1,149 wordsAccording to Aristotle Oedipus from the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles is the ideal model of a classic tragic hero.

Oedipus fate is not deserved. The pl...

Good Or Bad Moral Relativism
4,406 wordsMORAL OBJECTIVISM 1 What is the issue The present essay is a defense of a view called moral objectivism and attack on its opposite, subjectivism or moral relativism.

It certainly is not some kind of simple logical fallacy, as the concept of 'the naturalistic fallacy' would presumably imply, since I am deriving a moral judgement from other, non-moral judgements. It might be, and standard is, replied that the argument presupposes certain implicit moral judgements, that life, prosperity, and freedom are goo...

Mark Antony Brutus Made
1,166 wordsFrom reading the play, Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, I can affirm that Marcus Brutus made several errors of judgement, all in different situations, which ultimately lead to his death. I can also state that Brutus, whom Mark Antony described as the noblest Roman of them all, failed to carry out his promise (which was essentially freedom) to Rome. Brutus errors of judgement played a large part in the failure of the conspirators, and his own death. Many times his ego and his self-image sto...

Moral Judgements Moby Dick
3,588 wordsRichard B. Sewall claims that Melville's vision in Moby-Dick is a cruel reminder of the original terror, in which all moral judgements are accompanied by tensions, paradoxes, and ambiguities. In response to this statement, I agree that all moral judgements are fraught with tensions, paradoxes and ambiguities. Much of Ishmael's experiences while on land and at sea deal with making moral judgements; the act of forming an opinion by discerning what is right and wrong. Melville uses Ishmael to prove...
