Deeply rooted in philosophy, the correspondence view of reality and truth is the typical way of thinking in society. Reality in this model may look like the following thought process: Reality is the correspondence between what is in the outside world and what is in the viewer’s head. Reality is independent of the subject, but the experience of reality is dependent on the subject. It is independent because objects in reality exist as they are without the experience of observers. This ontology…

Although many describe truth’s effectiveness as mountain-crumbling, perhaps the intrinsic value of truth is romanticized. This is not to say that falsehood automatically has more power than the truth; simply that, in a given context, perhaps, the sole knowledge of the truth would fail to convert an obstinate and cruel audience to righteousness. In such a situation, the power of truth’s possessors eclipses the intrinsic power of the truth to maintain morality and to eradicate evil falsehoods.…

When it comes to Nicholas of Cusa and Rene Descartes and their ideas of the infinite, the differences are many while the similarities are few. Nicholas of Cusa, who lived from 1401 to 1464, recognized the open-ended, positive aspect of nature which later led him to view the infinite as a never-ending circle; a changing and developing circle that is. In contrast, Rene Descartes, who lived from 1596 to 1650, struggled with trusting whether or not the world even exists outside of the private ego—to…

Socrates should be found guilty of impiety. Fellow aristocrats, we understand the nature of piety and impiety with greater clarity than most Athenians. To be pious is to honor and respect the gods, and to do so earns the love of the gods. It is clear Socrates does not meet these criteria for numerous reasons, however, one is particularly prominent: Socrates challenged the oracle by actively trying to refute the Pythia’s prophecy regarding him. Socrates himself presented this information, and…

1. What moral issues does the Pinto case raise? The Pinto case raises many moral issues. First, the case states that Ford knew of the faults of the Pinto and continued to sell them – even after they failed testing. Next, the company used a cost-benefit analysis that put a price on human lives in comparison to the amount they would have to pay to fix the issue. Ford was also involved in many lawsuits; however, they were never charged of crime but rather paid money to those impacted. Ultimately,…

3.4. Reasonableness/Arbitrariness/Discrimination The Tecmed Tribunal expressly accepted that arbitrariness and discrimination could not be reconciled with the FET standard. The Tribunal in Pope & Talbot frequently referred to the reasonableness of the conduct of a State or its organ to rule out a violation of the FET standard. Benedict and Schill are of the opinion that there is a link between the concepts of reasonableness and proportionality on one hand and the permissibility of States right…

The question of existence has been the topic of discussions, debates, and writings for many centuries. The eyes are driven to see what they want to believe, creating an illusion of things that sometimes is not truly there. It is often quoted that “perception is reality”, but perception is subjective. Individuals tend to see things differently, therefore isn’t their reality seen differently? Oftentimes, people are comfortable in their ignorance, and hostile to anyone who points it out. Within…

6.) For Kant, what is the one thing that can be taken as good without qualification? And what is a deontologist and what is important to them? The one thing that can be taken as good without qualification is “good will”. I completely agree with this, an action made solely for the right reason and that is freely made with no strings attached is good no matter how you look at it, it is pure and unselfish. Deontologists, are guided by rules and principles in life. It is important for them to…

The definitions of philosophy and religion that he provides are important to the rest of his writing, as his…
