Certainty

Though undifferentiated by Pippin, I agree that this is a continuation of consciousness to self-consciousness (2010:39), however, this continuation is misrepresented. This desire that is self-consciousness is the desire that is motivated by sense-certainty. As consciousness relates “of object to knowing a passive unity”, ‘the ’I’ is the content of the connection and the connecting itself’ (M166). Desire that is self-consciousness tries to track down which is itself within the relation of…

likely getting paid. So you're most likely not going to be willing to rely those people at anytime, or have any confidence that they will have your back when you need it the most, or to be there when you are in need of someone to talk to, or have the certainty that they can keep a secret of yours. But that to me is my definition of trust. Trust that doesn't give any materialistic value, rather the trust itself is valuable…

Despite all of Descartes’ past educational and travel experiences, he decides he must first study himself and his soul to start over. Descartes decides that he needs to discard all of his current positions, even if they may be right, because he did not trust what he was taught and what others and society taught and thought was the truth. Descartes explained how he discarded his current positions and started fresh, “…I learned not to believe anything too firmly of which I had been persuaded only…

To establish a charitable trust, the test of public benefit should be satisfied. In Oppenheim case, the test was not established and the trust held not charitable. Charity means an institution which is established for charitable purposes only. One of the most important requirements of charitable trusts is the ‘public benefit test’. In contrary to the other trusts, which are called private trusts, charities are observed to be public trusts. The reason for distinguishing charities from other…

The author Friedrich Nietzsche in his text (“The Madman”, 1882) used a narrative to prove a point. To be more specific he wanted to show or demonstrate to people how bad was the status of religion and of faith in Europe around his time (1882-1887) the time when he was publishing “The Gay Science”. The story started with a man who is described as a “madman”. The madman begins by entering a marketplace and starts to shout loudly “I seek God! I seek God!” He then encounters a group of people in the…

Despite the fact Warren was affiliated with the terrorist group al-Qaeda, his death highlighted on going questions regarding the use of drones as weapons. Drones are unmanned flying machines usually controlled by remote pilots. During the 21st century, United States has been using these machines and utilizing them in military air strikes.

Henry David Thoreau passionately writes in “Civil Disobedience” about his disdain for the government, that it is a vehicle for injustice, and anyone who blindly follows the law are made agents of injustice. Thoreau believes that you as an individual must do whatever you think is right, and you must not participate in what you think is wrong. This he does by abstaining from paying taxes that may contribute to wrongdoing. This is in large agreement with Socrates’ views as told from the “Apology,”…

Is it moral, ethical, or even practical to legalize illegal drugs? Let's begin with the practical side of this discussion. In a pure world drug would not exist, but this is not a perfect world, and so we put forth the effort to provide alternate solutions to iron out the issues. Allowing these drugs to be sold in stores is not the way to control dealing and distribution of unwarranted pharmaceuticals on the streets of America. First of all smokers are subjected to a tough time, by peers, due to…

it is completely and irrevocably consumptive. When an expecting mother thinks of her future, she thinks of taking first day of school pictures, buying the first car, and sending her child to college. The last thing on her mind is that the only certainty in her unborn child’s life is death. In using this wording, Hemingway shows that even an unborn child can already be considered “gone” with death. Another thing that often comes unexpectedly is weather. Whether or not one expects it, weather…
