A society lacking in morality is a society that is doomed to fail. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the World State is a society devoid of human emotions, replacing it only with mindless consumerism. They utilize science, a tool meant for the enrichment of human life, to instead control the truth and condition citizens into their respective caste system. Essentially, the World State has sacrificed human morals, everything that makes a human alive to achieve their idea of stability. With everyone

(Fairbanks, 103). Aminadab is a complete contrast to Aylmer but none of Aylmer’s experiments would be possible without the help of this “human machine” (Hawthorne, 298). He is of great importance to Aylmer, but Hawthorne makes it clear that Aylmer thinks of himself much higher than the common man. Aminadab’s importance to the story lies within the fact that he is an invisible character everywhere except the lab. His profound contrast to Aylmer’s character away from Georgiana provides the reader with
Thomas Kuhn’s View of Science Peter Roberts Thomas Kuhn was one of the most influential philosophers of science of the 20st century. Beginning his academic career in physics, he developed an interest in the history of science, which eventually saw him turn to the philosophy of science. His ideas were influenced strongly by the time he spent studying the works of historical scientists, such as Aristotle and Copernicus, in their original contexts. Kuhn were published his seminal work, The Structure

The belief that various living organisms emerged from previous organisms throughout the history of the earth can be associated with the term evolution. One can therefore assume that there is a vast likelihood that prehistoric evolutionary processes have a significant impact on human behavior today. This paper hypothesizes that the human mind has information-processing mechanisms that are known as adaptions which have developed over time. It is believed that these adaptions were formed by natural
shifts, challenging the traditional notions of authority by investing reason with the power to change the human condition for the better. This ecumenical emphasis on reason and independent thought led to an explosion of change and development across science, philosophy, religion, and politics. Later ideologies that would shape the socioeconomic landscape of the next two centuries were themselves shaped by the threads of Enlightenment
Even though Aristotle was taught by Plato and admired his philosophical work, they both approached topics differently. Plato emphasizes the world of idea and knowledge. He observed four things; the physical world was constantly in a state of change and motion, planets moving eternally, and change or motion is always caused by something. Plato believed in a separate/perfect existence whose sole purpose was to house knowledge. He thought there is something beyond our own knowledge and existence.
influential societies on modern day life. Ancient Greece has inspired the modern world in five main areas: theatre, government, philosophy, art, and architecture. Theatre flourished in Greece, particularly in Athens, between c. 550 BC and c. 220 BC. During its beginnings theatrical performances were part of Dionysia, a festival held in honour of the god Dionysus. The plot of the plays was always inspired by Greek mythology, a theme that is still common today. Many modern plays and movies have been
