- 252: Into The Abyss Marquis De Sade
- ... constitutes their essence and their character." Helvitius deemed that society could determine what was moral and immoral according to what suited it best, "he whose strongest passion is so much in conformity with the general interest, that he is almost always necessarily determined to be virtuous." The idea that moral codes were subject to judgment of society indicated it fickleness and changing nature. If morality was obliged and subject to society ... possibility of preserving those values against the corrosion of nihilism." D'Holbarch and Helvitius offered explanations that would be able to deter this line of thinking. They argued that it was only out of self-interest that people would be motivated to act in conformity with society, "We love virtue only for what selfish good it can bring us." This concept of enlightened self-interest reconciled the idea of utility and nature, acting in one's own self-interests, and therefore the greater good of society. The concept of enlightened self-interest, of selfless selfishness, was bound, however, to ...
- 253: The History of the Panama Canal
- The History of the Panama Canal Interest in a short route from the Atlantic to the Pacific began with the explorers of Central America early in the 16th century. Hernαn Cortιs, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico, suggested a canal across the Isthmus ... 1534 a local Spanish official suggested a canal route close to that of the present canal. Later, several other canal plans were suggested, but no action was taken. Eventually the Spanish government subsequently abandoned its interest in the canal, but in the early 19th century the books of the German scientist Alexander von Humboldt revived interest in the project, and in 1819 the Spanish government formally authorized the construction of a canal and the creation of a company to build it. Nothing came of this effort, however, and the revolt ...

- ... as the rapid course, severity, or malignancy of a disease or infection caused by a microorganism [pathogen] to overcome body defenses of the host. Ewald (1) looks at virulence in two spectrums depending upon mortality rates of the infected hosts. The first, analogous to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is one in which all hosts that become afflicted with the pathogen ultimately die due to progression of the virusnamely acquired ... of the pathogen did not guarantee death to the host. Most pathogens we are familiar with today fall into the latter category. In this case, virulence of the pathogen can, and is, measured by mortality rates. Here, more virulent strains kill more hosts. If mortality rates are very low or not present at all, greater virulence can be expressed as causing more symptoms of illness. One such pathogen is Vibrio cholerae, which causes the disease known as cholera. The subject ...

First, Bush would like to replace the current five rate tax structure of 15, 28, 31, 36, and 39.6 percent with four lower rates: 10, 15, 25, and 33 percent. Bush argues that when the income tax was started in 1913, it was intended only for the very rich. Today, Bush says, store clerks and other low profit employees are paying more elevated tax rates than were paid by the Morgans and Rockefellers of another age.

- ... wrote was the Prologue and the Epilogue, thus his most developed state of character lies within the pages of this final part of text. In this study, the character who writes the novel is of interest, not the character who lives the novel. Because of this the study will focus on the Prologue and the Epilogue. According to Henry Louis Gates, Jr., " Race, in much of the thinking about the proper ... over it, like a garrison in a conquered city.(18) Thus, civilization has lost its mastery over the invisible man because he feels the need "to strike out" with his fists. A second point of interest while pursuing a Freudian critique comes on page fourteen, where the invisible man says, "I was the irresponsible one; for I should have used my knife to protect the higher interests of society."(19) This ... the darkness and the cave in which he lives. These two images are important to his unconscious mind, and Jung sees their existence as an indicator of a rebirth to come. The next line of interest to this Jungian interpretation shows signs of the rebirth Jung predicted. In the Epilogue, the invisible man says, "The hibernation is over."(28) It is important to note that Jung believes: Rebirth is not ...

Included in these sites are popular images and sounds of the characters, trivia based on the episode, internet "treasure hunts," as well as other interactive elements; all promoting increased interest in the show as well as rampant discussions on the chat lines and newsgroups. One of the most popular interactive events on the internet was a "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" contest. In the season finale ... not only the viewer with all the information he needs to enhance his experience and interests in the series, it has provided the networks and/or producers a medium to advertise the program and stimulate interest in the show in a unique, engaging, and seemingly effective manner. The newsgroups and chat lines provide the most interactive and by far the most absorbing facet of the internet which is having an ...
- 258: Oliver Twist and Hedda Gabler: Commentary on the Social Conditions of that Time
- ... reader. They beguile the others in their surroundings, making themselves appear quite natural, even beneficial, but they are otherwise. In Oliver Twist and Hedda Gabler, the characters portrayed present destructive forces. These characters represent self-interest . The characters are always looking out to advance themselves in matters either financial or otherwise. They posses qualities that people hide from the general public. These qualities, the want to control, greed, envy, idleness and ... they do not give their trust over to these characters. Always there is some ulterior motive in their actions. As in Fagin's assent to let Sikes use Oliver in his schemes has proved, self-interest is always the underlying motive. When Fagin lets Sikes get the boy for his purposes, we find out that he only does so to get Oliver in trouble with the law so that Monks' directives ... it turns out is Oliver's half-brother who gets all the inheritance if Oliver is disgraced in the eyes of the law. Fagin, Sikes, Monks, all have this underlying quality of greed and self- interest which draws them all together.

Any act, no matter how altruistic it might seem, is actually motivated by some selfish desire of the agent (e.g., desire for reward, avoidance of guilt, personal happiness). This is a descriptive claim about human nature. Since the claim is universal--all acts are motivated by self interest--it could be proven false by a single counterexample (Weston, rule #11). It will be difficult to find an action that the psychological egoist will acknowledge as purely altruistic, however. There is almost always ...
