    It is to death that it is to life. It is the way of the life to find death in the end‚ that no life has no end‚ and that death must exist for life to exist. As an excerpt from my reflection of life quoted‚ “To find the meaning of life is a journey to an end; what one can attain is the construction of a personal meaning in the daily undertaking of living itself‚” death is nothing but an undertaking itself‚ that no one‚ perhaps nothingness can only dwell into‚ an absence of any form of life. However

    I genuinely agree with Descartes Painter’s Analogy in light of the fact that everything which we see in our dreams and the task that we perform in life dependes on what we have experience from the existence of reality. The dream itself is just our sensation of specific things that could take distinctive forms in our dream‚ yet at the same time we cannot disprove our self that what we come across in our dream is not based on the presence of reality. Along these lines‚ I must say Descartes is absolutely

    Fig. 8 and 9. Windows of the main bedrooms. Villa Mairea. But let us not lose our temporal thread and go back to ancient Greece‚ to question an absence: Why Greek temples do not have windows? Marco Vitruvius says of the Doric temples‚ in the fourth of his ten books on architecture‚ that "is not possible‚ as some mistakenly said that the triglyphs represent windows; as triglyphs are placed at the corners of the building over the two quarters of the columns‚ in which site are not openable windows

    As those familiar with the “actual” discipline of Philosophy can attest‚ there is a vast disconnect between what philosophy means‚ what philosophy does‚ and the questions philosophy asks. The usually pretentious divide between labels of “Continental” and “Analytical” pervade the presentation of any project towards groupings so labeled. Honestly‚ have you read Kant? Are you familiar with Rawls? Similarly‚ can you understand Heidegger? How about Nietzsche viz.‚ are you sure you know what the latter

    Descartes is totally right to be suspicious about ’the given’ before accepting it as the establishment of learning‚ however‚ in the meantime‚ it is not the bravest thought to be distrustful about everything. Throughout first Meditation‚ Descartes disposes of all his past obtained opinion‚ which from his sense is highly dubious. (Descartes‚ Meditations I‚ pg.1‚para. 1) Accordingly‚ he chooses to rebuild his insight from a specific ground and totally believe in things that are indubitable. (Descartes

    Spiritual healing involves manifesting a connection with your true self‚ a process which demands that we change the way in which we view our lives. We are so much more than our physical bodies. We are not that tiny voice inside our heads-that is our ego. No‚ we all are spirits that have taken up residence inside containers of flesh and bone. This is why we all have that feeling there is something more. In our quest for spiritual healing‚ we look for guidance from above. However‚ the source of all

    Prompt #1: Does it matter that you can not really touch anything? How does this make you feel? If you could touch something‚ what would you touch? How do you think it would feel? I don’t think it matters that I can not really touch anything because I can feel it either way. Now that I’ve learned this it makes me question. I say this because we as humans have the sense of touch but we really don’t so I honestly makes me feel confused. If I could touch something I would touch a wall. I think it will

    1. Method of Doubt Throughout Meditation One in The Meditation of the First Philosophy‚ Descartes reflects on a number of falsehoods he has believed throughout his life. He does this to create a system in order to clarify whether they are true or false‚ so that he can build a basic structure from which future knowledge can be based. This approach is called Method of Doubt. Doubt is defined as a feeling of uncertainty. Descartes opens Mediation One by stating that if he wants to establish information

    DESCARTES’ GOD Do we need a watchmaker god or the Christian God and how is it related to living a good life? The subject of god has always fascinated me‚ and I love to read how others interpret their personal gods. It is also interesting to see how people prioritize their gods in their life and what importance they give their gods. I believe that the Christian God is the true God and exactly what we need to live a good life. We need to have a goal and an end‚ which is eternal happiness with
