beauty, virtue, truth, obligation, moral judgement, aesthetic judgement etc. The recognition that all these separate concepts are based on the same underlying structure led to the development of "value theory" through the works of such eminent philosophers as Lotze, Meinong, von Ehrenfels, and later Scheler, Nicolai Hartman, Perry, Dewey and Pepper. The common ground of concepts such as the good, the beautiful, the right is that they deal essentially with what ought to be, rather than with what
his theory of the nature of reality known as Platonic realism. He argues that there are true forms of ideas that exist in a higher realm of being and thought. Essentially, there is a perfect template for every idea in the universe, including such concepts as good, justice and knowledge. These templates are the true abstract qualities of these ideas that individuals of the material realm cannot directly perceive with the senses, and so everything that exists within the worldly realm is actually a flawed
To some the causes and effects of things are mutually exclusive, and coexistence with one another. When observing specific equipment or even life, the question stands that there must be an account that took place before such items ceased to exist. Particularly, Aristotle argues that each thing, whatever it may be, will have causes, or types of explanatory factors by which that thing can be explained. The significant knowledge of causes allows for specific accounts to be known. It’s like questioning
Ginsberg, Allen. Howl and Other Poems. San Francisco: City Light Books, 2001. Capitalizing on Capitalizing in Ginsberg’s Howl Ginsberg was a literary revolutionary as can be seen in his poetry. He pushed form and genre, theory and confrontation, confession and controversy right to the threshold and over the doorway of societal standards. In pushing and pushing, Ginsberg creates a new vocabulary for certain words by capitalizing them and giving them the significance of the ‘proper noun.’ By
Deconstructing Henry James's The Turn of the Screw To those readers uninitiated to the infinite guises of critical literary theory, Henry James's The Turn of the Screw might be interpreted as a textbook case of an anxiety-ridden Governess fleeing an unpromising reality and running right into the vaporous arms of her imaginary ghosts. But to the seriously literate, the text is more than the story does or does not tell; it can be read in light of many - not just one - literary theories.
Aristotle once said, "I count him braver who overcomes his desires … for the hardest victory is over self." Unfortunately, most people don't understand the sheer meaning of Aristotle's quote because they live as servants of their community where one's identity losses its shape. Such end is the inevitable result of living under the constraints of binaries. Toni Morrison's Sula is packed with numerous binaries that define the nature and acts of the novel's characters such as the Self/Community binary
acknowledges the argument of Paley (2001) that the caring is an elusive concept but points out that it is elusive because of its diversity. She borrowed Heidegger and Husserl’s words to criticize Paley’s attempt to reach the tautological conclusion about the caring concept in nursing and urged him to understand caring as a tool rather than something to be observed. When she suggested that the elusiveness of the caring concept paradoxically motivates nurses to chase it; it resonated with many nursing
and the element directing the theory we are adopting for months to come. Stewart, Harte and Sambrook (2010, p223) have determined the relation that the theory plays with the evolution of the research process and its designer “In summary then the concept of theory is inextricably connected to notions of science that, in origin at least, refers to investigating the world according to a set of rules and principles.” Those rules and principles will be the guide and limitations to direct the inquisition
Is the use of philosophical thinking, teaching, and argumentation useful? Philosophy has been taught for millennia, and has been very influential over the course of human history. Because of its quasi perpetuity, it would not be a radical idea to assume that philosophy has its uses. I would agree with this conjecture; philosophy is useful in many different ways. Philosophy is useful because it helps us understand what we do and do not know; it draws a line between having actual knowledge and having
Larsson, Sjostrom, & Plos, 2008). The concept of patient participation plays an important role in health care nationally and globally. The meaning of patient participation varies greatly based on individual patient and nurse’s perception. This concept analysis it to gain clarity through Walker and Avant concept analysis method by identifying and presenting the purpose, attributes, model case, antecedents, consequences and empirical referents of the concepts.

For centuries Buddhists have contemplated the meaning of life and their ultimate goal to achieve enlightenment. In J.D Salinger’s short story “Teddy”, the reader is quick to discover that the main character Teddy is wise and philosophical due to his belief of his past lives, and his desire to reach his final enlightened state. The symbols that Salinger introduces in this story are the portholes that allow the reader an insight into the multitude of thought processes that take place in Teddy’s mind
A common trait that lies within human nature, is the idea of belonging. It is a basic human pursuit to have a feeling of purpose. This concept translates clearly through contributing to society. No matter how small, the impact of helping another person or idea in favor of a greater good has been a basic human instinct throughout history, and increases the feeling of belonging. For example, without the ambition of sacrificial people who contribute their time and safety towards inevitably bettering
cultural studies, tries to articulate Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical concepts with practical studies on culture, analyzing films, cyberspace, and Cajun dance. Although he says that the goal of the book is to provide "an initial orientation" to Deleuze and Guattari's collaborative works, it is not a simple job at all for those innocent of Deleuzean concepts to follow the flow of his thought (ix). He provides short explications of the concepts and quotations from Deleuze and Guattari's books before
What is perception? What is concept? What is reason? What is understanding? What is object?" [1; p.434]. Kant failed to lay down a proper foundation for these fundamental notions, and this has led to ambiguities in his work. Kant's Theory of Object Kant gives a summary of the place of objects in our understanding, and how they are perceived, in section 1 of the 'Transcendental Aesthetic' [2; B33 to B36]. He divides all knowledge of objects into intuition and concepts. Objects are presented in
Theories suggest that bilingual children are able to learn a second language after the first is mastered. One of the reasons behind this is that the child has already developed the nonverbal concept of the word (because the child is already using it in the primary language), so only the verbal concept must be constructed. It has been shown that balanced bilinguals are more cognitively and linguistically flexible. However, unbalanced bilinguals generally show mixed results. Introduction Impact
Extreme and Moderate Characters in Tartuffe In Moliére’s Tartuffe (Moiré 1664), the reader is able to see a great contrast of Extreme and Moderate characters. Extreme characters being those who are seen as over the top, or very passionate people, and the moderate characters having a more calm and subtle approach to ideas. The extreme characters in this case would be Madam Pernelle, Orgon, Tartuffe, and Dorine. The moderate characters are seen as Cleante and Elmire. One of the characters that obviously
Antecedentes Intranets Probablemente se habrá encontrado más de una vez con el término "intranet".

Concepts of Team Management When we think of the word team, individually many different ideas may come to mind about what a team really is. Some may think of an NFL team (Tennessee Titans), an NBA team (Sacramento Kings), or a NASA astronaut team with such pioneers as Edwin Aldrin, Jr. and Neil Armstrong as members. You might even think of the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, or Marines as teams. In fact they all are, and they have a great deal in common as teams. However, for the
