are no morals. In today’s world, our morals are defined to a large extent by religion. The battle between good versus evil goes back to the creation of the world. In religious cases, it goes beyond that. In our society, evil takes a different form each day.

In this analysis I will briefly explain Carroll's argument, which focuses on narrative artworks, and is contrasted with autonomism in both its radical and moderate forms. Although…

The trouble with defining the nature of Dorian Gray, is that one is left wondering if he should be defined based on his morals, or on the morals held by most of society.

Without having full consciousness of the significance or context of our actions, could we still have moral responsibility (Edmonds)? If a person with somnambulism (sleepwalking disorder) does something unconsciously, can they be held morally responsible for it (Edmonds)? Moral…

Even though Mark Twain decided to start out The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with a type of “abandon all hope” warning when it comes to finding a moral in his exciting account of American youth, the foundation of his argument, that there is no moral, is counterintuitive due to the nature of storytelling. To understand this idea better, let us consider a question that English professors at the University of Portland propose to their “Thinking Through Literature” course as the theme for their…
