    • 4 Pages

    Euclid’s work, Elements, is based around the early mathematical understanding of what is present day geometry. The work begins with definitions.

    Is Evil Good Or Bad

    • 1254 Words
    • 6 Pages

    based on simple word definition, the term “evil” is best described as “morally reprehensible; sinful, wicked, arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.” (Merriam Webster) However, this is simply a Standard Definition, and is thus excessively exclusive in nature. For that reason, it may also be characterized as a Qualifying Definition, though in either case the description is relatively direct and specific, leaving little to no room for further contemplation or discussion. Despite…

    In the dialogue Euthyphro, Socrates inquires into the nature of piety and goodness by questioning Euthyphro, whom Socrates deems to be somewhat of an expert on moral matters.

I will argue that perhaps these two…

The definition of a true friend has changed over time. “The Japanese have a term, Kenzoku, which translated means “family”. The connotation suggests a bond between people who’ve made a similar commitment and share a similar destiny. It implies the presence of the deepest connection of friendship, of lives lived as comrades from the distant past.” (Lickerman, Alex. “The True Meaning of Friendship.” Psychology…

    The Character of Work The simple definition of work as provided by Meriam-Webster is “a job or activity that you do regularly, especially in order to earn money” (Work, n.d.). While, this is a simple definition of work, I believe it is not the type of work that defines a person but their work character which defines them. To understand the importance of what one does to earn a living, and whether or not work defines them, one should explore these ideas through the works of Dorothy Sayers,…

    In terms of a nominal definition, we look at class as a specific system used throughout society, which divides people based on their social or economic status. We will also be measuring this term using qualitative data. In order to better measure class, it is important that we focus on the empirical indicators associated with it, specifically, one’s economic net worth, as well as their cultural and political status within society. With these, we are able to form an operational definition, which…

    Socrates introduces the Guardian, Auxiliary, and Systemic class in addition to Justice. In this Socrates finally offers his own definition of justice.
