In the 15 th century the concept of Europe (which, previously, mainly had been attached to geographica...

Although not a common occurrence it is quite possible that while out traveling from Cnossos, a Dolphin could jump into a boat. T...

Mind And Body Formal Reality

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.

Criminal Justice System Number Of Users
1,236 wordsThe concept of marijuana legalization has gone in and out of vogue over the past 20 years, as several states, either de jure or de facto, have decriminalized its possession and use.

In the early 1970 s, a presidential commission chaired by the former Republican governor of Pennsylvania, Raymond P. Schafer, called for federal decriminalization and eventual legalization,...
