indivisible substance. It can also be thought of
as the true atom of nature, in brief, the elements
of things (Leibniz, 1714: 285). Whatever, is, was

General Public One Step

When you think of science you think of hypotheses
and conclusions, applications and benefits, which
are all for the good of humankind of course. And
with each new discovery, the human race takes one
step further away from all other species and one
step closer to perfection because that is the
quest. Right? The point is to take every proven
law and unproven it or add on. Scientists invent
and test for the sole purpose of education, but is
an end ever discussed? Of course a glorious impact

alienation and isolation and its consequent
increase of hostility through various characters
throughout the novel. The theme may have
originated from various elements, including Mary
Shelley s father, William Godwin, who felt that
the isolated individual would become vicious. This
idea was shared by Shelley and manifested in the
characters, Victor Frankenstein and his monster

Reason And Passion Pangs Of Conversion Love
535 words
What does St. Augustine have to say to post-modern
culture? I think that the most vital aspect in
Augustine's Confessions, more specifically his
books Student at Carthage and The birth-pangs of
Conversion, is the concept of True Love. Augustine
tells us that love is paradoxically balanced

passion can be both good and evil at some time or
another. So it is not necessarily an equilibrium.

hot or cold,...
