Knowledge in Awareness
“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, and look around you.” ― Leo Tolstoy One is aware when they understand what is going on around them and whom. There are times when the palpable is as hard to find as the puzzle that always seems to go missing. In “This is Water” Aristotle’s three Appeals work together to convey the theme of awareness in ones day to day life. Wallace uses the three appeals to explain the importance of paying attention to your mind as well as being aware of the emotions and issues of others. Logos, the appeal to reason, in “This

    In their age-old writings on passionate martyrdom and Nichomachean Ethics, St. Perpetua and Aristotle promote actions and lifestyles geared toward the same destination, in spite of their apparent contradictions. While Aristotle advocates for a principled obedience to a core of virtues and Perpetua stresses the definite singular importance of giving one’s life to God, both authors approach a common definition of appropriate behavior involving courageous resolve in pursuit of the highest happiness. Aristotle elaborates his viewpoint with regards to human desire and society, and Perpetua champions an external motivation as a source of strength. First, Aristotle argues for behavior that is clean, pure-minded, and distilled in its purpose of attaining…

    Perception is a critical idea for many works including, “How to Be Stupid: The Teachings of Channel One” by Mark Crispin Miller and “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer. Both works idealize either a product or an experience that outsiders are captivated by. In Miller’s “How to Be Stupid,” he exposes Channel One for all the manipulative tactics used to sell a product to its viewers. While Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” is a retelling of the story of a man named Chris McCandless that goes on a voyage to existentially discover himself and his meaning for living. McCandless had a difficult childhood, and had an outlook on life that many would not even fathom.…

    The Loss of an Idea Walker Percy introduces the idea of individualism in his essay “The Loss of a Creature” by challenging the reader to question authority and find beauty in an object without having a preconceived idea about it. Percy contends that it is almost impossible, to see an object for what it is because of what has been formed in the sightseers mind. The author’s purpose of this essay is to expose the reader to new ideas about thinking for one’s self, and disregarding all preconceived thoughts to form impressionable ideas. Percy starts the essay by defining the sense of ownership and beauty when a person finds ownership of something.…

    Aristotle’s Ethics Book I obtains copious themes and ideas relevant to classical political theory. One of the most abundant motifs is happiness and how it impacts humans of all stages. As seen in this book, happiness is not always clear cut; therefore, the ability of humans to achieve this marvel of completeness is often disputed. While virtue and honor are acceptable candidates for this vague idea, happiness must be the good. We only strive for these attributes in order to make ourselves happy; thus, happiness is good (Aristotle, 2002, p. 3).…

    Logic is the reasoning assessed on the principles of validity. Emotion is the intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning. The rule of balance defines the way an individual’s morals bristle with prejudice, evaluating their motivation by pride and vanity in the discovery to reach new insights involving logic and one’s plight of present perception. These concepts can be evident with reference to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, a novel-to-play adaption by Simon Stephens, through questioning the thought of subjecting logic with emotion and observing themes that alert the stability in the conflict of forming individual identity. Its main character, and narrator of the book, fifteen-year-old Christopher is mathematically…

    So, if we were to imagine Aristotle standing over a rain puddle and contemplating his reflection, the occasional sprinkle of rain warping and distorting his already greyed-out image, then we may further imagine Aristotle’s state of mind and its fundamental content regarding the perception of his image—this is, essentially, a perception of a perception and is not too dissimilar to enjoying an opinion of an opinion. As another example, imagine Aristotle pondering the likelihood that his teacher’s master, Socrates, liked best a particular recipe of fermented lentil stew (which is exceedingly more delicious than it sounds, an opinion this writer has). Aristotle recognizes that his opinion that Socrates would love this food best (like my opinion…
