Soul And Body Transcendental Experience
1,234 words
Through his poetry, Whitman's "Song of Myself"
makes the soul sensual and makes divine the flesh.
In Whitman's time, the dichotomy between the soul
and the body had been clearly defined by centuries
of Western philosophy and theology. Today, the
goodness of the soul and the badness of the flesh
still remain a significant notion in contemporary
thought. Even Whitman's literary predecessor,
Emerson, chose to distinctly differentiate the
soul from all nature. Whitman, however, chooses to
reevaluate...

Notion That Language Nature Of Language Sign
1,597 words
Within many English departments around the country
today, radical claims about the nature of language
have entered into discussions about literary
texts. Bred out of the modern critical theory of
Deconstruction, these discussions question if the
true "meaning" of language can ever be determined.
As a mode of literary analysis, Deconstruction
essentially asserts that meaning within texts is
at best indeterminate and arbitrary, as the
language in which they are written is said to
"fail, " to be "s...

One Can Find Role Of Women

The mythological Greek tradition serves as an
example image of gender differences and perception
of the Greek custom. The interpretations of the
sexes offer historical background to Greek
society. Through depicting the mythological works
one can find unique differences that characterize
both men and women. Women especially hold an
interesting role. Certain characteristics and
traits help define the role of women and give
historical insight to the role of women that is
perceived and should be ach...

Categorical Imperative Socially Responsible

... notion of Divine Command, which is being
originated by William Ockham. It tells us that it
is an individuals duty to God, which alone should
be used, while trying to figure out whether any
particular action is moral or not. Yet, we cannot
be considering this theory seriously, because the
existence of God has never been proved
scientifically. Therefore, it cannot serve as the
basis, upon which the argument might be
established. (3) But the other approach, suggested
by Emmanuel Kant, is much m...

of Spirit is much more complicated. Many theorists

correct would be Wilber's "the spirit is the
essence of awake or mindful work. " I think my

idealism through increasingly more complex

Point Of View Ch Ing

Since religions such as Buddhism and Christianity
have fundamentally different grammars, how can
they have anything to say to each other? Thirty
years ago, before I began the study of Zen, I
said, "Mountains are mountains, waters are waters.
" After I got an insight into the truth of Zen
through the instruction of a good master, I said,
"Mountains are not mountains, waters are not
waters. " But now, having attained the abode of
final rest [that is, Awakening], I say, "Mountains
are really mounta...

Hauntology in Derrida's Specters of Marx Derrida's
discussion of the relevance of Marxism in his book
was long awaited. It was the first attempt to
discuss Marxist politics from a different
prospective. My attempt was to summarize arguments
and to give the main idea of thoughts of Derrida.
However, it is hard to describe all the beautiful
deferred and differed meanings carefully
established by Derrida. The author wanted to
remind us in a unique playful way about the

... is also coincident with the social
interdependence of the laborers to the total
amount of objects produced within the span of
their labor. The interaction between the objects
naturalizes them and their own society starts to
exist independent from those people that actually
produce the objects at issue. By means of that
interchange (or substitution), the results of
peoples toil become commodities, sensuous
entities, which can be regarded as highly social.

Free Market Economy Capitalist Societies

From the very dawn of intelligent human
interaction to the present day, the concept of
capitalism has dominated the way we trade goods
and acquire wealth. Except for the necessity of a
simple communist society in pre-modern times, or
the noble humanistic notion of a socialist
society, the free market has always been the most
efficient way to run the economy once the most
basic needs of life have been satisfied. Only
during the last several hundred years has the idea
of a modern democracy been de...

Tarquinius Superbus Roman Tradition

Cicero, was truly a man of the state. His writings
also show us he was equally a man of philosophical
temperament and affluence. Yet at times these two
forces within Cicero clash and contradict with the
early stoic teachings. Cicero gradually adopted
the stoic lifestyle but not altogether entirely,
and this is somewhat due to the fact of what it
was like to be a roman of the time. The morals of
everyday Rome conflicted with some of the stoic
ideals that were set by early stoicism. Thus,
Cicero c...
