To be asked to choose anyone in the whole world opens a pathway to endless opportunities. At first, I would have said that the obvious choice would be Albert Camus. I love his book, The Stranger, and I generally follow his thoughts that life might not have meaning, but we must continue like there is because struggle is fulfilling in of itself. However, I cannot learn fully if I agree with basically all of what he says. Then, I thought of John Searle, a notable philosopher who argued that…

The world has been privy to generations of sociopaths as well as people who try to explain them. In Albert Camus' The Stranger, the author writes the main character, Mersault, as a sociopath who is indifferent to the world around him. However, his lover, Marie, is the exact opposite of him despite being in such close proximity. The contrast between Mersault and his foil, Marie, serves to prove Camus's point of the story, that there is no rational reasoning for life. Upon hearing the death of…

Upon reading The Myth of Sisyphus I have never heard of any mention of this myth. At first, I found it very hard to follow along with what the author was saying. Everything seemed very metaphorical and symbolic, but was so wordy that I had to reread it a few times in small sections in order to fully digest it. When I read the third paragraph about Sisyphus wanting to test his wife’s loyalty I thought wow that is a horrible idea. What I did not understand was why Sisyphus wanted to chastise his…

The sun is a necessity for all life on earth. Albert Camus uses the sun as a motivational tool for Meursault's actions and emotions in the novel The Stranger. Every time the sun is mentioned in the novel it is metioned as being very hot, oppresive and even paiinful. Albert Camus uses the repetition of the sun, heat, and light throughout the novel from the day of Maman’s funeral to Meursault being sentenced to death. In The Stranger, Albert Camus uses the sun to symbolize Meursault's emotions…

Leaving the comfort of home can be a painful occurence yet a rewarding one. The unfamiliar surrounding may make us miss home but will also allow for new experiences. Albert Camus portrays these ideas in his novel, The Stranger, where the protagonist Meursault faces an isolated yet eye-opening exile in prion. Through the detachment from Meursault’s normal life Camus illustrates how meaning can develop through anything. Meursault is thrown into jail after he shoots and kills another man. He at…

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Albert Camus once declared, “The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart.” Those who live by Camus’s transcendentalist views of enjoying the journey rather than the glorification of the end result will lead to a joyous way of living. Within Mary Shelley’s renowned novel, Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein, a representation of the madness that evolves around the desire to succeed in doing the impossible, is mangled by the…

Swain Psychology 101 29 October 2016 Little Albert & Conditioned Emotions In the early 1900s, classical conditioning, inspired by Ivan Pavlov, had become quite a topic. John B. Watson noted this theory, and wondered if it was possible to classically condition human beings. Watson chose to classically condition a healthy infant, who almost never cried, so that the child would not have witnessed any negative experience prior to this study. Because Albert never cried, it was decided that Watson…
