Human Nature As Competitive
457 wordsThomas Hobbes believes that humans are born equal. He means the bodies and minds of newborn people are of equal ability. One person sometimes becomes stronger in body or quicker in mind than another. When one becomes stronger in body, the person can claim he is better than another is.

Back And Forth Common Sense
620 wordsMy family and I often take vacations during the summer for relaxation, or to visit family, etcetera. On one such vacation, I learned a valuable lesson. Parents were created to teach their children little nuggets of common sense, but it is up to the children to listen. We were visiting the Central American country of Honduras. It was a bright, sunny, and hot summer day. Taking a break from sight seeing, and the heat, we took refuge in a tropical style restaurant for lunch. It was a two-story rest...

Middle Class Upper Class

So I now go directly to the worse things about living in the middle class as a youth. A middle class youth, in my opinion, is nothing more that a living lump of clay. They are easily molded by those that wish to control them, or they are able to mold themselves into the person they want to become... for better, or for worse. What I mean when I say, "Molded...

System Of Value One
1,266 wordsAgainst this we have an opposing tendency: 'Human kind cannot bear very much reality. ' I want to look at existentialism under two categories though it belongs with neither of them. It belongs properly, perhaps, in the field of religion, but it is to be met with in philosophy and psychology. Existentialism is both philosophy in a special sense and a valency. This doesn't quite coincide with theory and practice but it may be a helpful division into two parts. Wittgenstein remarked that the purpos...

Future Society B C
847 wordsSocrates wrote nothing himself. What we know of him comes from the writings of two of his closest friends, Xenophon and Plato. Although Xenophon (c. 430 -c. 354 B. C. ) did write four short portraits of Socrates, it is almost to Plato alone that we know anything of Socrates. Plato (c. 427 - 347 B. C. ) came from a family of ariston, served in the Peloponnesian War, and was perhaps Socrates' most famous student. He was twenty-eight years old when Socrates was put to death. At the age of forty, Pl...

5 Th Century Fifth Century
810 wordsThe political and social upheaval caused by the Persian Wars as well as continued strife between Athens and Sparta had at least one unintended consequence. In the 5 th century, a flood of new ideas poured into Athens. In general, these new ideas came as a result of an influx of Ionian thinkers into the Attic peninsula. Athens had become the intellectual and artistic center of the Greek world. Furthermore, by the mid- 5 th century, it had become more common for advanced thinkers to reject traditi...

Buddhism Using Socratic Reasoning
1,256 wordsBuddhism using Socratic Reasoning For my essay I have taken two different Buddhist notions: Karma and Nirvana. The proof of their difference lies in the fact that they belong to different, if not opposite, aspects in the philosophy of Buddhism. Karma is the notion that refers to the punishment for human actions, intentions or deeds and may occur in the short-term or long-term haul; whereas Nirvana is highly desired by buddhists, it is an award for pains-taking efforts, that can be described as a...
