Descartes: His Analysis of Melting Beeswax
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. This paper examines Descartes' analysis of the perception of melting beeswax and what it might really prove. We must wonder if he has gone too far when he infers that the nature of the wax is "in no way revealed" by the senses and that the perception is by the "mind alone." Other considerations will be his arguments about his awareness of himself as a thinking thing in his second mediation. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Destiny or Circumstance?: Are Human Beings in Charge of Their Destiny?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of destiny as it relates to the actional and nonactional theories. Associates the theory of biological determinism with the nonactional theory but observes other areas of research which indicate numerous factors, particularly parental involvement in our childhood, affect the way we live our lives. Concludes that there is some validity to the Actional Theory, the theory that it is us that determine our destiny. What becomes clear, however, is that our destinies are determined not only by factors which are under our control but also be predetermined factors such as our genes. Destiny therefore is predetermined in some instances but entirely under our control in others. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
