In Three Stages in Marx’s Thought, Wolfson will attempt to argue that Marx put forward “three disjoint but internally coherent philosophical and social systems of thought” (291). In Marx the Individualist, Wolfson lays out the first system of thought. Marx starts with the axiom that “legitimacy flow from the people to the state” (296). Because of this, the state is the product of active subjects. For this reason, a state should be democratic with elected legislature (296). Marx reasons with…

The goal of this paper is to examine the positive account of casual interaction given by David Hume in his An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. My aim is to explain the way that one’s ideas about a particular cause are related to an idea of a particular effect, such that the first event actually caused the second event. This will require an understanding of the technical philosophical language used by Hume as well as a deep look into the logic he used to build his theory. In the later part…

Nowadays, Bennis and Nanus (1985) claim that leadership is the natural expression of a fully integrated human being and Cashman (1998) describes it as the authentic self-expression that creates value. So, based on organisations, leadership should be viewed in the management of manager. Wide variety of views and understandings showing an argument between the decision to sack a manager if a game is performing poorly in a football match. The answer tells us how we could view leadership in other…

Theoretical Framework For the purpose of this study, we are going to use the augmented Solow human-capital-growth model. The theory was chosen due to its existence as an advancement on the traditional Solow growth model. Robert Solow’s initial growth model failed to categorically identify human capital. For that reason, the augmented Solow model was proposed by Mankiw, Romer and Weil in a Publication titled “A Contribution to the Empirics of Economic Growth” 1992. The rationale behind the…

viewpoints. Cleanthes is trying to argue for religion. He says that the world is obviously a machine and that from this we can show that a God like our human characteristics exists. Then Demea disputes this claim by Cleanthes because there is no proof a priori. However, Philo thinks that just because two things are similar that the analogy created by this is very weak. Another problem that Philo sees is that going off experience to replace proof for a Deity is dangerous because people experience…

Introduction According to the Christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo, creation is ontologically dependent on its Creator. This means that “God, in creating the universe, was not constrained by the limitations of the already existing stuff from which the universe was to be fashioned, but was free to bring into existence a universe in which the divine will was recognizably embodied and enacted” In these two tenets, it is affirmed that God was not forced by any inner or outer necessities to…

Systematic reviews “involve a detailed and comprehensive plan and search strategy derived a priori, with the goal of reducing bias by identifying, appraising, and synthesizing all relevant studies on a particular topic” (Uman, 2011, n.p.). My intention is to collect published literature drawn on current research to interpret and synthesize knowledge…

Research on testosterone and dominance in romantic relationships has focused on correlating basal testosterone levels with relationship outcomes, and previous work suggests the utility of using testosterone reactivity as a biological marker of social submission (e.g., Maner et al., 2008). The research reported here extended work in this area by investigating how dominance influences testosterone regulation in romantic partners who engaged in an emotional discussion in which one person was…

To fully understand Kant’s main points of the third chapter, one must begin by understanding his broad ideology. Kant’s overall intent is to sharpen the reader’s appreciation of the amount of effort it takes to think. Kant uses the description of an island which is surrounded by stormy seas. Before the reader may leave this island, the overall image of landscape should be considered. Kant’s use of the island is metaphoric for empirical knowledge. Empirical knowledge is knowledge that is acquired…

He says: “Imagination was given to man to compensate for what he is not; a sense of humor to console for what he is.” Bacon believes the world to be a deterministic place and priori knowledge and rationalism were the only sources of knowledge. In his book Novum Organum published in 1620, he says it is possible to use the method of reduction, or Baconian method, for all situations. He believes that through methods of reasoning…
