for the past month I have come to the conclusion that we can’t know anything for sure. I made this comment to my philosopher friends George Berkeley and John Locke. They both looked at me and started arguing with one another on their beliefs. Their beliefs align with epistemology which is the study of knowledge. Part Two: Argument Analysis John Locke believed we are born with innate knowledge which is gained from experience. Locke said‚ “To this I answer in one word‚ from experience: in that all

First love is a poem‚ which encapsulates the experience the poet has falling in love for the first time.

Philosophy Exam 2 4/13/12 Topic #2 Many examples of theoretical arguments for God’s existence start from the fact of ethical normativity.

Moral qualities have a binding attached to them shown in the force of the moral “ought” and the moral “must”. If I make a promise‚ the promise creates an

This week’s reading was a variety of Wesley’s original works. Three sermons were included (Scriptural Christianity‚ Catholic Spirit‚ and The New Birth) in addition to Wesley’s notes on various New Testament topics. The first sermon is Wesley’s interpretation on the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Interested in both works‚ ‘Against School’ and ‘Against Love’ I thought over the two and the connections that could be made between them. In ‘Against School‚’ Gatto proclaims his opinion of the education system through years of hands-on experience. He goes on to address how schools do not properly education children‚ but instead leave them bored with themselves. Gatto allows the reader to understand from his point of view from the use of past experiences that he foretells. However‚ in Kipnis’s ‘Against

I think DuBois meant when he refers to the “strange meaning of being Black” is all the things that Black people had to go through beginning with slavery. He means that being Black is looked at as being bad or strange by Whites. He talks about how slavery had made Blacks inferior to Whites‚ which made them treat us like we are not human beings. Blacks help build America‚ but Whites feel like that we did not do anything. Whites has many definitions to describe Blacks and their behaviors which they
