Reason

The picture above to me really represents two forms of argument, one known as logos (logic), and the other known as pathos (emotions or people). I believe what Apple is trying to do here is one of many things. First, it uses not necessarily sophisticated language, but that of which an educated person would primarily use over that, of say, a very uneducated person when it says “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, therefore in my eyes appealing to, but not limited to the American economic…

“post-truth” associated with the US election and the lack of truth within these elections and media. Post-Truth is essentially a euphemism for the lies and deception within society. The term is often refers to the idea of reason and rationality being overpowered by one’s emotions. The reason behind this podcast was the idea of Donald Trump providing false information towards the public. Many believe that we have entered a post-truth era as Mr. Trump’s election shifts into an authoritarian…

Over the course of history, many different ideas and ways of finding the purpose of life have been constructed, but few truly captivated and drawn the attention of a mass following. Three philosophies which have done so are those of Puritanism, Deism, and Transcendentalism. The first, emphasizing God and the strict following of his word, the second, reasoning and rationality, and the third, connecting and finding the answers to life through oneself. The canonical literature created by some of…

The Greek philosopher Aristotle explained the virtues of human character. These included courage, moderation, liberality, magnificence, and greatness of soul. Out of all the virtues he considered greatness of soul to be the preeminent virtue. Aristotle believes that virtue is something that the soul acquires and is the mean between the extremes of two opposing vices. He introduces greatness of soul as the mean between the vices of vanity and of being small souled. By expanding these vices…

Philosophy is the study of ideas. Philosophy has four main branches: Ontology, study of reality: Epistemology, study of knowledge: Ethics, The study of moral: Aesthetics, study of art and beauty. Many Philosophers like Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle etc. contributed their own knowledge so we can use their philosophy in our life. According to Sir David, Humanism focuses on personal freedom, choice and responsibility. Achievement motivation towards highest levels. Control of own Destiny. Child…

Modern political thought, the idea that the truth is the product of man is actually an invention of ancient Greek thought. Greek philosophy, and with it science and Western culture, these were largely influenced by them and laid the foundations of Western political society, our institutions and organizational values. All prerequisites for the perfect regime, what is the best ruler, what is the optimal relationship between the ruler and the people, how society should look like, who is a “citizen”…

of pessimism about the future, they still override the bad expectations with positive belief that the future will be glamorous. He summarizes the anticipation of the future as a world of dreams away from the real world. In most cases, the way we reason out on life issues is characterized by our manner of imagination. In every occurrence, the outcome can be awful or magnificent. Bearing that in mind, humans tend to convince their heart by reasoning in a positive attitude as well as imagining of…

Albert Camus addresses the steps one should take when dealing with the notion of absurdity in order to make the choice to live without appeal. In the Myth of Sisyphus, Camus defines the clash between the irrational world and humans seeking for rational answers as absurdity. He then outlines the best solution for acknowledging the lack of meaning in life while not turning to suicide. There are many parallels to his reasoning in The Plague, where he uses the threat of sickness in a quarantined…

another like English or maybe another dialect. With that being established there are currently 29,000 people who speak Pohnpeian and majority of them all live on the island or on neighbor islands. While I couldn’t necessarily pinpoint a specific reason on the endangerment of this language. I did find it interesting that the Pohnpeian language has borrowed many words from other nationalities around the world. The island was sited in 1595 by Spanish explorer, Pedro Fernandez Quiros, but…
