Lao Tzu Ancient Chinese
1,134 words
Since the beginning of time, man has sought to
explain the world around him. This is called
philosophy, a Greek word which means 'love of
wisdom. ' However, over the millennia it has come
to mean much more. The philosophies of the ancient
Chinese people, whether they explain nature or
present ways to live a just life, became so
complex that simple prose could not suitably
express their meaning. Yet paradoxically, the
simpler, less exact form of poetry does put forth
the ideas. Nowhere is this mo...

unrealistic demands upon society that would affect
every facet of life both domestic and abroad.

cellulose, which contains no amino acids. In the
same way, bacterial cell walls themselves differ
from one another. Scientists distinguish two types

Mind And Body Descartes Ideas
861 words
Conceivability Argument The Sixth Meditation of
Descartes contains two arguments in defence of
Cartesian dualism: First, since the mind and the
body can each be conceived clearly and distinctly
apart from each other. It follows that god could
cause either to exist independently of the other,
and this satisfies the traditional criteria for a
metaphysical real distinction. (Med. VI) Second,
the essence of body as a geometrically defined
region of space includes the possibility of its
infinite divi...

Descartes believed that we should ask what it
would mean to know about reality, and to examine
what reality meant. He claims that unless we know
first whether our belief itself is justified we
cant know. To determine whether our beliefs are
justified, we have to be able to trace them back
to a statement, belief, or proposition that cannot
be doubted. Like many other philosophers the only
true and believable facts are mathematical. But if

is cloning. I think the biggest part will be
