State Of Nature Morally Acceptable
1,880 wordsEthics, July 1999 v 109 i 4 p 739 Justification and Legitimacy ( ). (philosophy of the state) A. John Simmons. Abstract: Different arguments are needed to show that a state is justified and that it is legitimate. Justifying the state is associated with the treatises of 18 th-century philosophers.

Negative Reinforcement Positive Reinforcement
715 wordsChildren raised in a single-parent home are not necessarily more prone to be social misfits (those who have behavioral problems and perform acts deemed as unacceptable by society) than children raised in a two-parent home. First, I gave an operational definition to the term "social misfits" which is ambiguous and could be interpreted in many ways by different people. Also, in making this statement, I examined the evidence. Personal experience and observation of other children raised in single-pa...

Ethics Part I Proposition 33
747 wordsBaruch Spinoza believes the essence of God includes God's existence and discusses the causality of God through his ontological work, Ethics. In Ethics, Spinoza is seeking a method of truth through the perfect being. The essence of what that perfect being expresses, using this method of truth, is God (i. e. the perfect being). In this essay I am going to give a detailed account of Part I, Proposition 33 of Spinoza's book Ethics. Part I, Proposition 33 of Ethics states that "things could not have ...

Isnt Necessarily Evil Killed Her Husband Person
747 wordsDoes being a criminal necessarily mean a person is evil? This is an interesting question, in which there are many different opinions. This is not a straight yes or no answer. To have a debate on an issue like this we should first define the word evil. The dictionary defines evil as being: Morally reprehensible, sinful, wicked (Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary). People who say that a criminal isnt necessarily evil might be thinking like this: If a poor person went into a store and stole foo...

Mind And Body Clear And Distinct
1,868 wordsPhilosophy Rene Descartes was an advocate of Dualism, which is a philosophy that states that the world is made up of two elemental categories that are incompatible, such as mind and body, which always exist separately.

The Meditations are divided into six separate sections that focus on different parts of Descartes argument. The first Meditation f...

Clear And Distinct Ideas Existence Of God
1,437 wordsSpinoza And Descartes Spinoza enjoys a widespread reputation as the modern philosopher who makes the most thorough going and principled attack on teleology. Unlike Descartes who faint heartedly limits his attack on final causation to the question of its usefulness in physics, Spinoza boldly pushes further, or so the story goes, and denies the legitimacy of all teleological explanation, even with respect to God. Spinoza rejects final causation in physics and theology, as well as he rejects teleol...

Ethical Egoism Psychological Egoism
1,868 wordsIn ethics egoism entails that the individual self is either the motivating moral force and is, or should, be the end of moral action.

Mind And Body Piece Of Wax
2,266 wordsDescartes overall objective in the Meditations is to question knowledge. To explore such issues as the existence of God and the separation of mind and body, it was important for him to distinguish what we can know as truth. He believed that reason as opposed to experience was the source for discovering what is of absolute certainty. The first meditation acts as a foundation for all those that follow. Here Descartes discerns between mere opinion and strict absolute certainty. To make this conside...

God Does Not Exist Concept Of God
1,718 wordsFor being accustomed in all other things to make a distinction between existence and essence, I easily persuade myself that existence may perhaps be separated from the essence of God, and thus God might be conceived as not existent actually.

If this be denied, conceive, if possible, that God does not exist: then his essence does not involve existe...

Meaning Of Life Prime Mover
2,841 wordsLogic and the Meaning of Life In approaching the meaning of life we have to examine the nature of meaning itself. Meaning is by definition the point, or the intended goal. Consider the point of humans and the universe as seen from monotheistic religion. If life and the universe is some sort of toy or form of entertainment for some prime mover, his point, his own entertainment, would then be the meaning of humans and the universe. Consider the goals of the deities of various cultures. Some strive...

Lack Of Understanding King Lear
2,059 wordsTheological Consequences in King Lear Shakespeare's King Lear is not primarily a theological text. It contains no direct references to Christ, and its characters are not overtly religious, except perhaps in a strictly pagan sense. King Lear is, however, a play that seeks out the meaning of life, a play that attempts to come to terms with lifes pain; or, rather, plummets the reader into such a storm of chaos and meaninglessness that any preconceived meaningful assumptions must necessarily be chal...
