He always laid much stress upon the importance of logical training. His importance in the history of logic s, however, primarily due to his realization that the subject as it had come down from Aristole was unnecessarily restricted scope.

- 21945: One Should Make Their Own Career Decisions
- One Should Make Their Own Career Decisions A situation in which the student is troubled by his parents pressuring him to go into a job area that makes good money but he doesn't want to go into that career area, is a bad situation to be in. The question is if he should go into this job or not, My thesis is that the student should do what he wants to do. Three reasons for this are: You need to do what you want, even when there are some bad consequences, living a lie would not be good and money can't buy happiness. To start out, you need to go for what is best for YOU, even if there would be some negative consequences. You can't be happy unless you make decisions that are right for you. One good example of this is from the song The Dance. In the song the guy had to make a decision to move ...

One of the first choices which alter Asher's life is his decision to visit Yudel Krinsky for the first time (page 69). Although this act might seem miniscule, it was the beginning of a friendship that fostered Asher Lev's love for art. Once during his elementary years, Asher Lev stopped drawing all together and forgot his gift. However, Asher makes the choice to continue drawing (page 97). Had Asher abandoned his gift, he would ... continued in the steps of great Ladover Jews, and faced little religious hardship.

- 21947: Kant: the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative
- ... distraught widow who asks whether her late husband suffered in his accidental death, you must decide which maxim to create and based on the test which action to perform. The maxim "when answering a widow's inquiry as to the nature and duration of her late husbands death, one should always tell the truth regarding the nature of her late husband's death" (M1) passes both parts of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative. Consequently, according to Kant, M1 is a moral action. The initial stage of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative ... happiness and consequently would, at least possibly, be a moral action. Utilitarianism would also take into account the precedent set by lying; however, the analysis still rests on predicted consequence rather than on the action's intrinsic moral value. The morality of telling the lie is on a case by case basis. In some situations, it might be better to tell the truth, and according to utilitarianism that would then ...

- 21949: Analysis of Crito
- ... and Crito concerning civil disobedience. Crito has the desire, the means, and many compelling reasons with which he tries to convince the condemned to acquiesce in the plan to avoid his imminent death. Though Crito's temptation is imposing, it is in accord with reason and fidelity that Socrates chooses to fulfill his obligation to the state, even to death. Before addressing Crito's claims which exhort Socrates to leave the state and avoid immanent death, the condemned lays a solid foundation upon which he asserts his obligation to abide by the laws. The foundation is composed of public opinion, doing wrong, and fulfillment of one's obligations. Addressing public opinion, Socrates boldly asserts that it is more important to follow the advice of the wise and live well than to abide by the indiscriminate and capricious public opinion and live ...
