Tell Or Keep Quiet?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper assessing this scenario: A friend’s daughter is gay; she is staying in her mother’s house and has a friend staying there with her. Her mother does not know that the two women are sleeping together in her home. The paper discusses the philosophies of Kant and Mill as well as ethics of care to arrive at the conclusion that the would-be informer should not share the information with the mother. If the mother truly is unaware of the situation, she will know soon enough. If she knows already but refuses to acknowledge the situation, proclamation of it by a friend disallows her choice to “tune out” reality. At best, the informer’s information will not be new. At worst, the woman could adopt a “shoot the messenger” stance and the friendship could be compromised at a time that the woman may need a friend most. The would-be informer needs to remain silent.

The “Poetry” of Freud and Nietzsche
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche and refers to how each used vast amounts of poetic imagery, analogies, and metaphor in their writing. Each captured the essence of what they had to say in a poetic framework that carried a certain amount of lyricism although both are likely to have denied such a thing. Nietzsche’s “Birth of Tragedy” (1872) was (and is) an example of classical intellectualism while Freud’s “Civilizations and its Discontents” (1930) presented the world with the idea that humanity and the collective thinking of human beings is of far greater impact than the behavior of human beings as separate individuals. Both works serve to illustrate that Freud and Nietzsche were examples of para-rational poets. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The establishment of the Ionian school in Miletos should be considered as the actual point of departure for pre-Socratic thinking. The pre-Socratic philosophers were able to weave reason and intuition into their search for truth in a remarkably erudite and articulate manner. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
