Cartesian Mind/Body Dualism
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper/essay that examines what two articles say about dualism and Descartes and then offers the writer's personal observations. Dualism maintains that the mind and the body are distinctly separate entities (Calef). The dualism espoused by Rene Descartes expresses this philosophy in its "most radical form" (Palmer 114). First by looking at what author Donald Palmer has to say about dualism in his text Does the Center Hold? (1996) and then comparing this with further comment by Scott Calef of Ohio Wesleyan University, this examination lays the foundation for formulating personal observations on the validity of this philosophical perspective. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Cartesian Mind/Body Interactionism And Spinoza's Dual-Aspect Monism: Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
20 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. According to Cartesian thought, man looks upon his world as a direct reflection of him, his values, beliefs, experiences, conditions and development; contrarily, Spinoza asserts that humanity may also perceive the world "cleanly and directly, seeing things for what they are in moments of illuminating vision" (Anonymous #2, 2002). Bibliography lists 20 sources.

Causal Theory of Action
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses causal theory of action and the fact that it is in and of itself an example of the ways in which causal realism describes a direct perception of causality rather than a perception based an actual innate ability or a learned response. The psychological aspect of the causal theory suggests that perception can be separated into mental and physical parts, which are then related as cause and effect. Unlike the theories associated with behaviorism, causal theorism presents the idea that mental states are real inner states that cause human behavior. In other words, behaving in certain ways is not all that there is to thinking or the processes of intelligence. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Chapter IV in “Utilitarianism” by John Stuart Mill
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the argument presented by Mill in Chapter 4 of “Utilitarianism” (1863). John Stuart Mill was raised on the utilitarian principles indoctrinated by his father James which are based largely on people’s actions are the result of their desire for ultimate happiness and all actions are elements of this happiness or a means to attain it. In Mill’s Chapter IV of “Utilitarianism” (1863), he attempts to prove this system of utility based on the principle of desire for ultimate happiness. To do this, he uses an indirect method of proof and in accepting his argument the reader must accept the basis of utilitarianism in order to extrapolate his principle to include the elements of will and virtue; elements many philosophers believe are not conscious acts of desire but remain unconscious in their design. Mill believes that will and virtue along with other elements such as money, power and fame are all originally based on the desire for general happiness and are therefore included. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
