Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas And Philonous": Direct Realism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Throughout most of the First Dialogue of Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous," Hylas' position has two components: (R) For an ordinary physical object (such as a tree) to really exist is for it to exist external to, and independent of the mind; and (D) We immediately perceive ordinary physical objects. Sometimes this position (R + D) is called Direct Realism, a position which Philonous openly argues against. No additional sources cited.

Berkeley's Doctrine Of Notions
[ send me this paper ]
13 pages in length. The very nature of perception is that which we, as humans, have been trained to discern as a species, inasmuch as the certain quality of perception required within the sensual world is decidedly unique to human beings. Man looks upon his world as a direct reflection of him, his values, beliefs, experiences, conditions and development. As such, the writer discusses Berkeley's doctrine of notions as they relate to spiritual perception. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Bernard & Krieger/Knowledge & Power
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper/essay that discusses Claude Bernard, nineteenth century scientist and medical pioneer, and Martin Krieger, contemporary mathematician. These men address very different subject areas in their writing; however, these two men of science share a common feature in that they both express a philosophical orientation towards how to understand the nature of knowledge, and by implication, the nature of power. While these two viewpoints are divided by time, and somewhat by subject matter, these two insightful scientists/philosopher are fundamentally in agreement in that they both present knowledge, whether it is scientific or mathematically in nature, as being only a construct of reality, rather than a representation of reality that can be thoroughly trusted. Examination of representative examples of Bernard and Krieger's work illustrates this point. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Bernard Williams' "The Makropulos Case: Reflections on the Tedium of Immortality"
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses Bernard Williams' 1972 essay regarding the idea that immortality is not a desired state of being. "The Makropulos Case" is included in Williams' essay title because it is the name of a play about 16th century woman named Elina Makropulos whose father gives her an "elixir of life." She reaches the age of 342 but her life has been reduced to a state of: "... boredom, indifference, and coldness. Everything is joyless." The report supports Williams' argument. Bibliography lists only the primary source.
