... ood or evil, and that one should subside to
their natural instinct, whatever it may be. Pascal
detected the fallible state of nature and man as
well. He differed from La Mettrie and others,
however, because he believed that the only relief
from the ills of society and circumstance of life
was in faith in God, not reason. Rousseau too
believed that culture was artificial, that it was
constructed by society and not natural. Rousseau,
however, still believed that culture should
transcend an ind...

Meaning Of Life God Created
891 words
My beliefs on the meaning of life in religion and
interpretation of such things. In approaching the
question of 'the meaning of life' we have to
examine the nature of meaning itself. Meaning, is
by definition the point, or the intended goal.
Consider the point of humans and the universe as
seen from monotheistic religion. If life and the
universe is some sort of toy or form of
entertainment for some greater being, his point,
his own entertainment, would then be the meaning
of humans and the univ...

State Of Ignorance Socratic Dialogues Socrates

... nt, this divinity asserts the futility of
human knowledge. Socrates could not expect for his
interlocutor to be capable of true definition, as

Compulsive Fun Seekers Defense Mechanisms Person
711 words
All people use defense mechanisms, whether they be
consciously or unconsciously. Anxiety may arise
from an intense situation or even past experience.
It is then the ego's job to displace anxiety so as
to protect the rest of the mind. Through defense
mechanisms such as sublimation, repression,
fantasy, compulsive fun-seeking, and negativism,
the ego eliminates anxiety caused by surroundings
which in effect tries to prevent insanity. Fantasy
is a device used to thwart reality. It involved
the imag...

Tyler Durden Alter Ego

The movie, Fight Club, has many themes dealing
with some of the class-discussed vocabulary.
Through a scene by scene, and dialogue-based
analysis of the movie, I have found that these
themes are emphasized through discussions,
interactions, and non-dialogue scenes between the
main character, his imaginary sidekick and the
society that has had such effect on the main
character. Some of these themes or topics that are
shared by both the movie and the class vocabulary
appear randomly, sporadically,...

Studies On Hysteria Brother In Law
1,824 words
Aristotle once stated in Metaphysics that, All men
by nature desire Knowledge. If one accepts the
claim that knowledge is power, then it will be
logical to assert that all people want power. The
person or persons that have knowledge also acquire
the power of that knowledge. In Michel Foucault's
Discipline and Punish he clearly shows the
power-knowledge relationship that is prevalent in
society both on the large and small scale, and how
these affect society as a whole. Whereas, Sigmund
Freud who ...

Mark Antony Three Times

In the book Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare,
Cassius and the conspirators depicted Caesar as
being ambitious. He was also said to not be
ambitious by Mark Antony. He was, however,
ambitious. This is because he refused the crown
three times, he did not listen to the warnings
that people gave him throughout the book, and he
did not end the punishment he placed upon Metellus
Cimber? s brother, Publius Cimber. These were all

Katherine Mansfield's short story Miss Brill is an
extremely good example of how a writer can use
different literary aspect to bring about an
understanding of Miss Brill the character. The use
of literary aspects to reveal some truth about a
character to the reader are often referred to as
