Cogito Ergo Sum God Must Exist
1,113 wordsHow can we know if we are a brain in a vat? Can we be sure that we are not the playthings of evil demons?

Yet, at least two prominent philosophers, Ren Descartes and John Locke believed there are ways to prove that we are not brains in vats.

Descartes Mind Mathematics
263 wordsDescartes was a jack of all trades, making major contributions to the areas of anatomy, cognitive science, optics, mathematics and philosophy.

For Descartes, certainty in philosophy and in mathematics is gained through understanding. We may know that two apples and two apples makes four apples, b...

Rene Descartes Sensory Perception
940 wordsIs our education complete once a degree has been earned? Have we learned all there is to know? Can we be sure of what we have come to know? Only a completely self-assured person might answer yes to these questions, but for Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650) the completion of his formal education left him feeling and thinking he was still ignorant about the certainties of human experience and existence. This prominent Renaissance philosopher conquered the world of uncertainty in a work written in the 1...

Tae Kwon Three Inch Fight
660 wordsHarvard am violently warring for peace. I know this is a paradox, and Im rather proud because it is true. Passivity has been a lifelong threat, laziness a constant lure in my search for identity. This world begs me to succumb to existing in the image of someone else, it asks only that I slip silently and blindly into the niche it provides instead of carving my own. I required a long time to work up courage to fight for the serenity I had glimpsed in hot summer woods and in lovingly handled books...

Quot V Takes Responsibility
1,237 wordsWilliam Shakespeare presents an excellent leader but a poor reasoner in Othello. The eponymous hero has strength, charisma, and eloquence. Yet these ideals of leadership do not bode well in real world situations. The battlefield and Senate are, at least in Othello, depicted as places of honor, where men speak truly. In addition, the matters of war and state are relatively simple; no one lies to Othello, all seem to respect him. He never even has to fight in the play, with the enemy disappearing ...

Jealous Man And That Iago Man And That Iago Othello
423 wordsOthello A Research Essay The Orthodox interpretation of Shakespeare's Othello is built on two assumptions; that Othello is not a jealous man and that Iago has no motives.

As the play progresses the audience witness the development and increasing complexity ...
