(He concludes that he is not only a thinking substance, but he is also able to doubt, understand and will; along with being able to have ‘sensory perceptions’. This could be a result of the meditator 's supposed physical sensory organs triggering responses in his mind. The mind and body working together enables him to question the senses in which he believes he is experiencing. This brings forward the philosophical concept of Cartesian Dualism. A concept proffered by Descartes, in which he argues that the nature of the mind, a

I will explain both philosopher’s methods when it comes to viewing the everyday world, talk about their similarities and differences, and then choose Descartes’s method regarding Rationalism. I agree with Descartes method a lot more than Plato’s because I feel that inborn knowledge is a form of deception and escaping your reality, like Plato would suggest, would only leave you to be deceived even more. Both Plato and Descartes believe in Rationalism, and they also fear uncertainty. These two philosophers want to answer the same basic question, “What is the difference between opinion and certainty” (Palmer 39). Plato believes that all

Sartre brings up a lot of different topics in his writing, but they all relate to the main idea of existentialism. Existentialism is that it is up to us to find our purpose or our essence by being authentic to our own nature. Existentialism says that existence precedes essence, so we are born first and it is up to us to find our purpose in the world. Self-deception and psychoanalysis is the ability to lie oneself and to others to create positive reinforcement to oneself. Sartre also writes about being-in-the-world and taking up a role that affects our freedom.

One of the hottest concepts or a matter of discussion in the field of philosophy is that of “truth.” Several theories tried to explain it including the Pragmatic Theory and Correspondence theory; however they are all agree that talking about the truth is a very difficult topic to be discussed about. In this paper, I am going to explore the concept of truth in the light of the Correspondence Theory by identifying its major strengths and weaknesses. The correspondence theory is the one that most people would more likely rely on or agree about, but it contains plenty of problems or non-answered questions.

The way Tao - confusiam vs chuang tzu ideas Chantelle Arbic When examining Taoism and Confucianism they might appear to be different, or conflicting one another.

Tao described as “The way” two both philosophers have a different meaning and even a different view point. Throughout this essay the reader should gain and understanding of both philosophers idea of the way, and see the contrast of similarities and differences between them.

However, Carneades went beyond Arcesilaus in numerous respect. It is worth noting that Carneades set forth his own argument in favor of views which sometimes had never been defended before, whit aim of counterbalancing the dogmatists’ argument and exhibit that none of their conclusions can be established exclusively, rather than simply arguing against other philosophers’ positive position. By doing that, he made crucial contribution to numerous philosophical debates. In addition, he presented a more detailed skeptical criterion of what to believe to pithonon, which implies either the probable or the

The debate between free will is and determinism is an important aspect of many disciplines, for example, psychology, religion, and philosophy.

Hatice Çayır 2012202009 Phil 341 THE MORAL GOODNESS IN PLATO AND KANT Ethics, as a one of the main branchs of philosophy, has many concerns.

Comparing the ways in which these non-conformists are represented After analyzing the way in which the non-conformists of the two literary works are represented by the authors, it is now vital to compare and contrast the two, in order to build up a more powerful conclusion as a response to our research question by the end of this essay. Both writers try to express the kind of feeling that is experienced by a non-conformist in a society which is controlled through conformity. They both resemble in terms of sacrificing some indispensable human interrelations such as love and friendship, to the cause of unconformity and also destroying some of the most important human qualities to the price of conformity. For instance in the book of Rhinoceros, the love between Daisy and Beranger is totally ignored by Daisy as she gets fooled by the conformity; teased to become like the others, a wild rhinoceros, making life much easier for herself, abandoning Beranger, the one who really loves her, in a world with all its people transformed into Rhinoceroses. The same kind of love being scarified to the cause of conformity can be found in “1984”, when Julia and Winston giving up on each other, under the violent torturing of the government of the Big brother so that they will live the rest of their life under the prescriptions of the Big brother who asks them to be obedient and loyal to the three motifs of the country:

They used different scales and the explaining of the data was influenced by different psychological theories, which then made an impact on the conclusions drawn by the researchers. Comparing the similarities and differences between Adorno et al. ’s and Altemeyer’s approach to authoritarianism showes us that even if studies have the same questions that they want to answer the come both to different explanation. Both studies provided important insights into the explanation and development of authotarian personality,and built a solid foundation for future

Charles Pierce in his essay ," Ho to Make our Ideas Clear",stated that logicians were obscure in describing their ideas and conceptions, and at the same time confusing and in need of clarification, he regarded said philosophies used by logicians extinct. He viewed Descartes reconstruction of philosophy which would attempt to discard the traditional method of philosophy as one that failed in being clear," The distinction between an idea seeming clear and really being so never occurred to him." Ultimately, Charles Pierce promoted a logic that would teach us in attaining clear ideas, as well as a different approach on finding what is to be the truth. Charles also spoke about Doubt, Belief and thought. Doubt would brings about thought which
