in him to feel the justice of the penalty can be
punished; the other can only be hurt. '; This is a
very interesting quote, and depending what you
make of it, it can be very confusing. To most
people this quote might not mean anything, but you

quote can relate to a persons personality, it also

Killing His Father Choices We Make

Is Man Free or Determined? Suppose that every
event or action has a sufficient cause, which
brings that event about. Today, in our scientific
age, this sounds like a reasonable assumption.
After all, can you imagine someone seriously
claiming that when it rains, or when a plane
crashes, or when a business succeeds, there might
be no cause for it? Surely, human behavior is
caused. It doesnt just happen for any reason at
all. The types of human behavior for which people
are held morally accountabl...

between characters, and how they are depicted in
each of the writings. The interpretation of a hero

It is impossible for me to say whether or not I
agree completely with Ian Hacking's work, not
having read Kuhn's work, Foucaults work or even
Hacking's work in its entirety, however by
examining Hacking's claims individually, it may be
possible to draw conclusions through the analy

prevalent claim seems to be that we make up people
in a stronger sense than we make up the world. By
proving this, hacking is attempting to show why
Kuhn was unsuccessful in...

course, these first attempts fell short of being
scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and
snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these
ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the
more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus,
excavation of the external world began. As the
authoritarianism of the ancients gave way to the
more liberal v...

Letter. One tends to wonder why Pearl is the way
she is. Why does she act so strangely and so
differently than all the other characters? She
acts this way because of a relationship she has
with the force of Nature, which Hawthorne
personifies as sympathetic towards sins against
the puritan way of life. Because of this trait
Hester's sin causes Nature to accept Pearl.
Finally, Pearls acceptance of Nature is wh...
