Rationality

before Stevenson’s novella, no one had explored it with the depth that Stevenson did (Davis 11). Literature focused around split identity was “one of the privileged ways of exploring the mysteries of the modern self, a subjectivity marked less by rationality, order, and coherence than by dream, nightmare, and psychical multiplicity” (Davis 11); this makes the story a gothic novella. With the feel of a gothic tale, and the structure of a case study, Stevenson created a new form of literature that…

Caesar stands firm on his presence in front of the Senate. As history showed, Caesar was stabbed to death by fellow members of the Senate, ending his life with the famous quote, “Et tu, Brute?” (III.i.5). Pride oftentimes clouds one’s judgment and rationality in a situation, a clear theme that…

Although Suzuki used the other two modes of persuasion effectively, she did not efficiently demonstrate the use of the mode logos, logical argument, throughout her speech. Aristotle describes logos as the techniques that have the power to persuade. The speaker used a diagram and one personal experience as an example in order to illustrate her use of logos in her argument. However, the diagram and experience did not sufficiently illustrate logos because she did not provide new evidence for the…

goal was to limit the potential catastrophic and very costly nuclear arms race. Both sides had plenty of weapons to destroy the other side at any moment when the negotiations began in the late 1960’s. SALT negotiations purpose was to bring some rationality and control to the arms race. The very first SALT treaty was signed in May of 1972. Its purpose was: a limit on the deployment of strategic weapons with a range of 6,000 miles or more. Included in this were the intercontinental bomber forces…

offer;everything it had to show. While standing feet away admiring how raw the natural beauty was, the urge grew almost irrepressible, wanting to inch forward simply because it had the effect of drawing you closer and barely being able to listen to rationality because you don't want to miss out on something so grand. The spark of flames strongly contrasted the otherwise pitch black scenery, save for the small amount of moonlight that was exhibited. The flames easily outdid…

hard to fill them, so instead one tends to fill these spaces with faith. What characterizes faith is the absolute uncertainty that follows behind it. Faith is understood as something that cannot be disapproved. Instead of focusing everything on rationality, we should focus more on faith because reason has no place in faith. That is why I agree with Kierkegaard and believe his argument is…

What is Human Nature? A critique of the utopian ideal Hsun Tzu famously claimed that humans are evil, and although I wouldn’t opt for such emotive terminology, I believe that he was on the right lines. Humans are not evil; but they are inherently bad. Evil suggests something much more sinister, a plotting mind with a purpose for destruction. Rather, the process of evolution has determined human nature as innate and selfish, with survival and self-preservation an unconscious priority. I…
