morals, and subord...

Mind And Body Existence Of God
1,140 words
In the Sixth Meditation, Descartes makes a point
that there is a distinction between mind and body.
It is in Meditation Two when Descartes believes he
has shown the mind to be better known than the
body. In Meditation Six, however, he goes on to
claim that, as he knows his mind and knows clearly
and distinctly that its essence consists purely of
thought. Also, that bodies' essences consist
purely of extension, and that he can conceive of
his mind and body as existing separately. By the
power of ...

... om scale. In the case of the yellow box, the
introspective knowledge that I have (the knowledge
that I am having a certain experience) is not
explained by my perception of the internal
workings of my mind, rather it is explained by my
(sensuous) perception of another o! best, the
yellow box. A certain problem presents itself at
this juncture however. In the bathroom scale
example, the displaced knowledge is informed not
only by the sensuous perception of the bathroom
scale, but also by conne...

Comparing The Issues Of Active And Passive Euthanasia
1,625 words
"Passive euthanasia" is usually defined as
withdrawing medical treatment with the deliberate
intention of causing the patient's death. For
example, if a patient requires kidney dialysis to
survive, and the doctors disconnect the dialysis
machine, the patient will presumably die fairly
soon. Perhaps the classic example of passive
euthanasia is a "do not resuscitate order."
Normally if a patient has a heart attack or
similar sudden interruption in life functions,
medical staff will attempt to revi...

Kill A Mockingbird Bob Ewell

Boundaries, Distinctions, and Games To Kill a
Mockingbird revolves around human behavior and the
boundaries that it facilitates. The boundaries of
the quiet little town of Maycomb, Alabama are
constantly tested by the games that people play.
In each game, distinctions evolve. The
distinctions become the rules of the game, of
life, and from them, different boundaries form for
each new character. With each new drama,
characters and distinctions change, as do the
boundaries which form them. The sum...

Three Hundred Years Put To Death

Many people may not know it, but they have heard
part of Hammurabi's Law Code before. It is where
the fabled eye-for-an-eye statement came from.
However, this brutal way of enforcing laws was not
always the case in ancient Mesopotamia, where
Hammurabi ruled. The Laws of Ur-Nammu are much
milder and project a greater sense of tolerance in
an earlier time. The changing Mesopotamian society
dictated this change to a harsher, more defined
law that Hammurabi ruled from. It was the urge to
solidify hi...

Although the idea of dreams has always been a
psychological one, there is a philosophical side
to them. Descartes once said, For all I know, I
might be dreaming (Bruder/Moore, Philosophy, 81).
This conjecture of Descartes was one that
explained the concept of dreams. He asked the
question, How do we know that we are not dreaming
and our whole life is but a dream? There can never
be an answer to this question but it proves that
there is a philosophical view of dreams. A dream
is a form of mental ...
