Necessarily True Each Time True Each Time Thinks
371 wordsHere Descartes is talking of the difference between mere opinion and strict absolute certainty. To establish this he must first attack all principles which supported everything that he once believed in.

Learned From Zorba Zorba Is Not Necessarily Boss
403 wordsThe ending pages of Zorba take on a strangely more solemn tone than is seen in most of the rest of the book. Not only seriousness on behalf of Boss, but Zorba as well.

Zorba's quote, for pity's sake, do not forget me, best expresses this. This longing is seldom seen anywhere else in the book. In Zorba's final letter to Boss, written by the schoolmaster, Zorb...

619 wordsPsychological egoism is the view that people are always selfish. When was the last time you did a good deed? Did you do it for its own sake, or for your own? The egoist says that all of us are necessarily self-regarding. I shall argue that this view is incorrect. First we should ask, what kind of claim is this? Is it an a priori claim, or a generalization from experience? If it were the latter, we could never conclusively prove it: we could never show that necessarily all actions are selfish. So...
