... most no limits, although his theology seems
to. I do not think it idle to speculate that the
recent "Death-of-God" theology may have forced
modern man to look elsewhere, especially to the
heavens, for a new God. That we should externalize
a quality so deeply rooted in man's nature is not
at all surprising and one need not accept Marshall
McLuhan's ingenious speculations to see that quite
logically man uses his interior world with its
enormous powers to try and locate what he has

... es, that it attaches us; thus Durkheim denied
that it was a true social link, and repeated his
argument that all such links derived from likeness
have progressively weakened. If society itself is
to survive, therefore, there must be some other
"true social link" which replaces it, and this, of
course, is organic solidarity, the product of the
division of labor. But if the way in which men are
linked together has thus evolved from mechanical
to organic solidarity, there should be parallel

Soul And Body Efficient Cause
1,042 words
In De Anima, Aristotle makes extensive use of
technical terminology introduced and explained
elsewhere in his writings. He claims, for example,
using vocabulary derived from his physical and
metaphysical theories, that the soul is a "first
actuality of a natural organic body" (De Anima ii
1, 412 b 5 - 6), that it is a "substance as form
of a natural body which has life in potentiality"
(De Anima ii 1, 412 a 20 - 1) and, similarly, that
it "is a first actuality of a natural body which
has life in...

Dorothy Van Ghent And Tristram Shandy Primary Purposes
1,791 words
The uniqueness of Tristram Shandy has pushed
critics to see many different topics as the
central concern of the work. It may even be an
impossible task to pinpoint which of two seemingly
contradictory themes Tristram is pursuing, because
Tristram does not give us much of a beginning,
middle, or end, preferring to stream along in
digressive contentment. However, as Jean-Jacques
Mayoux writes, it may be possible to transcend
subjectivity by seeking coherence. In other words,
by examining a theory ...

Freud was trying to be a conformist and avoid
opprobrium. In my view Sulloway does not succeed.
At the end of his book there is a section called
'Catalogue of Major Freud Myths'. That is probably
where the term paranoia crept into my sense of his
approach, since about twenty-three of the myths

Nature Of God Natural Theology

Hume I was from the beginning scandalized, I must
own, with this resemblance between the Deity and
human creatures. Philo David Hume wrote much about
the subject of religion, much of it negative. In
this paper we shall attempt to follow Humes
arguments against Deism as Someone knowable from
the wake He allegedly makes as He passes. This
kind of Deism he lays to rest. Then, digging
deeper, we shall try our hand at a critique of his
critique of religion, of resurrecting a natural
belief in God. Fi...

believes knowledge is the combination of a true
opinion and a rational opinion. Strangely enough,

which organisms interpret and organize sensation
to produce a meaningful experience of the world.
