Especially if there was getting to be too little of one group of animals, he and his father would altogether stop hunting it until there was a sufficient number. And in situations like that, were one of the reasons he admired his father so much. When it counted, his father showed control, and self- discipline.

    In Emile Durkheim’s book The Division of Labor in Society, there is a passage, on page 312, in which he writes about the division of labor, solidarity, and spontaneity. I will break down what these three terms means to him and what he was trying to convey to his audience, at the time. Durkheim believed that solidarity is what made a healthy, organic society. An organic society, to him, was one where there was still inequality, but more specifically, natural inequality. He saw there being two kinds of inequalities.…

    John Leslie Mackie maintained that there is no objective moral truth. Throughout my essay I aim to establish what Mackie meant by this, I shall then go on to explore his ‘Argument from Relativity’ (more commonly known as the argument from disagreement) which he displays in his paper ‘The subjectivity of Values’ (1977). Finally, I shall investigate an important objection to the argument outlining how Mackie and other scholars respond to these critics. I believe that they respond sufficiently to the criticisms, critics appear to make fundamental misunderstandings regarding the way in which agents construct their beliefs leading them to falsely conclude that objective values exist. As a moral anti-realist Mackie supposes that moral properties cannot exist independently of the mind.…
