Infinity

small we are in the grand scheme of things. The whole room reflects Kusama’s subject matter, the sense of “the infinity of endless time.” (Sayre 5.) Kusama describes her hallucinations: “…I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows, and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body, and the universe. I felt as if I had begun to self-obliterate, to revolve in the infinity of endless time…” (4) The origin of her artwork came from coping with an obsessive hallucination when she…

Up until William Blake, William Wordsworth, and David Hume put pen to paper the most revolutionary lines of thought regarding science and philosophy came from Isaac Newton and John Locke and involved humans being passive receivers in a world of set laws ruling passive atoms. Blake and Wordsworth both agree with David Hume that John Locke’s view of the world is too logical and Newtonian. Blake and Wordsworth can agree that the world is not made up of dead, passive Newtonian atoms, but is instead…

The scholarship of religion has historically borrowed from the fields of anthropology and sociology in its analysis of religious practices. In response to the displacement of understanding around religion into a fully observable and explainable phenomenon, a subset of scholars have argued to bring back an understanding of religion that is theological, giving respect to divine factors. One such scholar, German theologian and philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher pushed the envelope within the…

‘Blow your trumpets’, ‘arise from death’, ‘your numberless infinities of souls’, ‘you whose eyes shall behold God’ and ‘for that’s as good as if thou’dst sealed my pardon’ are examples of emjambements. With these enjambements between the lines, the flow of the poem becomes more fluent. Besides, the example ‘you whose…

wealthy, smart, and his suits are amazing. On his team, he also has Vision, who is basically the most powerful superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His body is laced with Vibranium, he’s programmed by Jarvis codes, and his power source is an infinity stone, literally the most powerful objects in the universe. He’s also got War Machine on his side. He might not be the most powerful guy ever, but he’s super smart and combat experienced. Black Widow is a surprising teammate, considering her…

was to come and thus he turned from God. This is where he tried to deem equality with God, in thinking he could disagree with his almighty plans and it is exactly this deeming that imprisons him in ice, which as Cassell says, “mocks his desire for infinity” (96). Cassell shows that Satan’s punishment is a contrapasso because since he tried to be like God, he is punished by the reversal of Christ’s life on earth. Cassell does miss some details in his comparison however. The start of the canto…

In Michael Huemer’s essay, “The Lure of Radical Skepticism,” he expands on the idea that ‘we cannot know anything,’ by outlining four different arguments supporting the claim. (Huemer 47-57) René Descartes holds the opposite opinion, which he discusses in ‘Meditations One and Two.’ While there is validity to both sides of the argument, Huemer’s essay proves to be more reliable after dissecting Descartes’ concepts of existence. Huemer proposes that no one can know anything about the external…

directly as it does this planet Earth. The further sensing of that planet must take place in a spiritual way - the "world of thought". The ideas about IT are usually NOT RIGHT. This is first primitive stage of meeting the Concepts of ‘Eternity’ & ‘Infinity’ as a NEW…

Hazel Grace Lancaster is your average cancer patient. She is obsessed with A Imperial Affliction By Peter Van Houton. The one extraordinary thing is her little infinity with August Waters. This the greatest infinity of all times. "A boy was staring at me. I was quite sure I'd never seen him before. Long and leanly muscular, he dwarfed the molded plastic elementary school chair he was sitting in. Mahogany hair, straight and shirt. He looked my age, maybe a year older, and he sat with his…

that nothing can move itself, that is, nothing can be the ultimate cause of motion, not even man, as Feuerbach would assert. Therefore, whatever moves is moved by another; hence, we find a series of movers in the universe. But this cannot go on till infinity, because, then, there would be no first mover, and consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move in as much as they are put in motion by the first mover. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive at the first mover, put in…
