Substance Dualism: Descartes, Spinoza and Berkeley
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Man's timeline of existence has created a number of philosophical debates that - despite repeated attempts to reach a single answer - have served to perpetuate debate throughout the centuries. One of the most hotly challenged concepts that continues even today is that of substance dualism, the notion of mind/body, mental/physical as two distinct and separate entities in the universe. However, these substance dualists, who perceive their physical beings as external housing for their minds, are not without their critics. As such, a significant component of comparing and contrasting Cartesian mind/body interactionism and Spinoza's monism is incorporating some of the most notable names associated with the entire subject matter, not the least of which is George Berkeley. Without the fundamental concepts offered by other philosophers, Cartesian and Spinoza's contributions would have little upon which to reflect. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Suffering Evolves From Knowledge - From What We Mistakenly Think We Know
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Mankind's perceived knowledge resides at the foundation of human suffering. The extent to which this is true can be experienced in everyday life as people move from one psychological plane to another without cause to stop and consider how and why they are even here and what might be expected of them on a grander, more esoteric scale. Inherent to man's self-seeking journey is that which becomes distorted, a quest for knowledge that no longer reflects the truth but rather exemplifies how people latch on to what it is they mistakenly think they know. The ultimate consequence of such shortsightedness results in tremendous suffering that humanity has no idea how to abate, much less liberate altogether. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Summary and Analysis of “The Laws” by Plato
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper summarizing and analyzing Plato’s “The Laws” on a chapter by chapter basis. Philosopher and educator Plato (427-347 B.C.E.) wrote extensively in general philosophy which he believed was the basis for the theory of education and political thought. Plato was greatly influenced by the philosophies of Socrates and in addition was critical about Athenian public life “which he presented as dominated by the rhetorical and poetical uses of language in the formation of policies and attitudes”. “The Laws” (360 B.C.E.) was Plato’s last and most extensive work and it reaffirms many of his arguments from previous works in regards to the practical politics of running a Republic. The central speaker is an “Athenian stranger” who gives “advice on the constitution of a proposed new city”. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Summary and Discussion of Celia Kitzinger’s Article “Born to be Good?”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Celia Kitzinger’s article “Born to be Good?”. British psychologist Celia Kitzinger discusses human motivation in relation to the psychology of morality of the “good, bad or indifferent” treatment of others in her essay “Born to be Good?” (1997). Kitzinger’s article tells readers some of the more popular social, biological and psychological theories in regards to moral development and some of the controversies with these theories. In addition to theories of moral development and beliefs, perhaps more importantly Kitzinger tackles the differences which exist between moral beliefs and action. In many situations people who may have high moral beliefs act in horrible ways because of social pressures. Overall, the essay presents a well informed look at moral beliefs, motivation and actions and opens the discussion for future discussions on what can be done to overcome social pressures which cause people to act counter to their moral beliefs and upbringing. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
