- 8632: Shusterman And The Aesthetic E
- ... of the work. Richard Shusterman would probably say that the term has gotten a little out of hand, and for this reason he has attempted to nurse this so called aesthetic experience back into it's full bodied figure. In his essay the End of the Aesthetic Experience Shusterman attempts to explain how analytic aesthetics misunderstood the notion of the aesthetic experience and how this is not only relevant but important to the contemporary art world. In this essay, I will explore Shusterman's ideas concerning these concepts, and discern his validity and his theory's ability for implementation into the current art world. Shusterman makes a point of noting that the aesthetic experience from Dewey to Danto has made an obvious decline. He notes, "While Dewey celebrated aesthetic experience, ...
- 8633: Charles Manson Aka Jesus Christ
- ... know anything about these two, the answer is: Most likely. Let us take a look at these two. Both Jesus Christ and Charles Manson led a cult that still thrives to this very day.

As old followers die out, new followers will take their place to carry on the words of both Jesus Christ and Charles Manson. If we looked past the usual stereotype against Charles Manson, we can see that the preachings of Manson is identical to that of Jesus Christ. Hasn't Jesus spoke about the power of love? And also, isn't that what Charlie used for his motto?? Charles Manson has said "In love, you do no wrong." Wouldn't Jesus agree? In fact, ...
- 8634: Something Wicked This Way Come
- Scholasticism If you can conceive of a God, does it prove one must exist? If we cannot see a moral truth does that mean it can't be?

However a closer examination reveals that this racism and ethnic selectivity have not disappeared. Striving to preserve the British character of Canada, authorities directed their efforts towards excluding certain people from entry, while encouraging others to settle. The Federal government decided in the early 1900's to take action against Asian immigration and devised different methods for discouraging immigration from China, Japan and India. Prime Minister John A. Macdonald commented in the late 1800's that a Chinese person “was a sojourner in a strange land..and he has no common interest with us, he gives us his labour and is paid for it and is valuable, the same ...

Emotion rather than fact rule the romantic understanding principle. Romantic people are creative, inspired, intuitive. Romantics are likely to be the artists and the poets in our society.
