  ...Life and the Big Question? Name Ashford University Informal Logic professor December 8, 2013   Life and the Big Question. Have you ever thought to wonder what will happen to you after death? Where will your soul go? Will you still have some form of existence to continue through a mental capacity? Most every person has sat to ponder this lifelong question at one time or another. In many peoples mind this can be a devastating thought, serious enough that they begin to contemplate believing what they know is true and what they would like to believe. Over the existence of man many people have followed different ideals and practices to help cope with this daunting question. Religion is the basis for the preservation of a person’s soul and gives comfort in a belief of a higher power that is responsible for creation. Most religions such as Christianity believe that our soul is sent to a higher place after death and gives mental relief from the life after death question. But ask yourself this, is religion real, or merely an ideal used to comfort the wandering human mind? Science is the theory of truth thru knowledge, and many people only believe what they know is true thru factual evidence. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, as obtained and tested through scientific method...

  ...The English word ‘Symbol’ owes its origin to the Greek word, ‘Symbolon’ meaning ‘a sign’ by which one knows or infers a thing. Swami Swahananda, in one of his articles states that, “a symbol, typifies, represents or recalls something by possession of analogous qualities or by association in the fact or thought”1. Human beings use symbols so much so that it has become an innate tendency in them. In due course, symbols began to be used to interpret more and more abstract things, thoughts, human virtues, beliefs, and faiths and so on. Naturally, artists, poets and writers took to symbols as fish take to water. While artists including painters and sculptors used symbols to depict variety of moods and thoughts in their colouring schemes and models respectively, poets with their rich imagination weaved tapestries of scenarios in words with rhymes and rhythms, which came to be called as poems, sonnets etc. Symbols are also used to educate the common man who doesn’t have the calibre to understand higher knowledge and that is what our Puranas, and Itihasas do. One of the best examples, as told by Dr, Muralidharan3  is that churning of the milk ocean by the Devas and Asuras for getting divine nectar is nothing but the training of the mind. The human mind struggles between good and evil thoughts (ocean of milk), and after a lot of conflicts, troubles and  strains (symbolised by churning), the sadhaka is able to win over the asuric...

  ...conclusion is the only right answer, the so called meat and potatoes of the argument. A conclusion is the “statement that evidence is claimed to support or imply”-HURLEY 2012, a conclusion is what is claimed to follow from the evidence or explanation from the premises. Conclusion indicators are those such as; “therefore, wherefore, it must be that, we may conclude, accordingly, it follows that, it implies that, as a result, for this reason”- HURLEY 2012, and so on. The conclusion, as one would assume, is the main point of the argument that a person is trying to relay to their target audience. It is important to think of the many times in life that we have heard and have stated arguments that flow using premises that lead to conclusions. Everyone has had a time that they felt they were right about something and used as much proof or evidence to support what they are saying. And most people can admit when they lie they use false premises to convince others of a false conclusion. This leads to our two main types of arguments, inductive and deductive arguments. The definition of a deductive argument is “an argument incorporating the claim that it is impossible for the conclusion to be false given that the premises are true”.-HURLEY 2012 “Deductive arguments follow necessarily from the conclusion and with complete certainty from the premises”.-HURLEY 2012 When determining whether an argument is deductive or not, it is helpful to look at some...

In this song, the singer have to choose if either she’ll chose the one she loves or the one that loves her. It’s a fallacy because it’s not only the choices left behind. Two choices are presented here but it doesn’t mean that it’s the only choice left. She can chose not to pick them both because the one she loves didn’t love her after all and she doesn’t love the one that loves her.

  ...people in their fight for freedom, only to be mercilessly killed by soldiers at the tarmac. They must have found it hard to believe how brave their own parents were, rallying around Ninoy?s courageous widow Cory, who showed them that faith can indeed move mountains or?in this instance?topple a dictatorship without violence or bloodshed. Our young people today, probably, did not hear a heartfelt retelling of the story of People Power when Cory was still with the living. In a few years, will they remember Cory the way schoolchildren in the ?80s were taught to remember Marcos as somebody who ?declared martial law to save the Republic?? Will Cory still be held in deep respect 10 to 12 years from now, when today?s Grade 1 pupils shall have finished university and shall have become young adults? How will future generations know of Cory and the Filipino people?s historic struggle to be free? In school of course, in their Hekasi and Araling Panlipunan classes. Our youth are supposed to learn historical events, facts and even trivia in the textbooks and learning materials that the school makes available for them. Ideally, they discuss and absorb the context surrounding these events through their teacher?s patient exposition and creativity. Necessarily, our teachers must adhere to teaching?s first rule: know your subject matter. In this regard, they are guided by Makabayan, one of the five subjects in the Revised Basic Education Curriculum. (The other...

  ...Spinoza’s Argument for Substance Monism and Common Objections Spinoza’s Ethics is widely thought of as Spinoza’s greatest work. One noteworthy claim that he makes in his Ethics is his argument for substance monism, or the existence of only one substance. In Proposition 14, Part I of his Ethics, Spinoza states that “There can be, or be conceived, no other substance but God.” This statement amounts to saying that everything else in this world, whether it is extended or not, is a mere image of God. Spinoza’s proof for this comes in three steps. One, assume that no two substances can share an attribute. Two, assume that there exists a substance that contains infinite attributes. Three, by these two assumptions, another substance cannot exist because it would have to share an attribute with God. Although there are objections claiming these assumptions and, consequently, the proposition are wrong, these objections are based on misinterpretations of Spinoza’s definitions, and I believe Spinoza is correct in arguing for substance monism. In order to prove my point, I will first define some terms and give some axioms that Spinoza uses. Then I will prove the two assumptions he uses in his proof, and argue for substance monism. Afterwards, I will proceed to give the most common objection to Spinoza’s proof, followed by a refutation of this objection. In the beginning of his Ethics, Spinoza gives the definitions and axioms that all of his propositions...

• Peter Singer Logic Essay

  ... Logic: Peter Singer NAME PHI 103, Information Logic Instructor: NAME DATE Logic: Peter Singer An Evaluation of Singer Peter Singer questions our conception of equality as it relates to the human species and other animal species. He fundamentally argues that, “The principle of the equality of human beings is not a description of an alleged actual equality among humans: it is a prescription of how we should treat humans.” The statement, revealing Singer’s essential argument, also comprises two approaches we might take towards establishing equality among living things. Let’s trace Singer’s claims surrounding these two approaches and finally consider his fundamental, philosophical assumption. One approach to equality stems from philosophers, who determine a base-line set of attributes or functions that constitute human beings. Typical treatises attribute humans with rational, linguistic, or emotional capacities that differentiate them from “brutes.” However, Singer culls evidence from the medical field, not research but simple observations of medical disabilities, where a human with born defects actually functions at a lower level than certain animal species. For example, someone with severe cognitive paralysis may be less rational or “able” than a normal-functioning dolphin. Thus, Singer points out that if we wish to establish equality based upon attributes, we have a hard time excluding many...
