    serious accusations brought against Descartes and modern philosophy‚ namely “the dualism of substance”. The accusers claim that the human body and soul were viewed as completely separate; consequently‚ their relationship as such and the united being of man become incomprehensible.

    What do I care if Mohammed was a good man‚ or Buddha! Does that alter my own goodness or evil? Let us be good for our own sake on our own responsibility! Not because some body way back there was good! (Reminisces of Swami Vivekananda p. 273) We are responsible for what we are‚ and whatever we wish ourselves to be‚ we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions‚ it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be

    although Oedipus’ fate was determined by the Oracle‚ the cause for his demise was himself. One aspect of Oedipus personality that leads to his downfall is his constant search for truth. Throughout the play‚ Oedipus is always trying to discover something whether it be about himself or an attempt at uncovering someone else as an enemy.
