Skepticism

golf course with a lot of edginess, Whistling Straits. When the course was first being erected, everyone knew that it was going to be something special because of the world renown designer undertaking the project, Pete Dye. Nonetheless there was skepticism about the golf courses potential, considering they were going for a rugged and sloping style course and it was being constructed from a low lying, pancake flat, abandoned, military base. Of course there was some undeniable potential…

United States. Despite the apparent fictional and mythological perception of Alchemy, it has been confirmed how “the simple substances were not simple and that… atoms were compound bodies.” Similarly, certain modern critics of science, viewed with skepticism the prevailing discoveries of Alchemy because it defined nature in a complex manner composed of a multitude of elementary building blocks. Alchemy has been seen as a complex unidentifiable pseudoscience due to the fact that the most famous…

Throughout his young childhood he believed in god but not in a interventionist way where religious denomination comes in play. In his autobiography his religious practices and readings made him feel skeptical towards religion as he grows this sense of skepticism, others…

not believe through faith alone. So, within his writing Thomas is seeking ways on how to prove God exists using logic. While as a rationalist, Descartes saw reason as his primary source of knowledge. And, using his Meditations, mathematics, and skepticism sought to prove a higher substance (God) had to exist. Historically, not much is know if Descartes truly believed in God, or for the sake of being published hid his atheism. Aquinas argues that the only way to prove God exists is through reason…

Everyone knows the meaning of philosophy; the love of wisdom, but does everyone know that we are philosophers every day of our lives? In the book “What does it all mean?” Nagel discuses plenty of strong arguments on many topics. Some of them being, “How do we know anything?”, “Free will”, and “The meaning of life”. Nagel has discussed these three topics based on human nature, our perception, and the external world. One of the topics, “How do we know anything?” relates to what exists in one’s…

Mitch Rapp is a trained killing machine, eager to attack any mission the CIA presents him with. He was born with the skill set: his athletic build, his nonchalant appearance during stressful situations, and his ever so scrupulous mind ☺. Although Mitch Rapp has all of the goods to go along with this job, it was not any easy path form him to attain his current status as an assassin. Stan Hurley (Mitch’s trainer and later partner) did not believe in him from the start, but Mitch was determined to…

better way to communicated that he wasn’t in agreeance with the indulgences going on. He took a fairly passive-aggressive way of going about the whole thing. He posted the theses on the door and just waited for someone to find them. Now there is some skepticism about whether or not he actually nailed it on the door, but it was posted or sent somewhere and traveled throughout the continent quickly. On the Pope’s part, Luther should not have been killed. He already had been excommunicated, but…

studied American Culture. In this post Bernstein seems like he is against the anti-vaccination community. In the post he writes “Vaccination rates in Canada, like those in United States, have waned in some communities, mostly as a result of increased skepticism about the dangers of immunization that have spread on the Internet despite overwhelming scientific evidence that vaccines are safe and effective.” He talks about how the United States and Canada have been affected by both the measles and…

John Kennedy is one of the current frontrunners for the Republican party in the race for senate in Louisiana. The Republican lawyer is a graduate of the University of Virginia and is currently the state treasurer. Mr. Kennedy has been endorsed by many conservative state officials and, judging by his website, he is quite proud of that. Mr. Kennedy strongly believes that Islamic terrorism will be the death of our country. I disagree simply because Islamic terrorism isn’t the only kind of…

Asterios Polyp, by David Mazzucchelli, is a vast and profound book. It embraces with elegantly the faces of solitude, love and dualism, among so many other aspects. Mainly, I would like to talk about dualism. This book presents a spectrum of personalities that contrast with the protagonist’s, Asterios Polyp. He is an architect who perceives the world, primarily, in its fundamental shapes. He notices the lines and ignores the form (accented aspect of the characters’ drawings,) in every possible…
