Absolute

1789-1799 the French Revolution took place, when France’s government system of a monarchy was challenged and overthrown. France had many economic problems and was unstable due to the many disagreements amongst social classes and the King. Through an absolute monarch, there was much corruption and crisis, and change was needed. The National Assembly took action, (group members from the Bourgeoisie) and used Enlightenment ideas towards the ideal government, a constitutional monarchy. They moved…

. If one had to ask me before taking this “Introduction to Philosophy” course what Philosophy was, I would have formulated my answer to be somewhere along the lines of “It is..ya’ know… the questioning of everything?” and would have tried to promptly change the subject as I actually did not have any idea as to what the subject of Philosophy actually encompassed. However, now after the course’s completion, I have not only acquired greater understanding, but I have also gained much interest on…

Introduction Max Weber, born on April 21, 1864, was a German social scientist and the founder of modern sociological thought. Having a father who was an active lawyer in political life influenced him to attend Heidelberg University and to major in law, history, economics, as well as philosophy. After later continuing his studies at the Universities of Berlin and Göttingen, he managed to pass his bar examination in 1866 and he decided to practice law for a short period of time. In 1889, he…

Geography is essential to understanding the place with the only known life source on it. Because there is so much information and geography covers a wide variety of topics,it can be broken down into five themes: Movement, Region, Human-Environment Interaction, Location, and Place. Each of these themes helps people understand more about the earth, how it is formed, how ideas spread, and how it affects other places and things. Knowing this kind of information can help one make better decisions…

full possession of one’s self also provides protection, in the moral sense, of our lives being taken without our permission. These rights are not absolute and can be striped if one fails their moral obligation to not impede on another’s same right. “If any rights are fundamental, the right to life is certainly one of them; but to claim that it is absolute, inviolable under any circumstances and for any reason, is a different matter” (Primoratz, 127). Let’s discuss the case of Tom and Sue. Tom…

Power, although a necessity to keep societies in an orderly fashion, can immediately turn into absolute corruption in a matter of time. Power, such a malleable instrument, can lead to an unwieldy combination of complete totalitarianism against any who opposes the rule of the established government. In both of the novels, this is subtly, but effectively implemented to make the reader experience the development of the corruption, and the eventual total control of both societies. In both novels…

I do not find that Hochswender persuaded me to believe that he is not “a bad person” (as cited in Muller and Wiener, 2015), since he drives an SUV. It appears that he has a strong argument. However, the ethical reasoning is faulty. The argument felt more like an emotional appeal because he talks about wanting his 9 year-old to be safe and about his family responsibilities. I can identify with these responsibilities. This argument tugs at my emotions, because it makes me think of my son. Even…

The relativity stability of the church during the ‘Ancien Régime’ meant that the fall of absolute monarchy can largely be ascribed to problems in its other foundations .The breakdown between the aristocrats and the monarchy occurred over time, and for various reasons. One of these reasons is the highly self-destructive court culture. It was a culture that prided itself on the appearance of magnificence, and indulgence in its vices. La Princesse de Clèves gives us a rare look into court culture…
