Kurtz Last Words Good Or Evil
2,018 words
... the terms 'enemy' and 'criminals' to the
natives. In actuality, they are simply "bewildered
and helpless victims... and moribund shadows"
(Berthoud. 46). Clearly, the injustice done by the
simple misnaming of someone is unbelievable. After
witnessing all of these names which bare no true
meaning, as well as possibly degrade a person's
character, Marlow understands that he can not
continue in his former ways of mindlessly giving
random names to something in fear of diminishing
the essence of ...

Thrown into the world, and condemned from freedom.
(web). Existentialists believe that every action
they make they will have some kind of action
returned. (web). Therefore, the person must be
accountable without excuse. (web). Existentialism
is not its own philosophy but a vast world in
itself. A world filled with many philosophies
sharing many of the same traits. Existentialism is
the world of existence. Existentialists believe
that a personality will develop best if left
alone. Existence consi...

... (alleged) human characteristics onto the
divine being. In fact, will is only a mode, not an
attribute of substance. In Part II, Spinoza
maintains that there is nothing more to will than
individual acts of volition. Thus will is not a
"faculty" of God (and this holds for "intellect"
as well). It might be objected that without
choice, God is not free. Because they follow
necessarily from God's essence, things cannot be
otherwise than what they are, and this is a
limitation of God's power. Spin...

Third World Countries Corporate Culture

Research Paper (1) The concept of consumerism
emerged after the end of WWII, when Western
civilization began to change its essence, while
becoming affected by post-modernity. After the
war, United States was able to boost the
effectiveness of its economy by increasing
citizens buying power. This was being done with
the mean of continuous monetary emissions, which
in their turn, increased the demand for various
commercial goods. People were having more extra
money, which they were willing to spen...

Tao Te Ching People In Western
2,165 words
The Tao The Taoism can hardly be referred to as
religion, in the classical sense of this word.
This is because it is being largely based not on
faith, but on philosophical rationale, which is
the reason why Taoism appeals to people who have
their sense of logic, as the cornerstone, upon
which their mental activity is based. The book Tao
Te Ching, which was allegedly written by Lao Tsu,
emphasizes the principle of Wu-wei as such that
should define peoples existential mode. The

Laws Of Nature Good And Evil

Final Paper (1) Friedrich Nietzsche is being
rightly referred to as one of the most progressive
philosophers of 19 th century. He was the first
thinker of high social standing, who had courage
to publicly oppose Christian obscurity, as such
that is counter-productive, in evolutionary sense
of this word. Therefore, we can say that his
intellectual contribution to cultural and
scientific progress, with which we associate 20 th
century, was indispensable. It will not be an

Human Resources Management Narrow Mindedness

Paper (1) It is virtually impossible to name any
type of human activity, where principle of
leadership does not play an important role, as the
main organizing factor. The effectiveness of any
teamwork is directly related to managers ability
to have a complete comprehension of how
organizational goal can be accomplished.
Therefore, the concept of leadership is best
defined as an ability of individual to make
effective executive decisions, within a context of
managing group of people. Traditionall...

Meditations On First Philosophy Cartesian Dualism

Meditations by Descartes The main feature of
European philosophical thought is that it never
loses its actuality, regardless of whether it
promotes the idea of thing of itself or denies
objectivity to anything that doesnt have a direct
relation to our sensory perception of the world.
One of the best examples to this is philosophy of
Rene Descartes, which shows us that ones ability
to operate with abstract categories accounts as
the most important factor, when it comes to

Essay Concerning Human Understanding Material Substance
1,285 words
Of Identity and Diversity In XVIII century the
phenomena of consciousness was put on the place of
soul. These were the phenomenon which the person
actually observes, finds in "himself", turning to
his "internal sincere activity ." These are ideas,
desires, feelings, memoirs, known to everyone by
personal experience. John Locke is considered to
be the founder of such understanding who stated,
that, as against soul, the phenomenon of
consciousness is not something assumed, but
actually given. In 1...

God Does Not Exist Choices We Make

Sartre Sartre, which we place among atheists,
stress that central concern of philosophy is human
existence. He says that human being is a special
kind of consciousness (being-for- itself).
Everything else is matter (being-in-itself). He
believes that human being has no God-given essence
and is absolutely free and absolutely responsible.
According to him, anguish is the result of the
absolute freedom and responsibility. He also says
that human existence is absurd and unjustified.
Therefore, the g...

Descartes Distinguished Distinctions Descartes
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. Here
Descartes discerns between mere opinion and strict
absolute certainty. To make this consideration he
establishes that he mu...

At the Descartes Essay 1 At the beginning of
Meditation three, Descartes has made substantial
progress towards defeating skepticism. Using his
methods of Doubt and Analysis he has
systematically examined all his beliefs and set
aside those which he could call into doubt until
he reached three beliefs which he could not
possibly doubt. First, that the evil genius
seeking to deceive him could not deceive him into
thinking that he did not exist when in fact he did
exist. Second, that his essence is...

Hinduism 038; Christianity One would think that
Christianity and Hinduism would have nothing in

there are differences between the two. In this
comparison that I am making one can find these

off by helping one understand Hinduism. To define
Hinduism is very nearly impossible. Actually it is
not so much a religion as a religion-social
system. Although Hinduism contains a whole farrago
of theologies, p...

Existence Precedes Essence. The Second Sex,
published in 1949, is one of Simone de Beauvoir's
most famous and most shocking work, during its
time. One of de Beauvoir's greatest influences was
partly explained by her exceptional position in a
male-dominated, intellectual world of French
existentialism. One intellectual and influential
role in de Beauvoir's life, was her relationship
with Jean-Paul Sartre, a famous French
existentialist. From the time this couple fell in
love at the Sorbing until ...
