the worlds W, the Routley Star, and content inclusion. I will consider two possible understandings of worlds, one being in the sense used by classical modal logic, and another in terms of information states from authors like Restall. I will explain what the semantics of R in a relevant logic mean with respect to each of these concepts of worlds, and what the Routley Star and its characterization of star worlds offers to…

Having quite a pessimistic view on the world, humans especially, beginning by the end of my first decade of life produced a great interest in the darker aspects of the world we live in. This doesn 't mean I only explored the things lurking in the shadows, but rather hidden truths and malevolent desires that lie beneath even the happiest of exteriors. This brought forth the birth of "Carnival Creatures" I intend to further pursue and take advantage of this pessimistic view and explore in…

sad that neither I nor those about whom I care most are among them. By moral saint I mean a person who tries their best to be morally good as possible, yet still takes into account the idea of promoting utility, also follows his moral duty, a limited categorical imperative and can somehow balance all of them equally. I believe Susan Wolf, John Stuart Mill, and Immanuel Kant were all on to something with their ideas of morality, yet their ideas independently do not create a moral saint. It is…

A Change in Perspective with Candide and the Turk Candide: Turk, how are you this good day? The weather is nice, wouldn’t you say? Turk:Yes it is fine and I am well, working the day hard, making the best of what I have in this glorious estate of mine. How are you?

You seem so happy but you have none of the greater…

“One of The Girls” by Leslie Heywood is a wonderful article about women proving themselves in the world of sports. It begins with the story of Gertrude Ederle who defied the odds of being a woman and swimming the English Channel. She blew everyone out of the water and swam it two hours faster than any man ever had. She knew from the very start this task could be done, but her ultimate goal was to prove she could do better than the record, set by a man. The other example in the article is set…

knowledge and make other resources available to their students. Vidal also contributed many works over his years such as 17 books, 107 articles and 240 reports and reviews (Wiki). He had written a famous elementary book for geography but is his two best know works are probably the Tableau de la Geographie de la France written in 1903 and Principles of Human Geography written in 1918.

The cosmological argument for God’s existence has been called the empiricists’ form of argument. This is because it starts on the basis of human encounter with the physical universe. There are forms of this argument in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. However, its most eloquent representation is found in the philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican priest. He was basically an Aristotelian philosopher. In his time, he argued for the existence of God not minding the existential…

disdain towards his beliefs are understandable with all the corrupt political systems that have risen in the name of Marxism. Marx’s views, however, are not as terrible as society makes them out to be. Marx thoughts on the economy are a dream that even he did not know how to achieve. Marx saw how the world worked based on historical patterns and only wished to propose a way to make the world he lived in a better place. Although Marx had the best intentions, his dreams can never be realized with…

from well before Pythagoras' birth. It was Pythagoras, though, who gave the theorem its definitive form, although it is not clear whether Pythagoras himself definitively proved it or merely described it. Either way, it has become one of the best-known of all mathematical theorems, and as many as 400 different geometrical, some algebraic, some involving advanced differential equations, etc. proofs now exist, some geometrical, some algebraic, some involving advanced differential equations.…
