Moral Realism In this paper‚ I examine the connection between judgments of fact and moral judgments in an attempt to discern whether moral judgments are simply a subset of judgments of fact. I will look mostly at an argument posed by many moral realists that takes moral facts to be “supervenient natural facts which are independent of our theorizing about them”1 and in which moral judgments are determined by objective facts which relate to human flourishing or pleasure and pain. I will also‚ though

Romanticism and Realism in the Arts Romanticism and Realism were two forms of art that came into existence in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Both formed as a resistance to traditional standards and in response to a time of war and revolution. Both Romanticism and Realism are prevalent in works of art to this day.

The Flaw of Truth The truth to a writer who uses magical realism is like a sunshade over a blooming flower. The flower may still live‚ but its beauty isn’t as magnificent. Truth needs to be somewhat apparent in a work‚ but a writer using magical realism needs creativity. Magical realism may not create a truthful story‚ but one with meaning. The movie Big Fish offers sagaciousness into how a writer or a storyteller can use magical realism to show the reader something that the truth makes commonplace

Thomas Hardy’s main character‚ Tess‚ in Tess of D’Urbervilles‚ and Chaucer’s main character‚ Alisoun‚ in The Wife of Bath’s Prologue‚ have both been portrayed as women ‘behaving badly’ in society’s point of view and these portrayals have been greatly influenced by the values and attitudes towards women in each of the composer’s contexts. The representation of women behaving badly in these two texts has been achieved through the use of strong characterisation and literary techniques. The values

WHAT CAUSED WORLD WAR 1? As Hobbes said in Leviathan‚ “if any two men desire the same thing‚ which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy‚ they become enemies”. Men are equal and interact in anarchy‚ driven by competition‚ diffidence‚ and glory. World War I was prompted by the self-centered behavior of Germany in the early 20th century combined with the achievement of balance of power in Europe. For realists‚ the war could have been a case of security dilemma for Germany in a system of balanced power;
