely,
she would always procrastinate doing her
schoolwork by saying that there is enough time to
do it later. Moreover, almost every afternoon she
watched television and talked on the phone with

Macbeth Speech Vs Robert Frost Out Poem
516 words
An unknown author once wrote Never take life too
seriously; after all, no one gets out of it alive.
When reading this quote, there can almost be an
immediate connection between two very good works
of writing: Macbeth's Tomorrow and Tomorrow and
Tomorrow speech from Shakespeare's tragedy,
Macbeth, and the poem Out, Out -- by Robert Frost.
Both allude to the idea that a single life, in its
totality, denotes nothing, and eventually,
everyones candle of life is blown out. However,

Symbolism And Imagery In A Midsummer Night Dream
1,286 words
In A Midsummer Nights Dream, William Shakespeare
brilliantly uses the night as a motif which plays
a valuable role in the play. He combines this
motif with the related symbols of the play to
demonstrate the power of night and its correlation
with love and vision. He uses symbolism and
imagery to develop the motif and makes extensive
use of the night forest which, in part, helps the
situation of the four young lovers, one of the
main plots of the play. It might seem strange that
Shakespeare would...

Sun Will Rise Cause And Effect

The goal of any philosopher is to find what can
only be referred to as truth. Truth is the
undeniable, that which can be relied upon in any
circumstances, obviously the one thing in life
that has real meaning. Unfortunately, truth is
quite elusive, as philosophers have been going at
the question since Socrates, and no one has
produced a definitive answer yet. In the course of
my years of reading about the subject, I have
accepted only a few concepts as being valid, and I
would like to share them...
