opportunity to engage in a very long conversation with the author. I had a hundred of questions on my mind. The second time I read “The Metamorphosis”, I had a hundred more questions leading to endless interpretations of what the story could be about, the infinity of possible hidden symbols each character, every sentence or tiny detail could represent. Kafka’s Metamorphosis can be read from numerous perspectives and through multiple themes, and perhaps that is exactly what makes it one of the…

In true philosophical fashion, the paper will look into the critique of Thomas Hobbes to Rene Descartes’s argument for the existence of God. Descartes argues that he has the idea of the existence of an infinite, perfect and all-powerful being. In the meditations on first philosophy, Descartes presents the proves for the existence of god with the apparent evidence that I am finite and imperfect being but I have this idea of the existence of an infinite, perfect and eternal being in mind which…

Susan Gingell- Beckmann reported “Our attention is drawn to the pivotal symbols of this novel by the title and as with all symbols, the calm at the centre is open to many levels of interpretation. The eye of the storm can be understood as an allusion to the bed ridden Elizabeth Hunter, who is the still centre in the tempest of emotions she rouses in those around her: her nurses, children lawyer and friends. On a more obvious level, reference is being made to the calm at the centre of a typhoon.…

century’ (Wipprecht 2006) the man takes absolute control of the home front and deals with it as he pleases. She threats the subject of the father figure seriously in her work. Austen’s depiction of family (home) circle is symbolic of the concept of infinity of the framework as a whole. In the realm of her symbolic representation, the home or the family is a symbol of the Garden of Eden or the lost paradise, the father figure a symbol of God, while the Son figure is a symbol of nature. The woman…

What defines a human? This answer cannot be simply answered by a short definition. Several factors influence and distinguish what is human and what is not; yet the definition of humans may differ from person to person. For example, the biological factor of how humans appear are not essential features that distinguish a human from an animal or monster. The ability to feel emotions, obtain compassion and empathy for others, and think cognitively are all qualities that a human possesses. The…

Possibility for Change. As depicted in poems and songs, the land of Australia has forever been changed by the destructive nature and presence of Western culture. As many of these texts were crafted by those whom this has effected within the Aboriginal culture, the vast majority of the songs and poems give a sense of clarity and premise. By analysing how the Aboriginal culture connects, operates, contributes and accommodates with the land as well as with each other, within their community, it…

Pascal’s wager is one of Blaise Pascal’s, a 17th century French philosopher and mathematician, most famous works. It is included in the work titled Pensees (thoughts) and was published posthumously in 1670.

If god doesn’t exist, then we have lost nothing. Although let’s just say god does exist,…
