Malleus Maleficarumgg in its content is a pretty cruel treatise. Heinrich Kramer tries to prove that the witchcraft is real and has demonic nature and that women are more likely to use such powers to hurt people – usually men – than men themselves. Heinrich Kramer was an inquisitor, therefore, it is more than understandable that he had a desire to let such beliefs and stereotypes live. Thus, it is not a surprise that preoccupied with men’s virility and the role women play in either “weakening”…

Adam Smith said “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.” Smith is saying that not every society is fair. There will be some people that are happy and some people that do not have as much. The gap between the rich and the poor is too large.

Once the regime changed, Niccolo Machiavelli, the Second Chancellor of the Republic of Florence, fell under serious false accusations of…

and justification of Locke’s argument regarding private property using natural rights as its main justification and how other factors influence natural right. That being said, the reasoning and arguments that contradict and critique Locke’s ‘Second Treatise of Government’ are more convincing and bring to light important considerations such as how Locke’s views seem to contradict him with his sole justification of natural rights when money enters the equation there is also a flaw and or a lack of…

Docetism, which Placher defines as “the denial of Christ’s real humanity,” is presented as an overarching theme in Gnosticism (Placher 4). In The Second Treatise of the Great Seth Jesus displaces an earthly man from his body, thereby implying that the body he occupies is not his own. Also, Jesus states that while the people around him saw him being punished, they were unknowingly punishing their own people and Jesus was at the height of the archons laughing at their obliviousness (Placher 5).…
