David Lewis defended the Ability Hypothesis in an effort to prove physicalism is true in his 1988 paper titled What Experience Teaches. In this article, Lewis argues against the second premise of the Knowledge Argument. “The Ability Hypothesis says that…

Over the course of this semester, I was reminded of different characters from the Bible that I remember learning about from religion class growing up. I was reintroduced to Samuel, Saul, David, Jonathan, and Absalom. Learning about these characters now was different then learning about them when I was younger because I have developed more as a person and now see things differently than before. I was able to make new connections for these biblical characters as well as learn new things from…

Saul told his son Jonathan and all of his attendants to kill David. However, Jonathan really liked David and warned him. Jonathan told David to be on guard the next day to go hiding and stay there and he’ll talk to Saul about him and find out what he thinks. Jonathan spoke well of David and said that David has not done anything wrong to him and what he did do was benefit him. Jonathan included that David was innocent and he even risked his life to fight Goliath. Also, that the Lord won a great…

A man named Cameron Todd Willingham who resided in Texas, was convicted of murder in 1992, it was believed that he had set his home on fire with his three children still alive. With this evidence he was put to death in 2002. Later after further evidence was discovered it was sadly too late for Willingham, it was found that none of the evidence used against him was in fact valid. They said they simply misinterpreted the evidence, that the fire was just an accident. They sentenced an innocent,…

One day in January, 2004, Dr. Gerald Hurst, an acclaimed scientist and fire investigator, received a file describing all the evidence of arson gathered in Willingham’s case. Gilbert had come across Hurst’s name and, along with one of Willingham’s relatives, had contacted him, seeking his help. After their pleas, Hurst had agreed to look at the case pro bono, and Reaves, Willingham’s lawyer, had sent him the relevant documents, in the hope that there were grounds for clemency. Hurst opened the…

1. Introduction Let us say that a phenomenal quality or concept, as I will use the terms interchangeably, is “a feature of a conscious state that is notable introspectively, ostensively, as that aspect of the state, the way it feels, appears, etc.” (Loar, 81). The knowledge argument objects to physicalism through establishing conscious experiences as having non-physical properties. In “Epiphenomenal Qualia”, Frank Jackson proposes a thought experiment in which a brilliant neuroscientist named…

In the year 1992, Cameron Todd Willingham was convicted to the death penalty by a fire that killed his three kids in which the court believe he had purposely started it. Twelve years later the Texas Forensic Science Commission found that the evidence provided was wrongfully interpreted, and the evidence used against Willingham became invalid. The worst part about this heartbreaking story was that it was later known that the fire was actually accidental, and the mistakes of people costed an…

preface this by saying I had an extremely hard time choosing a director. I love film and drowned myself in choices; but the director I chose is a personal favorite of mine as well as an amazing director that could take this project to the next level, David Fincher. Anyone who loves film knows the Finch, the guy behind Fight Club, Gone Girl, Se7en, and my personal favorite, Zodiac (so underrated it should be criminal). So why would Fincher make a good director for, 1996? His artistic style would…

In my opinion, the way Milton portrays George’s life gives the reader a breathtaking view into the life of one of America’s most legendary historical figures with…
