Regress argument

religion is a multidimensional practice that goes beyond simple sociological or anthropological paradigms. Despite such merit in his intent, Schleiermacher fails in achieving such expansion of analysis in the study of religion by falling back on arguments that render religion academically unapproachable and moreover, vulnerable to critiques of the Enlightenment period. Through his chapters on “Defence,” “The Nature of Religion,” and “The Religious,” Schleiermacher is unable to provide an…

achieved as a moral code, our structure of society must be changed. In this paper, I will argue that Peter Singer adequately presents his argument. I will also raise an objection to his argument and state his refutation of that objection. The objection raised is that charity and duty are separated by a line in our society which conflicts with Peter Singer’s argument. In the essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” Peter Singer addresses the idea that people…

A Critique of Epicurus’s Argument about Death Kejia Jiang Word count: 1419 As the founder of Epicureanism, Greek philosopher Epicurus presented the view that it is irrational to fear or hate death and death is not a misfortune for one who dies. The main idea he used to defend his argument was that no one will feel painful while dead, therefore death is not a bad thing for people and there is no need to fear it. At the first glance, the argument may seem to be plausible. However,…

with the argument Thompson makes in her essay,’ A defense of Abortion,’ that abortion is; morally permissible in the instance of rape or possible health complications that would endanger the life of the mother, and morally permissible in other circumstances due to the mother’s right to her own body outweighing the child’s right to live in the circumstance that the parents took the appropriate precautions to prevent pregnancy. Thompson’s violinist case provides a strong conclusive argument for…

There are various effective arguments I would make to support students having homework by their teachers. The first argument I would make is that homework helps students to better retain the lessons they’ve learned during the school day. Students need a lot of exercises to do to retain what they learn everyday in school. Since class time isn’t enough to provide a lot of exercises on one subject, homework is the best way to exercise what’s been learned in class. If no homework is given to…

In Sarah E. Newton’s article, ““The Jell-O Syndrome”: Investigating Popular Culture/Foodways,” she focuses on Jell-O and the connections it has with folklore and popular culture. It begins with the argument that Jell-O has received relatively little attention for the amount of influence it has had. She claims that it is the only commercial food to cross regional and ethnic lines (Newton 250). Newton makes several bold claims at the beginning of her article. One of these claims is, “To many of us…

resentful of death, he argues, since they have wanted and practiced for it a long time (64a–68a). In this paper I shall present Socrates’ argument for this conclusion and critically evaluate it. The argument appears to commit the fallacy of equivocation. But I think Socrates’ argument can be salvaged by very slightly reformulating it. Nevertheless, the argument tacitly assumes that the soul is immortal and survives the body’s death. Without a defense of this controversial…
