Schumann’s Involvement in Resurrecting J.S. Bach As editor and writer for his own music journal, Neue Zeitscrift für Musik, Robert Schumann made it his personal mission to write about worthy composers and lift them up as examples to the music community. He was tired of the “Philistines” of the current music establishment, such as Wagner and Meyerbeer, who he felt were commercial and pretentious. He brought Brahms and Chopin to Germany’s notice, because he felt that their music was “honest craft…

Phil 3P97 Take Home Test 3: Deleuze and Guattari Anti-Oedipus Desire has a complicated history to philosophy; for most of philosophy's history they were viewed as fundamentally opposed. Since Plato, philosophy has viewed desire as base and something to be controlled by reason. By emphasizing reason over base desires, philosophy encouraged a pervasive self-denial identified by Nietzsche as the ascetic ideal. The core of this ideology was based on the notion that beliefs should be based upon…

The justices were: Felix Frankfurter, Hugo Black, Fred Vinson, Stanley Reed, William O. Douglas, Tom Clark, Robert Jackson, Harold Burton, and Sherman Minton. Hugo Black was one of the four Justices to vote for equality. Before he was a justice, he was a Senator of Alabama. When…

But he also thought that things had changed since he was a district attorney. The professional criminal of the Prohibition and Depression era knew what he was doing and took his chances. The average criminal of the 1950s and 1960s, though, might have turned to crime because of disadvantages or because of degradation (Warren, 1977). The criminal procedure cases coming before the Warren Court involved, from Warren’s point of view, principles of fairness and equality that were all part of the…

Plessy V. Ferguson was a Supreme Court case that first laid out the idea of “separate but equal”. This court case explains the segregation laws that were set out and why blacks cannot participate in certain events. The Simple Justice film shows the various court cases and the transformation of the society leading up to the Brown V. Board of Education Topeka decision, which declared that separate public schools for blacks and whites were unconstitutional. Thurgood Marshall attended Howard…

The case incited ample literary output that showcased the parochialism and injustice of the time and of the case. For example Harvard law professor Felix Frankfurter who later became a Supreme Court justice argued for Sacco and Vanzetti’s innocence in a broadly viewed Atlantic Monthly article that Frankfurter later published as a book. Not only this but when Edna St. Vincent Millay an extremely popular poet was arrested while picketing at the State House she took that time to…

case in fall 1953, with special attention to whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause prohibited the operation of separate public schools for whites and blacks. The Court reargued the case at the behest of Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter, who used reargument as a stalling tactic, to allow the Court to gather a consensus around a Brown opinion that would outlaw segregation. The justices in support of desegregation spent much effort convincing those who initially intended to…

“It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.”- Felix Frankfurter. This quote supports Megan B. Wyatt’s argument in her article “Harrison Bergeron an Analysis and Discussion on Dystopian Themes and American Trends,” that the world is slowly, but surely, moving towards a dystopia. I agree, because based on what we experience today, it is possible that the government will gain too much control over society and eventually become a world where…

The court case of 1896 was the year that Plessy v. Ferguson was settled. Establishing the term separate but equal after Plessy was denied his rights on riding a train. Even though this was a step closer to equality for all. In the long term, it was another way to stall and keep segregation in certain places around the united states. In the movie "Simple Justice" Thurgood Marshall, the main character goes through rigorous training to become a lawyer that could someday overturn Plessy v. Ferguson.…
