Jehle And Kim's Argumentative Analysis

1477 Words6 Pages

There are two theories given regarding the self and the body by different scholars, in this case, we have Jehle, Lowe and Kim who have different views regarding the body and the soul. Jehle and Lowe share similar point of view by suggesting that there is a higher probability for the body and soul to interact but on the other hand, Kim is against the idea that there is a relationship between the self and the body. They both further explain their argument by suggesting different views that may imply both the soul and the body casually interact or there is no interaction between the soul and the body. In addition, Lowe investigates deeper and uses Non-Cartesian substance dualism (NCSD) to prove that there is a possibility for the self and the body to interact at some point. Jehle is of the same opinion but gives a different version while explaining the relationship between the two; furthermore, he deconstructs Kim's argument which suggests that the two cannot have a relationship. The main argument which is supported by two scholars that is Lowe and Jehle, that the soul …show more content…

The three scholars give their view regarding the existence of a relationship between the body and soul. Jehle and Lowe have similar opinions on this argument, although their explanations differs. On the other hand, Kim has a different opinion, he suggests that the difference in characteristics makes it impossible to have the body and the soul pairing to form a single body unit. I believeF the view that the body and the soul interact in order to ensure the holistic existence of a human being since a disembodiment makes the functioning to cease. Furthermore, the ceasing of functionality as a result of separation makes the existence of a human insignificant as the body remains lifeless and a mystery as to where the soul

    Driven by the belief that space was bequeathed to them, the Native Americans feel justified in defending their land against the growing encroachment of the white man as the American landscape unfolds. Their motive is the premise that a higher authority has granted them the right to the space, and that the Great Spirit has created the landscape exclusively for them. Fueled by the formation of conflict over land, the Great Ottawa Chief, Pontiac, in his speech at Detroit, seeks to persuade the tribes, including the Ottawa, Huron, and Pottawatomi to agree to resistance. Invoking the words of the Delaware prophet, Neolin, Pontiac recounts the vision which he believes justifies resistance. Neolin urges the tribes to sever all relations to the customs

    Recently gaining popularity in light of the recent election, some Californian residents are calling for secession. The idea of secession is not new, especially in instances of political turmoil. In 2012, after former President Obama’s re-election, individuals from states like Texas and Louisiana began petitions that garnered enough signatures for an office of the White House to respond. However, instead of California seceding and becoming it’s own nation, what about splitting the state into two or three states? Dividing into separate states could ease feelings of unjust representation and help the further development in each state’s needs.

  • Karen Armstrong Void Analysis

    1011 Words  | 5 Pages

    Karen Armstrong and Robert Thurman wrote their essays, “Homo religiosus” and “Wisdom”, respectively, describing two words, “being” and “void”. These words, although have opposite meanings, describe the same spiritual experience that come about through different means. By definition, “being” is a kind of fullness or completeness of existence and “void” is emptiness or a negation of existence. Armstrong believes that “being” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana” while Thurman believes that “void” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana”. Although these terms seem to be opposite in the literal sense of defining them, they lead to the same outcome: not being at the center of one’s own universe.

    Conclusion: The mind is substantively different from the body and indeed matter in general. Because in this conception the mind is substantively distinct from the body it becomes plausible for us to doubt the intuitive connection between mind and body. Indeed there are many aspects of the external world that do not appear to have minds and yet appear none the less real in spite of this for example mountains, sticks or lamps, given this we can begin to rationalize that perhaps minds can exist without bodies, and we only lack the capacity to perceive them.

  • Analysis Of Clarence Darrow's The Myth Of The Soul

    745 Words  | 3 Pages

    In response to the long-standing philosophical question of immorality, many philosophers have posited the soul criterion, which asserts the soul constitutes personal identity and survives physical death. In The Myth of the Soul, Clarence Darrow rejects the existence of the soul in his case against the notion of immortality and an afterlife. His primary argument against the soul criterion is that no good explanation exists for how a soul enters a body, or when its beginning might occur. (Darrow 43) After first explicating Darrow 's view, I will present what I believe is its greatest shortcoming, an inconsistent use of the term soul, and argue that this weakness impacts the overall strength of his argument.

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson's 'The Divinity School Address'

    1305 Words  | 6 Pages

    True religion, for Emerson, appears to be narcissistic and egotistical and can be defined as promoting and being consumed by the deity of one’s self, yet, contradictorily, Emerson claimed that as one trusts and worships in themselves, they gain a renewed confidence in other men. The opposite often occurs and the selfish nature Emerson so boldly praised manifests itself when one chooses to focus primarily on themselves rather than Christ. Throughout “The Divinity School Address,” Emerson attempted to justify why the human soul should regard itself as its own god by arguing the “indisputable” power of the soul and its ability to determine everything, such as where it will go after death as Emerson believed nothing about the soul was predetermined. Although Emerson was, to some extent, correct about free will, he misrepresented what little power the soul truly has by implying that, ultimately, the soul, not God, holds, in itself, the power to determine its place in the afterlife. Furthermore, Emerson misuses this as “proof” of why the soul is all-powerful and should be worshipped.

  • Essay On Cartesian Dualism

    703 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper will critically examine the Cartesian dualist position and the notion that it can offer a plausible account of the mind and body. Proposed criticisms deal with both the logical and empirical conceivability of dualist assertions, their incompatibility with physical truths, and the reducibility of the position to absurdity. Cartesian Dualism, or substance dualism, is a metaphysical position which maintains that the mind and body consist in two separate and ontologically distinct substances. On this view, the mind is understood to be an essentially thinking substance with no spatial extension; whereas the body is a physical, non-thinking substance extended in space. Though they share no common properties, substance dualists maintain

    Lastly, possible criticisms against dualism is illustrated and responded. While critics deny dualism by claiming both arguments have committed the “masked man fallacy”, such objection is seriously flawed as there is no such case. Instead, it further justifies that qualitative experiences are irreducible to physical properties. Another criticism which suggests the theory would violate the conservation law is also rebutted by the possibility of the offsetting effect done by consciousness. As a result, the conclusion that “the human mind is nonphysical” could thus be reached.

    Kyu-ho’s conflict between body and soul can be paralleled to the conflict between body and soul within an individual under an authoritarian rule. As depicted throughout Ho-Chul’s story, under authoritarian rule, individuals are pressured to exhibit or not exhibit certain behaviors and beliefs. This pressure is related to the “body” in Bergson’s theory. However, the individual has a “soul” which represents the way in which he/she wishes to behave and wishes to believe. Much like the comic in Bergson’s theory, the soul is restricted by the means of the body.
