The idea that one has the only acceptable view of a situation is extremely prevalent in today’s society, especially in the increasingly polarized political arena. This view that one’s opponents’ points should not be considered because they are inherently wrong in some sense is extremely illogical. The true mark of an astute modern political thinker is a desire to understand one’s opponents’ positions and motivations for those positions while still maintaining a consistent, logical, personal…

In Descartes’ Meditations of First Philosophy, he spends the First Meditation rationalizing that the senses could be deceiving us and that they are not foundational beliefs (Descartes, pg.12). He later justifies that we do not view the essence or true nature of objects through the senses, but rather, through the intellect. However, he agrees that it was God who permits us the capacity of the senses and the involuntary use of them. So then why does God give us sensory perceptions? If the true…

Never have humans had such abundance of information, easily accessible at the touch of a finger. Philosophers, doctors and scientists throughout history have labored their entire lives to study the science of earth, space and life on our planet. Now, with the amazing technological advances we’ve experienced in the last several decades, so many monumental discoveries have shed light on these fields, answering many questions and creating many more. The question now facing many of us in our quest…

Every person in the world have different opinions between each other, which has caused conflict between us. There are plenty of conflicts around the world that’s going on with terrorism in the center of it (Strategy Page, 2005). This is due to people believing their ideals are right while other people’s ideals are wrong. Likewise, as tensions begin to boil over due to the difference between each other the world has once again been thrown into a dangerous spiral (Sternberg, 2003). When people…

Anonymous is a group of hacktivists that wanted to expose corrupt companies and businesses while starting mass awareness and staying unknown. It started out as joke on 4chan, an imageboard website in 2003. They went by the motto “none of us are as cruel as all of us.” Anonymous doesn't have a form of organization or logistics but the way an operation is started is by a member talking to other members about an idea. If they think is a good idea, they will support it. If not supported, the idea…

I. First of all, it is worth to mention, that worldview is the philosophical concept of the reception of the world. The co-authors defined worldview as “a framework a person brings to decision-making” (Weider, Gutierrez 2011, p.51). It appears in various manifestations depending on the surrounding of the person, its religion and own outlook on the life. (56 Words) II. The origin of the existence is described in the Bible as the process of the creation throughout the duration of 6 days. Each…

On Monday I had the opportunity to observe Dr. Koehler give a lesson to a baritone named Ryan. My first impressions of Ryan were very positive. He seemed to have a great grasp on proper technique in almost every category. Dr. Koehler’s comments and corrections dealt with more advanced techniques and realms of thought. During the warm-up, Dr. Koehler critiqued Ryan’s phonation, saying that you shouldn’t use force or push when starting phonation. Ryan was coming off of an illness, and his initial…

-Descartes’ argument that the mind is not material is inherently flawed and can be countered. -He disagrees with Weirob’s argument that a person is his or her body only. Descartes knows that he exists somehow, to have all these thoughts of doubt. He initially thought that he had a soul, by which he could sense and think, and also had a body. However, all these physical attributes have been cast into doubt. Except for one. He may exist without any other of the above attributes, but he cannot…

This is a brief essay detailing the connection of a stand alone philosophical thought Allegory of the Cave; and a major 20th century young adult novel Fahrenheit 451. The purpose of this essay is to successfully show a connection between the both, most importantly a clear inspiration displayed in Fahrenheit 451.
