love (new)
Some people believe that there is no such thing as “true love” they believe that love is nothing but an illusion designed by social expectations. These people believe that love ultimately turns into pain and despair. This idea in some ways is true. Love is not eternal it will come to an end one way or another, but the aspect that separates true love from illusion, is the way love ends. “True Love” is much too powerful to be destroyed by Human imperfection; a force equal to the power of love may ...

Student Course Reflection
I have learned quite a bit over the last nine weeks. It’s nice to have a refresher course after being out of high school for so long. I remember a lot of the information covered here but I couldn’t always remember all of the tiny details that go along with them. During the nine weeks there were a couple subjects that I found more helpful than others. I am the type of person that will get frustrated very easily and when I am upset I seem to just want to drop everything until I came calm again. D...

The History of German Shepherds During the 1800’s in Europe breeders were in the process of making breeds of dogs. They wanted a dog that would have the ability to herd as well as protect flocks of sheep and other livestock. Their breeding began in Germany when they started breeding dogs with certain traits such as: intelligence, speed, strength, a keen sense of smell, and the ability to herd without injuring the livestock as well as themselves. The outcome of this selective breeding was dogs ...
Critique of the Judeo Christian God
To attempt to criticize the attributes of the deity herein question requires first to give ontology to such attributes and define them thus. Such a God possesses six particular traits I will now define: Omnipotence – That regardless of difficulty, impossibility or the laws of nature that this god can do whatever he likes, that is to be able to perform an infinite number of actions to an infinite number of objects regardless of outside factors; the concept of “impossible” doesn’t apply. Omnisci...
Utilitarianism
Immanuel Kant believes that suicide is morally wrong. He gives the following illustration regarding suicide: “A man reduced to despair by a series of misfortunes feels wearied of life. Would it be right to take his own life? Could this principle of his action become a universal law of nature? The principle would be: To shorten life when its longer duration is likely to bring more evil than satisfaction. Could this principle become a universal law of nature? Clearly not. A system of nature i...
Foucault's Crime and Punish
In Kafka's, "In the Penal Colony", he writes about a machine that delivers a very gruesome punishment that is along the lines of torture. In today's society, that type of punishment would be considered inhumane and immoral.

Kafka's objective was to show that people with limited knowledge will accept anything they are told. In...

Spencer e l'inconoscibile e la teoria dell'evoluzione
In campo filosofico, l’autore che ha trattato nel modo più esplicito possibile del mistero e dell’inconoscibile è stato Spencer; “L’inconoscibile” è infatti l’argomento da cui si originano tutte le concezioni filosofiche che formano il pensiero Spenceriano. Spencer affronta, quindi, il problema gnoseologico effettuando il primo tentativo di conciliare l’ INTUIZIONE con l’INDUZIONE. Egli afferma a tale proposito che tutto ciò che costituisce per noi una conoscenza “a priori”, ossia innata, in ...
Scientific Orientation by Heidegger's Concept of Ontotheology
Scientific Orientation by Ontotheology All realms of science are shaped not only by the information produced by their growth and development, but by the very questions directed toward the entities which occupy them. The ultimate goal of science is to understand these entities with as great of clarity as possible, and this is accomplished by methodical investigation and the accumulation of as large a knowledge-base as possible. There are moments, however, where the sought-after...

“Buddha as the Man Who Woke Up” Historically, he was born around 560 B.C. in Northern India near Benares and he was named Siddhartha Gautama of the Sakyas, because the clan to which his family belonged was Sakya. His father was a king when India was not united and perhaps he might accurately be perceived as a feudal lord in terms of the environment he provided for his son which was similar to a Scottish castle in the middle Ages. He was handsome and came from a well to do family by the standar...
