Despite the heretical view of Eriugena’s writing by subsequent Christian philosophers, the Early Middle Ages made great strides in the area of logic. In fact, Spade (2016) notes that one may regard the Early Middle Age as being: one of the three great, original periods in the history of logic [and] the peculiarly medieval contributions to logic were developed and cultivated to a very high degree. It was no longer a matter of interpreting Aristotle, or commenting on the works of the “Old Logic”…

In his essay Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche suggests that there are two types of morality: master morality and slave morality. Slave morality values virtues like humility, sympathy and kindness. Slave morality sees opposite with noble man, who conceives ‘good’ in advance and spontaneity: the ‘bad’ and ‘evil’ originates from noble man arising out of insatiable hatred. This is the essential act of conception of slave morality (Friedrich Nietzsche sec. 11). Slave revolt in morality begins with…

The man nobody knows is a book that takes us through a Biblical view that has been misrepresented. Although it is a small book, it contains information about the person of Jesus and it has been considered as one of the most ancient religious book. (Barton 26) When I read the book, I understand the basics of the Christian religion with a deeper understanding. Barton has presented his literature in a way that suits both the ancient and the modern world. The book, which he has related to biblical…
