Schlick moritz Belief claim:
Moritz the moral philosopher, was only seeking to understand the moral conduct, moral phenomena but was careful not to create them or guide them. As a moralist, he was interested in the quality of life itself and he seeks to enlighten men with respect to the good of life, and therefore, he came with a practical goal and not in the theoretical goal. Therefore, as a moralist, he taught that the good life is a full life, which is to the highest amount of activity valued for its own sake.
Therefore, he said that activities that are valued in and for themselves are properly called or known as play. He also agreed with Schiller that man is truly man only when he plays. And, as a youth is characteristically the time of play, and the concept of “youth” is the clue to the meaning of life. He also believed that whenever man acts out of the joy in acting, it’s believed that his youthful regardless of his age and not only that, it entails philosophically that his life is meaningful. Just as the moralist said “man plays only when he is in the full sense of the word, and he is the only wholly man when he is playing.’’ (Page 64). Therefore, as moralist, he views his work as an explaining of

    The passages I have just read are about children and how people believe their time is better spent. One is for creative play time and the other is more set towards orginized activities. I believe there should be a mix between the two, not just one in particular; but we'll get to that later in my essay. In the passage "Helping Children Play Creatively" it points out that in todays society children's time is over filled with structured activity. While sports, clubs, and music are all great activities, it does not give the child time to be as creative.…

    Aristotle is one of the most popular philosophers, and also very well-known not only in philosophy but also in literature. A very popular argument of Aristotle is the “Virtuous Function Argument”. This argument concludes that; If any person is virtuous, then he/she performs his/her purpose/function well. But with this argument, it could have disagreed due to the vocabulary and it is noted “not sound”, or not valid in the sense that they set the argument up wrong. I tend to feel that this argument is not sound with the incorrect vocabulary of the argument.…

    “Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth- stepped back to note the effect- added a touch here and there- criticized the effect again- Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed.” This excerpt from “The Glorious Whitewasher” by Mark Twain tells the story of a sneaky, young boy who fooled his peers into doing his work and giving him their treasures while he relaxed like a mom at the beach. I will now describe Tom’s inspiration or strategy and explain how this inspiration is central to the theme and plot regarding work vs. play. Tom Sawyer is one clever, young man.…

    Caillois approach to play entails categorization of games while at the same time offering two different orientations to play. On the other hand, Sicart views towards games and play revolves around both ontological and epistemological activities. However, delving in their discussions, one would see some huge similarities in a complementarity fashion. For instance, in his argument, Caillos argues that play is a free activity that is normally outside of the “ordinary” and can be considered as “not serious.” Sicart complements this argument by arguing that play is creative since it entails degrees of expression that is inherent in the activity.…

    Today’s society as a whole is preoccupied by staying up with the latest trends on social media and considers binging their way through a season of their favorite TV show as an accomplishment. An unsurprising, yet disappointingly large portion of today’s population fails to live what many would consider a “good life” (needs to be in quotes?), one that has meaning and purpose. And while few would admit they lead and unaccomplished life, with a bit of further examination it is not hard to see why so many people fall short in this department. _____ Tolstoy’s novella, “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of how easy it is to become caught up and preoccupied by the less important things in life and the impact this potentially…

    Overtime, there have been several theorists who have made valuable contributions in how play impacts young children (“The Importance of Play,” n.d.). One theorist, Jean Piaget felt that play is the assimilation product of a child making new information fit into an existing structure that they already know and can relate to. Because Piaget felt that children cannot find a connection to new information without having to change their mental structure, he did not feel that play provides children with learning. Instead, Piaget suggested that play was a way in which a child could practice what they have learned (“The Importance of Play,”…
