One of the most important physical properties of molecules is their chirality, or lack thereof which is known as achirality. Chirality is defined as the ability of a molecule to exist in two no superimposable images called enantiomers. This means that achirality is the opposite, in which molecule is superimposable on its mirror image. When two molecules are related in the fact that they are stereoisomers of each other, but are not mirror images. In nature chiral molecules do not exist in their…

process what your mind is doing. Your mind is thinking, as it holds feelings, emotions, secrets, and personal thoughts. Your mind and brain are connected and placed in your head as the most important elements of your body. Your mind is in tune with your soul, whereas your brain is in tune with your body's functions. To keep a healthy mind, you must obtain your personal identity. Your personal identity overall describes your sense of “self.” Self is your consciousness, and our way of holding each…

Rene Descartes proposes a variant of substance dualism that maintains the equal and distinct existence of physical and mental substances. Descartes (1641) discusses that bodies are physical substances because they extend outward and occupy spatial regions while the human mind is a mental substance because it cannot extend through space (P.165). Descartes also notes fundamental differences on their activities; the human body is passive because it cannot think while the mind can handle complex…

Ganli Demyttenaere PHL. 101 PEQ Artifact John Martin Fischer: Why Immortality Is Not So Bad.

Likes the waves, times sometimes appears repetitive and nearly motionless, but it also has a violent and entropic nature that calls attention to the impermanence of human life by threatening…

Fate: Discussing the Extent and Purpose of Free Will in Oedipus One of the most multisided philosophical debates can be sparked simply by asking "Are we free?" It's a question that we've been grappling for thousands of years. Sophocles uses Oedipus to ask questions about fate, free will, and how they can possibly exist together. In ancient Greek, the word for fate was Moira, defined by Homer as an impersonal power and sometimes makes its functions interchangeable with those of the Olympian gods.…

The bodily exercises are necessary because it is believed that the mortal body is only a cocoon TB166 and that the spirit needs a vessel „to lodge in“, because if the Taoist can not reach the level of transcendence were the spirit can ascend to heaven and his body dies beforehand, he can not reach immortality, thus the body needs to be preserved.

Jordan Mashal Professor Landers PHI 344 24 Septemeber 2017 Dualism Prompt 1: The central claim of substance dualism relies on the non identity of the mind and the body. Gotfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, a German philosopher, articulated a law that defines the notion of identity as: for any x and y, if x is identical to y, then x and y have all the same properties. Further, any two things that have all and only the same properties as one another are identical to each other. Finally, if there is…
