Imagine that a line on a Cartesian graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain. The slope of the line represents the speed of the person in feet per hour. This graph is useful because it provides a visual representation of the continuous motion of the person walking‚ something that could not provided by something like a bar graph. In a bar graph

In Cartesian Dualism‚ Descartes tries to prove that the mind or soul is distinct and separate from the body‚ having no thoughts like the thinking and knowing mind/soul. The first argument in Cartesian Dualism is the argument of doubt. This argument has to do with doubting that he is a thinking thing there must be something there that is true to that therefore there is no physical body because that thought is possible. He claims the mind and body is two separate things claiming this logic: I am certain

‘Is the mind exactly the same thing as the brain? Explain and justify your answer.’ The mind‚ or ‘soul’ as it has come to be known to some‚ is classified as a ‘non-physical entity’ that is separate from the brain by Cartesian Dualists and linked to (but still different from) the brain by Property Dualists. These are perfectly reasonable ways to look at it as such concepts as qualia and privileged access and the fact that mental phenomena lack spatial features support these theories. While Materialists

Out with the Old and New Each of us is raised within a culture‚ a set of traditions handed down by those before us. As individuals‚ we view and experience common heritage in subtly differing ways. Within smaller communities and families‚ deeply felt traditions serve to enrich this common heritage. In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”‚ the message about the preservation‚ specifically African-American heritage is very clear in her eagerness to claim an ancient heritage; a woman may deny herself

CARTESIAN DUALISM Rene Descartes‚ a sixteenth century philosopher and mathematician‚ attempted to address the issue of how the mind and body interact which subsequently proposed the theory of Cartesian Dualism. According to Descartes‚ Cartesian Dualism is the belief that mental states are states of an immaterial substance that interacts with the body. He articulates and supports this theory by using the conceivability argument which states that if one can conceive themselves

that the boy’s mother is giving the child a false sense of hope in a God that requires one to first suffer to eventually find peace. This belief has become common in the 21st century; another critic Ali Gunes in her work The Deconstruction of the Cartesian Dichotomy of Black and White in William Blake’s “The Little Black Boy” argues a point similar to that of Greco. Gunes says‚ “The black boy’s mother‚ who‚ in fact‚ represents religious voice in Blake’s The Little Black Boy‚ seems very innocent and

The Vector equation of a plane To find the vector equation of a plane a point on the plane and two different direction vectors are required. The equation is defined as: where a is the point on the plane and b and c are the vectors. This equation can then be written as: The Cartesian equation of a plane The cartesian equation of the plane is easier to use. The equation is defined as: One of the advantages to writing the equation in cartesian form is that we can easily find the normal
