Steven Luper-Foy's Analysis

Improved Essays
According to Nagel humans have the ability to lead subjective lives, while also having the capacity and tendency to think objectively, from an outsider’s perspective. We live our day to day lives taking each action and activity with seriousness. While we also look at them from a conscious point of view, leaving them to appear arbitrary and open to doubt. Steven Luper-Foy has his own views on the ‘absurdity of life’ and argues against Nagel's theories. Nagel outlines arguments and perspectives to suggest we cannot prevent our lives from being absurd and concludes that they are. Whereas Luper-Foy challenges flaws in Nagel’s arguments with his own opinions to propose our lives are not necessarily absurd. This proposes the question of is human

    In Nathalie Petrowski’s passage, “The Seven Minutes of Marc Lepine”, published in Effective Reading and Writing for Comm170 and beyond, Third Edition, the author empathize with Marc Lepine, and challenges the readers that Marc Lepine who is identified as an abuser, is in actuality a victim.

Nathalie gives example of the devastating events that occurred in his life that could of cause this, such as being abused by his father, his parent’s divorce and dropping out of school.

    Lorin Bradbury's Analysis

    We are disappointed by Lorin Bradbury’s explanation of why women stay in domestic violence relationships. A more important question is “Why do batterers hit and attempt to control a person whom their cultural norms tell them to love and cherish?” This would have been an opportunity for the religious leader, Pastor Bradbury, to apologize for the countless Christian pastors over the decades who have counseled women to stay with abusive partners. It would have been the opportunity for the psychologist, Dr. Bradbury, to acknowledge the complex situation a person faces when they love and need someone who becomes dysfunctional and abusive when they drink. It would have been an opportunity for the human being, Lorin Bradbury, to show more insight…

    Markus Rediker's Analysis

    In this brilliantly written work, Markus Rediker describes a machine that manipulated the world both politically and economically. The machine of terror in which people and objects were in constant process of transformation within the slave trade. In this essay I will discuss, the theme of transformation of the ship itself, the captains of the vessels, the crews, and the poor African captives. The ship begins from just a moving vessel which later is transformed into the naval warfare weapon, factory(plantation), and a prison for both Africans and sailors. Being just a moving vessel it managed to carry 12.4 million African souls through the Middle Passage from 1700-1808 when slavery was finally, officially abolished.…

    Ever since the beginning of mankind, humans have pondered the purpose of their existence. Throughout history, a variety of philosophers, as well as authors, have asserted what they think to be the meaning of life. Philippe Petit’s To Reach the Clouds: My High Wire Walk Between the Twin Towers, Colum McCann’s Let the Great World Spin, and Wes Moore’s The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates all offer a unique outlook on the age old question of human existence.…

    The philosopher Albert Camus paints and bleak picture of the human existence, saying that our lives have no meaning and are, as a consequence absurd, because all our efforts are futile and hopeless. However, if we can accept that choice is intrinsic to a thinking being, then we can admit to ourselves that everything we do, no matter how insignificant, possesses some meaning and it gives our existence purpose. There are two certainties in life deduced by the thinking of Rene Descartes; one is that we are a thinking mind and the other is that we exist. I want to extend this thinking further to include the obligation to choose, find what is sufficient for purpose and meaning and conclude that we have enough in our current conditions.…

    There are many different outlooks on life. Some believe that the world we exist in is meaningless and that nothing we do will be of importance. Others, however, have a much more lighthearted approach, focusing on enjoying their lives as much as possible and looking for enjoyable activities to partake in. This search for a purpose in life, or existentialism, shapes our realities and our ambitions.…

    The meaning to one’s existence is a constant search for mankind. In their lifetimes they experience various events that transform their views on the world. In turn changing their view of their very own existence. In John Gardner’s Grendel, Grendel’s perspective of himself in a mindless and mechanical natural world, illustrates the idea that one’s perspective on existence stems from experience. Grendel’s surroundings and various encounters help shape his view of an indifferent and unsympathetic natural world.…

    Generally, when people give reasons for why our lives do not matter, many turn to our smallness in the universe or to the fact that we do not live forever. However, Nagel suggests that even if we took up a larger portion of the universe, or if we lived forever, our lives would still be meaningless; our meaninglessness would just take up a larger percentage of space, or exist for a longer amount of time. Nagel states that these reasons are attempts to express the absurdity of life which arises from the paradoxical conscious awareness of our gratuitous stance in the world in combination with our need to take our lives seriously. Nagel defines the seemingly external viewpoint which humans are capable and bound to take, sub specie aeternitatis,…

    Regarding the relationship between the body and the mind, people cannot avoid two important philosophy concepts:, Physicalism, and Functionalism. Physicalism believes that the only substance exist is physical. Functionalism suggests that mental states are the internal cause of behavior.(Braddon-Mitchell&jackson p41). In this paper, I will mainly discuss four perspectives about Physicalism, Functionalism and the argument “ What is it like to be”. First, what’s Physicalism?…

    A Response to Question 1, Section 1: The Meaning of Life: Wolf vs. Taylor Both Richard Taylor and Susan Wolf understand the difficulty of answering the question, “What is the meaning of life?” Taylor begins his “The Meaning of Life” by saying that we do not even understand what the question means to then answer it, and Wolf claims in her own “The Meanings of Lives” that the question is embarrassing to ask because, as Taylor asserts, we really do not understand what is being asked here. Taylor proposes, then, the best way to answer this is to ask what makes for a meaningless life, and perhaps from this comparison, we can find some answers to the original question. Wolf appreciates Taylor’s approach as she also adopts his method, and even though…

    Spiritual Journey For my paper, I will be covering and exploring scientific theories that are then applied to my personal life experiences to form a sort of hybrid story/academic research paper, which I feel suits perfectly my strong character traits of constant hesitation. I will bring to mention my personal philosophies, past/present dependency problems, acute depression, and individual spiritual experiences which were able to defy my understanding of science, and thus exist without empirical explanation. When I think of one’s reality, I try to see things from every angle, yet admittedly do not, but I am confident many others are trapped in this single-viewed paradox. I am not fond of the terms human nature and the potential assumptions…

    Susan Wolfs “The Meaning in Life and Why It Matters” is a short book of Essays containing commentaries by Robert Adams and John Kothe, and Wolfs responses to their commentary. Throughout the book Wolf focuses on 3 views to talk about when thinking about life, and objectively why it matters for it to be important. Those 3 views are the Fulfillment view, the Larger-than-oneself view, and the Bipartite view. After explaining these views Wolf then gives her interpretation on her own crafted view called the Fitting Fulfillment view. After Wolf explains these views, Adams and Kothe set up counter arguments to her view and the other views.…

    In Susan Wolf’s paper “The Meanings of Lives,” she discusses the qualifications of and the innate human yearning for a meaningful and fulfilling life. The foundation for her argument lies in her three criterion for meaning which include involvement, purpose, and success. She then continues her argument by explaining the opposite of each of these criterion as a stereotypical person. However, Wolf’s assertion suffers from being overly general in that it makes the assumption that all humans have access to the same resources and opportunities to perform the tasks required to be considered meaningful by her standards.…

    If there was one article that really stuck out to me throughout the semester, it has to be Nagel’s “What Is It Like to Be a Bat”. It’s concept and philosophy fixed itself into me and I tried applying those ideas to other articles as we went on. This article addresses one of the big questions of consciousness that tends to float around when discussing philosophy, which is what is it like to be something other than yourself? It isn’t too often that you debate on whether or not something or someone is experiencing the same feelings obtained through the environment as you are.…

    Now in order to address and explore the question about the meaning of being, Heidegger argues that it requires that being for whom the sense of Being and Being itself matters. This conceptual access to the question of Being can only be possible through an examination of the being of the particular kind of entity that is the human being, a human structure, which he calls Dasein. The concept of Dasein is fundamental and crucial for Heidegger’s project in Being and Time and for existential philosophy in general. More broadly, and in the context of traditional German philosophy, Dasein denotes being, existence. However, Heidegger uses Dasein in a narrower way so that to describe the particular experience of being that applies to the modes of the…
