The world of semantics is dominated by two types of naming theories: descriptivist and causal. Defenders of these two theories seem to discredit each other, thinking the world of semantics must choose one or the other. I, however, do not believe this has to be the case. In this essay I will argue that parts of descriptivist and causal theories of names can come together to create a better overall theory of names: a hybrid theory. I will do this by looking at the argument Gareth Evans makes in…

A tragic hero is a character within a literary work that possesses a tragic flaw that will ultimately incur the downfall of the character, regardless of the character’s good intentions. Macbeth, from Shakespeare’s tragedy Macbeth, is, without a doubt, one of the most prevalent tragic heroes throughout all works of literature.

Over the course of the dialog from the beginning to the end Socrates was trying to teach Euthyphro. So may ask why, it because Euthyphro was the laugh of the town in Athens.

When he in process of starting a lawsuit against his father we don’t know if he at the end when he storms off, if he already started the suit or was going to be didn’t. Plato…

My website results gave me that I was “The Logistician.” I am the ISTJ personality which stands for Introvert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. My results said that I was 51 percent introvert, 51 percent sensing, 72 percent thinking, and 51 percent judging.

A reading of Walter Benjamin’s ‘Critique of Violence’ raises some question. What is the purpose of violence? What does it mean for modernity in terms of coloniality or postcoloniality? Does mythical violence lead to divine violence? Are the two intersected? Who owns what property – including land among other things? And is Critique of Violence applicable in postcolonial study? These questions are what this paper is pursuing. The main argument in this paper is that violence is about power-making…

In some sense, it seems as though the very concept of vitalism is analogous to the belief in…
