Living Our Lives Write This Essay Simply
1,801 wordsIn Fear and Trembling I write this essay. Perhaps that is part of the point, that I not write this essay in comfort, in simple regurgitation of class discussion, or by simply rewording the notes I might have taken. From reading the two passages from Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, I found a profound similarity, which, at first I could not put into words. Simply struggling with what they could both mean. Is perhaps Nietzsche's poorest fisherman rowing with golden oars (pg 269) similar to Kierkegaard's...

Nature Of God David Hume
2,184 words"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 Hume's 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. ...

God Does Not Exist Exist In Reality
1,305 wordsSaint Anselm's ontological argument seeks to provide an a priori proof (proposition which can be known or justified independent of experience) of God's existence. However, Gaunilo, a contemporary of Anselm and a fellow Catholic, argued that Anselm's ontological argument is invalid, because an argument of the same form could have true premises and a false conclusion therefore, he introduced perfect island argument which is perfectly parallel to ontological argument. In this paper, I will discuss ...

Critical Theory Western Philosophy
1,309 wordsDiscovering hypertext radically altered my perspective and perception of Jacques Derrida's work. Derrida's writing was not unfamiliar to me before this event but the texts were often difficult to read or un graspable.

I really wanted this man (whom I knew hardly anything about) to get his honorary doctorate and shove it right up the establishments derrire. I duly...

Infinite Jest Ennet House Film
770 wordsIntroduction Wallace's fictional narrative Infinite Jest is an epic approach to the solicitous and addictive nature of humanity. The novel's diverse characters demonstrate both individually and collectively the fixations and obsessions that bind humanity to the pitfalls of reality and provide a fertile groundwork for the semiotic explanation of addictive behavior. Although Wallace may have actualized the concept of the 'addicted gaze' to the literal or physical response to the viewing of Incande...

Existence Of God Word Of God

Life Existence Man
764 wordsExistentialism: A WorldView Existentialistic thought is predominately a 20 th century revelation. As a philosophy, it states that man possesses free will over his fate and the direction he wants his life to take. Those who follow this believe they are in a world that does not always make sense, a world that is filled with uncertainty where well intended actions can become obscure and chaotic. This belief is contrary to Christian morality in that it asserts the complete individualism and unimport...

Soul Is Infinite Socrates And Plato Body

Nietzsche believes that everyone should embrace the finite because you will enhance this life and make it more beautiful. He rejects the theory that eternity is of more importance than the present life. To Nietzsche, pursuing what you love to do is the only way to excellence. But for Socrates and Plato, they believe that the body weighs down the soul. They say this because they believe that by succumbing to life s want...
