Birth Death And Rebirth Bhagavad Gita
632 words
The Bhagavad-Gita is not an epic telling of the
rise and fall of rival powers, or of the great
actions of warriors. It is a spiritual book in
which, not only the truth about the inner Self of
man is revealed, but also the hidden motives, and
the way in which they may be transcended.
Bhagavad-Gita teaches how to obtain control of
mind and body. Human beings, according to
Bhagavad-Gita, live in an illusionary, dualistic
world. The world they perceive as real is
illusionary; it is full of material ...

Moral Judgments Religious Studies

In studying religion from an anthropological
perspective, we need to consider that all human
aspects of living -- biological, historical,
linguistic, or cultural -- must be correlated in
order to understand the human whole. To better
understand our humanness, we need to have a good
concept of culture that is considered as the
entire social heritage of man; specifically, it is
the tradition of a particular human group, a way
of living learned from, and shared by, the members
of that group. Every ...

Sexual Intercourse Homosexual Behavior

Plotinus: His Philosophical Critique In this paper
I will compare some of the ways in which sexual
orientation research is connected to its social
contexts. I will try to show how attempts to
explain the origins and manifestations of
homoerotic interests and behaviors can be viewed
by Plotinus and Nietzsche. Even if science
nowadays is fundamental in conceiving its projects
and priorities, for the greatest part of Western
history the origins of homoeroticism held no
scientific interest whatsoeve...

Titus Andronicus Revenge Tragedy
707 words
Titus Andronicus There is an opinion that
Shakespeare couldnt write Titus Andronicus. The
arguments against Shakespeare's authorship seem to
be not only esthetic. The person, who wrote this
tragedy, piled up plenty of murders and villainous
acts. The tragedy is full of grandiloquent
phrases, false pathos, clamorous and garish
recitation. Psychological motivation of the
characters actions is either primitive, or absent.
It is difficult to deny these facts. Titus
Andronicus indeed has nothing in c...

Handmaids Tale Handmaid Tale

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Human
beings are emotional creatures. Their feelings
steer them in one direction or the next, and
greatly determine who they are, and what they do.
It is the human environment that triggers these
feelings, and these feelings that in turn
influence the human environment. They can be
either positive or negative in nature, and are

Save The World Definition Of Justice

On Beauty in a State I once heard the comment
beauty can save the world. This struck me as
whimsical because I had always thought of beauty
as pleasing and enjoyable and thats about it. But
then I read Plato's Republic. His thoughts on
beauty gave me new things to consider. To Plato,
the presence of beauty in a state is the measure
of the most important qualities of the state,
primarily justice. In our day, beauty is often
synonymous with such words as loveliness,
attractiveness, charm, splendor...
