There are two important ways in which Dewey’s pragmatism differs from these conventional approaches. First, there is the issue of incommensurability. Despite their differences, deontological and consequential approaches actually have something in common. Both approaches use a single criterion to determine…

When comparing the methods of political control in Han China (206BCE-220CE) and Imperial Rome (31BCE-476CE), there were many similarities and differences. One way in which they were similar was that both governments were actively engaged in an economic activity which was designed to ensure a stable, working political and social order.

attempts to clarify why “subjectivism” might be perceived as problematic in standpoint theory as a methodological unit of analysis (Hekman, 1997).

Into the Wild Essay: I respectfully disagree with Shaun Callarman's assessment of Chris McCandless. While it is true that McCandless made some questionable decisions that ultimately led to his tragic death, I believe his story is more nuanced and deserving of a more sympathetic understanding. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that McCandless was a complex individual who was driven by a deep desire for self-discovery and a rejection of the materialistic and conformist values of modern…
