Presupposition

Throughout the book Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates sways in the idea of the struggles he went through to find his identity and his position in America as a Black man. However, in pages 60 to 90, Ta-Nehisi Coates makes it evident that the experiences who once made him struggle to find his identity, ended up being what defined his character. Those same experiences were ingrained in Coates being, so much so that he knew how were the lives of those who were born in a black body. Coates…

When, for instance, astronomers are making claims on what they are observing, they are subject to logical critique as well as one’s concerning the observations themselves. Any presupposition, unforeseen consequence, or logical failure is equally a barrier to truth as failures or limitations of observation. (Markus, 809) Biasing any understanding on a bundle of ideas, which correspond to “what is” would lack nuance in use. To say --…

Balthasar, Hans Urs Von, and Brian McNeil. Explorations in Theology: Creator Spirit. Vol. III. San Francisco, Calif: Ignatius, 1993. Print. In section II, chapters two and seven of Explorations in Theology: Creator Spirit, Balthasar provides us with a particular Johannine oriented pneumatology. The bulk of his argument seems to be situating the Holy Spirit within an understanding of the Holy Trinity, which establishes the Spirit as truly divine, rejecting any notions to just reduce the Holy…

The moralization of the feeling of disgust has been the unsound premise of many arguments about the ethics of homosexuality. In the case of homosexuality the argument has lost much of its once strong persuasive power, however in the case of necrophilia our moral intuitions appear not to have shifted quite so much. Moreover, there seem to be no sound arguments against homosexuality, and thus, when the same arguments are applied to necrophilia their logical consistency is no stronger. This essay…

In general, discourse is the indispensable unit of the human world. It is analyzed variously to arrive at a harmonious conclusion. The contemporary scholars and critics have emphasized upon the ways of analyzing this discourse. What is said, what should be said, and what is appropriate to say provide the basis of this discourse number of theories for analyzing discourse, which means the assessment of the creative use of language. Speech-act theory is one of the theory to operate each minute…

Good evening and thank you so much for coming out tonight. We will begin in just a moment with opening statements but before we do I would like to introduce each of our presenters this evening. Dr. A. K. Moravec is a name that you all know. He is a scientist, author and he teaches here at M.I.T.

Michael Bowman is an evangelical pastor from Deerfield,…

regards to The Tribulation is beyond the scope of this book. I have always favored a pre-tribulational rapture; the removing of God’s believers before the seven-year time period known as the tribulation. I will make my deductions based on that presupposition and leave it to the reader do…

when we are learning to perform than when we are learning to understand what is being communicated to us. Reflection enables us to correct distortions in our beliefs and errors in problem-solving. Critical reflection involves a critique of the presuppositions on which our beliefs have been built. Learning may be defined as ‘the process of making a new or revised interpretation of the meaning of an experience, which guides subsequent understanding, appreciation, and action’. Mezirow, (1987). In…

Introduction: Originally, I’d hoped this research project to be an analysis of the Western media response to the Ebola outbreak. As my research carried on, I focused the study on the stark limitations and biases of the popular discourse present in regards to the cultural epidemiology and understanding on the situation. Understanding the media response is critical to understanding how Westerners construct Ebola and it terms their response to the disease. Moreover, a persistent theme of the…

Baptism has been an important part of the church for centuries. Unfortunately, baptism has also caused many arguments and controversies in the church for centuries. Since baptism is such an important part of the church, the individual believer, and the believer’s family, it seems right for there to be no arguments about it. However, different beliefs on what baptism truly signifies and different beliefs about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments have in part caused these arguments…
