Anna Karenina Pale Blue
1,555 words... ts, whether occasioned by chalk marks on a leather table cover or by the subtlest nuance in someone's eyes, in contrast to the falsehoods of social language that obscure and separate people, create a few brief and sometime ecstatic moments of "penetration" between usually separate consciousnesses, a transcending of interpersonal space. And yet words are still the tools by which, literally, men live or die. Levin's search for structure, as mentioned above, may be considered a struggle to find...

Son In Law Thom Jones Effect
372 wordsJudging from the other reviews, the awards, and multiple accolades Thom Jones's writings, and "The Pugilist at Rest" in particular, have received, I am apparently in quite the minority. But here goes: I found an inherent falseness and overwritten emotion throughout the stories. Jones too often tells the reader what he / she should be feeling instead of letting the reader respond sans prescription. Case in point: "I Want to Live!" The son-in-law is the "good guy" (obviously the author -- tacky) w...

Death And Dying Survival Of The Fittest
1,850 words... compassion and love. The reason why we needed to discuss this religious doctrine in this paper is because the message of love serves as foundation, upon which the contemporary Western morality is based. Social attitudes towards the issue of death in Western countries are affected by this morality more than by anything else. (3) Different cultures have their own social customs, in regards to death and dying. Canadian Eskimos, for example, were known to abandon elderly people in the middle of ...

Friedrich Nietzsche Heavenly Father
1,026 wordsFriedrich Nietzsche Some call Friedrich Nietzsche the father of the Nazi party. Was Nietzsche's ideas twisted and warped by a needy country? Nietzsche himself despised the middle and lower class people. Was it Nietzsche's Will to Power theory that spawned one of the greatest patriotic movements of the twentieth century? These are some of the questions I had when first researching Friedrich Nietzsche for the following paper. Friedrich Nietzsche, at one time called the arch enemy of Christianity (...

Believed That People Act Differently

However after thinking about it I have come to the conclusion that philosophy is relevant and can be used to help peoples outlook on life. While some of the ideas the philosophers in this book had did not appeal to me, I thought it is good to have these ideas for the good of the society. Some of these ideas are cr...

Fyodor Dostoevsky Weimar Republic
1,399 wordsFrom the ontological, epistemological, and ethical Irrationalism to the psychological and social irrationality of individual psychology, manipulation of the masses has always gone hand in hand. During the infantile stages of its discovery to the full blown power seen in todays world, nothing alone has contributed more to the near total destruction or utopian existence in humankind's evolution than time itself. And with that I will briefly recite my perceptions of the latter. For the most part, t...

Friedrich Nietzsche Literary Technique
3,976 wordsFriedrich Nietzsche's career as a philosopher and writer is nothing short of monumental. His criticism of organized religion and support of nihilism are key characteristics of his work, and his books are unified by one simple fact: Nietzsche himself wrote them. While this revelation may not seem profound in any sense, Nietzsche's view of his vocation as an author is the source of inspiration, complication and, indeed, the very root of his philosophy. Nietzsche's use of literary technique results...
