Silence Is The Absolute Rhetorical Analysis

Emerson believes self is spiritual and that your identity is found in your soul. He does not highlight the physical aspects of self, he instead just focuses on what is on the inside. Emerson states, “the soul raised over passion beholds identity and eternal causation, perceives the self-existence of Truth and Right, and calms itself with knowing that all things go well” (Emerson 29). Emerson is illustrating that the soul contains your identity, and therefore, your sense of self. Emerson is also explaining that the soul sees the truth, which Emerson believes is the key to living true to yourself as everyone is better off if they follow their own truths.

He asserts that the unvarying and invisible Forms are the cause of all things that exist. He claims that all things have the qualities they do because they participate in certain Forms. The example he gives is that beautiful things participate in the Form of Beauty and are only beautiful because of their participation in this Form. Analogously, the soul participates in the Form of Life. It therefore follows that the soul can never die, it is immortal.

Throughout Descartes Discourse and Meditations, he tears down the foundations of his knowledge and doubts all things that are not grounded on definite knowledge. His questioning leads him to discredit everything, as he cannot find anything that can’t be doubted. However, once he had doubted everything he searched for something indisputable. He realises to doubt is to think, and to think is to exist, so they first indisputable rule he comes to is ‘I think, therefore I am’. In this quote he proposes that he has found the first unquestionable and unbreakable law of the universe, that no man could ever disprove or argue against.

The fact that Holden is aware that he has no one make him depress , this was a cry for help for Holden.

I think he would’ve rejected it immediately, but he knows that while some things are looked down upon, the things that they were doing during his time were just as bad. This man was known for taking everything in, and although he was a skeptic he never passed judgment on others. He knew that although he was firm in his beliefs that others thought, and acted differently. So, if presented with the Mayan games he would understand how that fit into their culture, and overall life style. He says it perfectly himself when he says, I do not share that common error of judging another by myself.

Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise. In a society that functions by this proverb, wisdom is hard to come by. However, for a being longing for this wisdom, with a natural urge of curiosity, this “bliss” is hell. Equality, a being longing for the validation of his differences in a society of group mentality, is spare of individual morality. He accepts the ignorance of total equality that is forced on him, but is contrastingly different from the image of a part of a communal whole.

Oedipus feels that Teiresias is inferior compared even to him and cannot cause any threat to him, however, much he has the sight advantage; he has no exposure to the knowledge which Teiresias has. Having been given many hints in his life, Oedipus cannot detect and know the truth. He is blind, to the extent that he could not even understand his life and does not even want to accept his origin. In this way, we get to know the contrast between eyesight and insight (Calame, 1996).

Arthur Schopenhauer, a German philosopher illustrates my idea in saying, “A man can be himself only so long as he is alone;... if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.” Schopenhauer believed that solitude grants a person an unequivocal experience, one that is paramount to all others where they can truly be their best self. This leads to the next point on the purpose of solitude and its famous

Nonconformity: Self over Acceptance Nowadays, society’s foundation is based solely off of acceptance and conformity. Conformity has unfortunately become a social norm and has caused our once flowing originality to become boring and non-creative. Our society is so conformed that we have forgotten the meaning of being unique and distinct from everyone else. Examples of non-conformity are displayed in the film, Dead Poet’s Society, along with personal experiences and the short story The Sociology of Leopard Man by Logan Feys. Although, there are a few cases in which conformity is not such an atrocious lifestyle to follow, people should never change who they are in order to belong to a certain group.
