Socrates: Psychic Harmony Is The Greatest Good
.... be eliminated.
I believe that Socrates is correct. If you are at peace with yourself
you are also morally right towards society. Those that aren't are usually
immoral and don't do what is considered right by others. I do not think it is
possible to be in psychic harmony and yet act immoral. It may be possible,
however, that if one is immoral, and wishes to be moral, they could learn to be
in psychic harmony if they really wanted it.

Socrate's First Accusers And Athenian Law
.... is placed on trial for his
life.
The question now becomes why and in what manner did Socrates refute the gods
and is he quilty? Socrates, himself, speaks out the accusers charges by saying
"Socrates does injustice and is meddlesome, by investigating the things under
the earth and the heavenly things, and by making the weaker the stronger and by
teaching others these things" (Plato, 19b;c). This is the charge of the "old"
accusers. It is seen from an example in "The Clouds". Strepsiades goes to
Soc .....

Ernest Sosa: Externalism
.... A belief is superweakly justified iff the process that produces the
belief is unreliable but the subject did not intentionally come to hold the
belief because it was acquired unreliably. And, finally, a belief has strong
meta-justification iff the subject neither believes that nor can determine if
the belief is ill-formed (hence the "meta-" prefix), and the subject is aware of
the process by which he got the belief and that the process is reliable.
OK, seems reasonable enough. But, Sosa p .....

The Comparisons Of Charles Manson To Transcendental Philosophy
.... the judge found many of his motions “ludicrous” and appointed him
an attorney. Manson preached that only he could represent himself, because no
one could preserve his individuality. Mr. Manson lost his sixth amendment right
to self-representation, and he uses this example now to prove that the
individual rights of people are controlled and manipulated by the government.
The story of the “Manson Family” goes beyond the Tate/LaBianca murders,
to years before the murders took place. Manson and his “ .....

The Disproof (and Proof) Of Everything
.... do not take it seriously. For those of you who feel
you can handle this, read on. Now, let us start at the most logical place to
begin, the beginning.
What is reality?
Well, there are many explanations and theories about this, but I based mine on
what I can observe and how I perceive things as a whole. Reality, as we know it
seems to be made up of various dimensions. Most people will say reality is three
dimensional, but it's really more than that. Time is often considered a fourth
dimension, and some .....

Dworkin's Belief Of Preferential Treatment
.... are no longer any laws stating
that there must be a separation between different races, people still practice
it unconsciously. Dworkin states that the long-term goal of preferential
treatment "is to reduce the degree to which American society is overall a
racially conscious society (294)." Preferential treatment does nothing of the
sort. It was used widely in the past and still exists in some areas today. It
has not reduced racial consciousness, but increased it by making people think
more about how .....

The Existence Of God: Theories Of Thomas Aquinas, St. Anselm, And William Paley
.... such terrible things to occur as they do in today's world: The starving in
Third World Countries, the destructiveness of war, and especially the anguish of
losing a loved one.
In the Bible, a book meant to be the word of God, condemns such things
as murder, adultery and theft. I find it hard to believe that an all-powerful,
all-knowing, infinitely-good being that “created” this world and everything in
it would allow any of these things to occur. He would not only condemn them in
an ancient book, .....

The Existence Of External Forces
.... is arrived at differently in
everyone, and it cannot be measured, predicted, or understood as well as the
other type. In fact it is often unable to be seen at all, but it must exist
simply because the entire world or even the simple workings of one man's brain
cannot be described completely using only the laws of nature. A complex moral
decision is created in the mind of men by more that just a random or predictable
set of electrical impulses, but by the not completely understood spiritual and
psych .....

The Game Of Hacky Sac Or Footbag
.... tendons. Through it's lattest incarnation, though, it's
the ultimate neo-hippie sport;the athletic equivalent of tie-dyed clothing or
listening to the Grateful Dead.
Hackysac's reputation as a game of peace, love and understanding may have begun
during a 1987 American-Soviet peace walk protesting the arms race. As hack
circles developed along the road from Leningrad to Moscow, people joked that
summit meetings weren't the answer and the true secret to lasting peace among
nations lay in the game of hackysa .....

Alfarabi And Aristotle: The Four Causes And The Four Stages Of The Doctrine Of The Intelligence
.... of a Virtuous City, where he laid down a
philosophical, religious, and social system for the humanity at large; a system
that sought to break barriers and facilitate relations among people and nations.
This work sounded very similar to the work presented by Plato in Plato's
Republic. They both took into consideration the matter of city/state, who was
to govern, who was to be governed, how this governing was to take place, how it
was to be enforced, and so on. It also appears clear that he was influenced

The Motionless Arrow: Aristotle's Thoughts On Zeno's Arror Argument

2. The Flying arrow is at rest when at a place equal to it;
3. Time is composed of indivisible nows (instants).
4. Everything that changes place is doing so in the now.
5. Conclusion: The flying arrow doesn't move.
According to Zeno, time is composed of many indivisible nows, or instants.
Aristotle disagrees, stating in line 210 that no magnitude, including time, is
composed of indivisible nows. Exactly how long is an instant? Is time finite .....

The Cycle Of Never Ending Cause And Effect

something else, maybe more nothingness, who knows? The fact simply is that
humanity doesn't know what came first and have thrive to come up with answers
which range from the scientific point of view to the religious. The religious
answers, which are completely based on belief, used to be entirely accepted by
people, but as science began to flourish, scientific answers, which use logic
and reasoning, became the primary source for belief. Now a days it is im .....

Antony Flew: The Existence And Belief Of God
.... parable that Flew is using is clearly an analogy to the existence
and belief of God. The garden represents God, "…invisible, intangible,
insensible…". The "Sceptic" says there is no gardener, just as an atheist
denies the existence God. The "Believer" says there is a gardener, like a
theist telling everyone that God exists. The "Believer" tries to prove that
there was a planter, who planted the seeds for the flowers to grow. This
planter takes care of them, a parallelism to God supposedl .....

The Only Truth Existing
.... From these experiences, we have learned to understand life
with reason and logic; we have established our idea of reality; and we believe
that true perceptions are what we sense and see. But it is our sense of reason
and logic, our idea of reality, and our perceptions, that may likely to be very
wrong. Subjectiveness, or personal belief, is almost always, liable for self-
contradiction. Besides the established truth that we exist, there are no other
truths that are certain, for the fact that subjectiv .....
