Pragmatic theory of truth

difficult to work with and it is hard for many Western countries to accept the fact that in order to help the development of a country, they might have to sit across the table from a leader who constantly executes his own people. This is the most pragmatic response. Easterly is certainly correct when he says that democratic government is the best way to increase development at a faster rate in many Third World countries, but there is the constant problem of the fact that a democratic revolution…

Belgium. Both countries are members of European Union and are monarchies, so the political beliefs of both nations could be very similar. To make proper culture analysis we will use Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimension model. According to Hofstede’s theory we can use four primary dimensions for differentiating cultures. It is power distance, individualism, masculinity and…

is a book written in 1949, set 35 years into the future, that attempted to show what life would have looked like in a world in evil and chaos. The government stayed in power by using violence and force, by rewriting history everyday, distorting the truth and brainwashing the people to venality. Many people argue that the genre of 1984 is science fiction, but the only reason is because the time period of the book is laid out in the future. Winston Smith, the main protagonist is a low class…

church did not understand something it would often be deemed as the devil. For example when I was reading the story of what happened to Galileo, could see the members at my grandmother’s church condemning him, because they did not understand the theories that he discovered. My mother told me when she became pregnant with me at age 18; the leaders at church asked her to sit the back of the church because of her sin. Growing as a child I thought we say in the back because the was my mother…

Eagleton jumps right into the essay with various ideas and theories. He first examines if literature is inventive fiction or just reality. Literature cannot be just the sort of as it spans from newspapers to philosophical treatises to novels and poems. While newspapers perhaps…

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s The Poet remains one of the most influential works in American Critical Theory. It is an essay so finely wrought and intricately layered that it borders at times on unapproachable, not because of the difficulty of its theory (though this is a serious work of high academia), but because of its vast spread. Arguments are dislocated across the work, conclusions are divorced from their premises by pages. Yet the work never strays to the ecstatic fervor of Nature and is salvaged…

In modern times religion and science are increasingly becoming viewed as incompatible, or at least non-overlapping. Damien Keown states that “Scientific discoveries, and theories such as evolution, have challenged many traditional Christian teachings…” at the expense of making them appear “...dogmatic, irrational, and backward-looking” (119). Despite its brief history in the West, Buddhism has gained increasing popularity in part due to its frequent portrayal as an exception to the conflict…

In this week’s journal, the discussion focuses on identifying a right versus right moral dilemma and a right versus wrong moral dilemma. In addition, the discussion addresses theories of moral reasoning (i.e. Kant’s rule-based morality). This discussion is well timed as I’ve recently identified the moral reasoning theory that resonates with me. In reading the articles assigned for this week, there are several examples provided for both types. These examples allowed me to consider my experiences…
