Introduction

The purpose of the following essay is to explore the fundamental aspects of the Descartes` theory on the distinctness of mind and body as formulated in the Sixth Meditation of a philosophical treatise ‘Meditations on the first philosophy’, as well as to present the objections against the Descartes` statement that the mind is distinct from the body. I would also like to briefly summarize the main points of the Sixth Meditation in regard to the existence of material things and the relation between the imagination and the pure intellection.
In the Sixth Meditation “Concerning the Existence of Material Things, Continue reading...

The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson has been one of the biggest news stories of 2014. It has led to protests all across the United States and global media has covered it extensively. The case goes beyond Michael Brown’s death, and has struck a nerve about what has become a very sensitive and charged issue. Americans are polarized on it, some have used it to demonize police in generally, but the discussion on it has led to bigger questions about systematic failures and racial discrimination in United States police forces.

General knowledge dictates that the perfected physical/visual imagery of men is one of a muscular bronze-toned body, preferably with a lot of cash on the side – as he poses in front of an expensive car – oh yes, that he owns. While it may be true that men are just as ‘at-risk’ as targets of image culture expectations as women, the ready literature on body-image culture is quite prevalent on its commentary on females. What do women, particularly in Westernized culture, worry about? Aging drives anxiety. Flabby waistlines, added pounds, and thinning hair – all normal signs of naturally moving into Continue reading...

We die twice in this lifetime. The first death comes when the last breath leaves our body, when we shuffle free of the mortal coil. The next, and most important, is when all memory of us is gone, when we are no longer even an errant thought left to float on the breeze. That is undoubtedly the worst death, the one that is lasting and cannot ever be rescinded. To be remembered by those who knew of one’s acts, their life, and their deeds, is a type of immortality that is likely the closest that humankind will ever Continue reading...

Kripke states first the principle of the necessity of origin; and then, second, the principle of essence; and finally gives an answer to the mind/body problem, given the nature of pain. For this essay, I will recount Kripke’s original response to the mind/body problem, given his support of his claims.
Kripke argues in an innovative way that one doesn't discover possible worlds, but in language, the modal realities are stipulated in such a way that how one attribute of Roger, for example, in one possible world can be compared with the attributes of another. What stays the same? Continue reading...

The decorative art of France of the eighteenth century seems to command a lot of attention. The one big reason for this could be the objects that were there then, reward close scrutiny. Their studies by scholars have not only led to the formal appreciation of their former complexity, but also to how they shaped sporadic and social experiences.

Being accepted within a community of peers is important to many people my age, and, as far as I can tell, to all people regardless of age. Every child wants to be with other kids that want to play with him/her; so, he/she will do anything to feel welcome in the small community of other peers. While growing up, people make decisions and according to them, they belong to groups. These groups have rules that every member should abide by, to be considered equal –and sometimes worthy- of being a member. Bottom line, we all want to belong somewhere, Continue reading...

Introduction Increasing public awareness on eco-friendly burials would benefit the world as a whole by preserving nature. An environmentally friendly burial system should be implemented in North America in order to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional burials. In the article “'Til Death Do We Pollute, and Beyond” the authors argue that the best way to ensure human burials are not hazardous to the environment is to “establishment of federal guidelines” that ban the practice of situating cemeteries on sites where there is a risk of contaminating the surrounding area (Guttman, Miller, & Watson, 2013, p. 3). Many environmentally conscious Continue reading...

Abstract

The subject of ‘self-harming behavior’ has been widely studied by Tantam and Whittaker in Bhugra & Munro (1997) ed. ‘Troublesome Disguises: Under-diagnosed.’ In their review of literature, Tantam and Whittaker observed that the tendency to inflict self-harm began at an early age and in some cases as early as childhood. Though this sounds quite surprising, it can be observed that children begin to ‘try’ new things like drinking, smoking and using marijuana at school and with friends at social meetings and parties. Initially, they take it for fun and later, because of its constant use, they fall prey to its Continue reading...

Experts have gone back and forth on the topic of the possible health benefits of coffee versus the health problems it causes. On the whole, most experts will admit that coffee in small doses does not cause damage. Some experts will go so far as to say there are potential health benefits to coffee, primarily in its anti-oxidant effects.
Unfortunately, when we discuss coffee we are generally not talking about the moderate amounts that cause no harm. The truth is caffeine is an addictive drug that requires ever larger doses to create its desired effect. Additionally, when researchers are Continue reading...

In biological terms, stress refers to responses by organisms to stressors that could be environmental stimuli or conditions (Heidenreich, 2009). It is usually a way in which individual’s bodies respond to challenges by means of the activation of the sympathetic nervous systems.

I intend to discuss the nature of self and the conflicting theories of the French philosopher Rene Descartes and the English philosopher Derek Parfit. Firstly I will be briefly outlining Descartes theory of self and then I will be discussing Parfit’s theory and highlighting areas in which it has similarities and where it contrasts to establish whether or not the two philosophers have a shared idea of the self.
The French philosopher Descartes looked for the nature of man in the existence of god. What he asks in a nutshell is; ‘Is what I believe a product of Continue reading...

Introduction

Cosmetic surgery is typically performed to accurate a physical oddity or to improve an otherwise usual physical characteristic and, so, recover a person's look. It's a tremendously wide field that can propose reconstructive surgical procedure for a patient following a destructive burn or additional physical disturbance, yet may also be accustomed to flat out wrinkles, make bigger breasts, or reshape the nose. In the recent past, this was restricted only to the surgery that it was completely essential to the healthiness and happiness of that patient, for example skin-grafting for solemn burns, repairing a busted jaw or nose, reconstructing Continue reading...

Physical appearance has long been linked to happiness - as social creatures, we communicate to each other nonverbally, and so we often give off the impression of happiness if we present ourselves in a way that is visually appealing to others. Likewise, that feeling is often reciprocated by these others, allowing us to feel good about ourselves because we look good. You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether Continue reading...

Philosophy and psychology are two disciplines and principles in our day to day living that have sought to understand and explain the various aspects in our day to day living that directly and indirectly affect our day to day living. However, it is necessary to note that the two, independent disciplines have constantly differed in their opinions towards various topics and subjects. This is, mainly, due to the fact that both have different approaches to these two fields. Consequently, the different perceptions from which they view the common topic lead to differences in their opinions and conclusions, which in Continue reading...

Human cloning issue is not new to us. It has been topic of debates for many years now, refuting whether or not this type of procedure will be beneficial to human race.

When the great Napoleon utter these words, little does he know that in future in the visual era, pictures are going to rules the text and will do a great work in shaping our culture.

In the world around us, there are some things that people take for granted that they should not. In order to truly achieve an accurate picture of one’s reality, they must remain doubtful of it and weigh it against empirical philosophies in order to validate every aspect of it. Rene Descartes was the originator of Cartesian doubt, a method of skepticism that allows one to cast into doubt the validity of what one believes. According to Descartes, one needs to never take anything for granted; no matter what one believes, one must never take it as gospel, and Continue reading...

Throughout the world, more and more people are caring about outward appearances, without giving proper thought to the consequences. The outward appearances of youngsters can be influenced by new information technology or media. However, another important factor concerned with body-image is that of health, but many people ignore this in favour of outward appearance. At the same time, people spend a great deal of time and money fixing things that they believe they physically lack. In my opinion, this is a bad habit of human beings. Every person has the right to want beauty, but beauty has many levels. Continue reading...

Some of the therapies were found to be common in more than one community with most of the communities coming from the Asian continent. The Continue reading...

Reductionism is the application of deductive logic to formal scientific systems that eliminates obsolete or unnecessary theories, while still incorporating older ones that had been verified into the new synthesis. In psychology, for example, a physicalist would reduce the concept of mind to brain and various mental and emotional states to biological processes (Jones 145). Thomas Nagel thought that the earliest examples of reductionism during the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th Centuries were the most successful. This era of history produced many examples of homogeneous reductionism, such as the ancient theories of bodily humors giving Continue reading...

The sculpture entitled “Right to the Jaw” created by artist Mahonri M. Young in 1926 actually depicted two bronze figures in the actual act of boxing . The figures clad only in boxing shorts and boxing gloves, are sculpted as convoluted images where muscles in their legs and arms were carefully crafted; and where rib cages, collar bones, and intricate facial features effectively protrude. The figure of the boxer on the right could interpreted as the recipient of the right jab; where the right hand of the boxer sculpted at the left portion had apparently slid on top of the Continue reading...

In "Fashion and Flesh: The Images We Project," the author notes the media's inundation of images of men and women, and particular emotions that are instilled regarding body types. For example, women with larger body types are vilified as unattractive, while there seems to be a direct correlation between thinness and attractiveness with women. There exists, however, a double standard, as men's body types are not given as negative a stigma. The author's point about the media's role in the establishment of these attitudes is very much an accurate and dangerous aspect of our culture; the perpetuation of increasingly Continue reading...

Analysis of the House in E. A. Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”

Edgar Allan Poe’s renowned short story, entitled “The Fall of the House of Usher,” is a story with typical characteristics of the Gothic genre, depicting an ancient, crumbling mansion, whose inhabitants haunt its hallways and rooms, and where the protagonist enters the scene, in an effort to save the damsel in distress, Madeline, from an early entombment done by her ill brother. However, in an effort to buttress this idea of claustrophobia and an unspoken, unmentionable terror, Poe depicts the Usher house as an indivisible part of the inhabitants themselves. The house is not only their dwelling place, Continue reading...
