If the philosopher was totally ignorant he would also have no love for philosophy, culminating in the same result.

- 605: Utilitarianism
- ... the life of a slave, in some circumstances is not perfect, it is better then being dead. However, one must acknowledge that a choice remains for the slave. Another argument against the theory of Utilitarianism philosophy is that it violates the Golden Rule, which states that a person should treat other people as he/she would like them to be treated. Take, for example, a person with a substandard mental capacity ... that this is an unlikely event that would probably not happen. His use of words such as "probably" and "unlikely" give further support to the utilitarian's point of view.

Although unlikely as this situation might be, if it were to happen it would justifiable to ...
- 606: Ezra Pound, Imagism, and the Influence of the Orient
- ... on his difficult canon by examining some interrelated topics that were central to his development as a poet.

The precise history and true essence of the concept ... to “keep one’s eyes on Pound’s texts, and avoid generalities about Imagism” (Kenner p.58).

The first states that the “thing” dealt ...
- 607: Taoism 3
- In an effort to decide how I wanted to approach this paper, I decided to search the Internet to see what today's world held for me on the matters of Chinese Philosophy. One quote describing Chuang Tzu, the topic of my research paper, stuck out. In describing what this person thought was the overlying teachings of Chuang Tzu he stated, "The individual could attain mystical unity with ... a "timeless state free of worries," could be possible. I have to say though that some of the material, especially Chuang Tzu really changed my outlook on many things. My parents could say that this philosophy has made me lazy, believing that I can go through life, living peacefully and harmoniously, in nature, with out a care in the world. I don't really believe this, but some of Chuang Tzu ...

Gray is a novel including a moral dialogue between conscience and temptation that is powerfully conveyed.
