  • Descartes Sixth Meditation Analysis

    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.

  • Taylor's Biocentrism Argument Analysis

    1094 Words  | 5 Pages

    As previously mentioned, Taylor’s biocentrism argument positions non-human animals as teleological centres of life with an objective good of their own. In accordance with Taylor’s biocentric outlook on nature, non-human animals have legal rights. While he does not claim that these non-human animals have moral rights, he believes that these moral rights should be applied to nonhuman animals (Taylor, 218). If animals can be seen as teleological centers of life, then they ought to have legal rights. Since Taylor states that all living things have equal inherent worth, humans, acting as rational moral agents, are required to respect the moral equality of teleological centers of life and give the same respect to non-human animals that they do to human beings.

Patients all gave varying numerical (0-10) values to their pain, even though the actual source of pain was identical (Science Daily, 2013). This study shows that everyone experiences pain differently, and, therefore, experiences happiness and pleasure differently. Hedonistic utilitarianism also requires, in certain circumstances, that we choose to make decisions that make us happier in the long run. This can be a very complicated task, and makes deciding which actions to take in everyday life, much harder.
