According to Merriam Webster, the American Dream is “a happy way of living… that can be achieved by anyone… by working hard and becoming successful.” Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman critiques this ideology through the outcome of Willy’s life and in light of Karl Marx’s ideas in Alienation. One way Miller critiques the American Dream is through Marx’s idea of proprietors and propertyless. Marx states in Alienated Labor that “the whole society is divided into two classes of proprietors and propertyless”

Derek Foster and Kris LeJeune's critique, focusing on the feminist standpoint of Desiree’s Baby, attempts to demonstrates how Desiree’s act to flee into the bayou is her first accomplishment of independence.

Visual Art Critique For my visual art critique, I attend the Texas State University Wittliff Collections on Tuesday, October tenth. During my visit I viewed works of art from the Lonesome Dove collection. The first piece of work I critiques was the photograph “Crossing the Rio Grande” taken by Bill Wittliff. This photo was taken on the set of the Lonesome Dove in 1988. What stood out to me was the significance of how real this photo is. So many slaves have tried to cross this river to escape persecution
someone enters an art gallery, they believe they are going to view art, but under the guise of Institutional Critique, this notion often false. Instead of being the traditional art of painting, sculptures, and installations, viewers encounter, in the work of Hans Haacke, Daniel Buren, and Michael Asher in the 1970s, not much to look at, but a lot to think about. In essence, Institutional Critique is a protest against museums/galleries demanding them to view art and art exhibition in new ways, exemplified
research weight from first critique to second critique. Since the question on emptiness charge must be taken on more practical responses, it seems to me Kant has undoubtedly realized this and attempted to mingle the theoretical and practical issues in Groundwork. For example in order to disentangle practical and transcendental freedom, Kant introduces another doctrine in the third section of Groundwork. This doctrine is essentially the same as one finds in the First Critique:
Schopenhauer's Criticism of Kant's Analysis of Object Schopenhauer makes it clear that he is indebted to Kant for his vision of transcendental idealism, and that his Critique of Pure Reason [2] is a work of genius. However, Schopenhauer argued that Kant made many mistakes when formulating his philosophy, and he set about the task of uncovering them in his Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy, an appendix to be found in The World as Will and Representation [1]. In this essay I wish to analyse
However, there seems to be a foundational flaw in Kant’s logic that he uses to justify synthetic a priori statements, like the ones from above, that defeat the argument. The issue sprouts from how to think about a term's definition. Being true by definition is a quality of a priori knowledge and also analytic statements, but Kant, in a sense, is attempting to argue that not all things true by definition are analytic knowledge. Consider what a definition really is, where it originated, and how it
In the Critique of Pure Reason, philosopher Immanuel Kant aims to thoroughly explain his philosophy of the metaphysical world. Within the Transcendental Aesthetic, Kant focuses on confirming that space and time are a priori intuitions. He provides reasoning and arguments as to why they are transcendentally ideal but empirically real, making space and time subjectively necessary for experiences. Simultaneously, Kant distinguishes space and time from secondary qualities, which belong to our senses
“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” These were the famous words Friedrich Nietzsche spoke and almost everyone in this world can probably relate to it.Lying seems so universal, but no one can really agree if it’s warranted or not.After reviewing a few opinionated and factual articles on lying, the opinionated conclusion is lying is almost always never justified unless it is to protect someone from getting hurt.
