The Positive Leveling Progression Of Humanity Towards Humanities

One way in which in which we see that death is slowly overtaking life is by the comparison between the sea and the land. The sea represents the death due to the shipwreck which occurred a century ago and the “savage dark fish” “tearing their prey apart”. The land represents life with it’s calm atmosphere and docile animals including sheep and cattle. The

We are discussing space exploration, and looking at it through the lens of social science and the lens of the humanities.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark has been performed thousands of times since it was “written in 1599–1601 and published in a quarto edition in 1603” (Britannica.com). It’s popularity stems from its themes that translate across time. These themes, are seen to be relatable even to this day with the ever growing audience. Readers and viewers are able to find similarities between the current state and or even relate to one of the characters or events taking place over the course of Shakespeare’s five act masterpiece. Shakespeare's, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark remains a viable text for contemporary readers in that it functions as a mirror.

William Shakespeare’s Hamlet has been widely regarded as one of the greatest tragedies ever written. One prominent theme exemplified in this particular play is the theme of rottenness or decay. Shakespeare uniquely uses disease, rotting, and decay in order to reveal the manifestation and consequence of moral corruption. Physical corruption mirrors the moral corruption within the characters in the play. The moral corruption in Denmark is showcased for the readers throughout the play by images of physical corruption and disease. Shakespeare argues in Hamlet that sin or moral corruption is like a disease that leads one to one’s own “death” or demise. Nobody is immune from it.

As people develop change is inevitable but change, often times, is both painful and unwelcome. In most cases, it breeds conflict particularly in regard to societal expectations. Whether the change is realized slowly or in a drastic manner, it still faces opposition and often reveals a side of a character I am not aware of.  Kafka’s two works, In The Metamorphosis and In the Penal Colony  show how conflict emerges and develops at different stages as a result of the resistance to change depicted in various of the characters.

In Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Kierkegaard differentiates between the subject as the knower, and the world (object) as the known: the only way we know the world is through ourselves. Kierkegaard emphasizes the importance of "how" the subject is related to the truth,

Kierkegaard’s position on faith is represented with the Knight of infinite resignation and the Knight of faith. The Knight of faith is regarded as the one who believes in that which is absurd. For, he is the knight that is able to believe in the things that are

According to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, what are ten ways we can build support for the humanities?

One major cultural change to the humanities were wall paintings. In the Paleolithic times there were wall paintings on the wall that basically showed that humans lived during this time and were surviving. Figures of people were drawn and animals. Moving into the Neolithic period the wall paintings were more intricate. You could see animal and human movement in pictures. Like people dancing or fighting, showing something more than just a drawing. You could see humans were advancing by using bow and arrows to hunt, as shown in some paintings. Another cultural change would be people becoming herders and farmers rather than hunters and gathers. People in the Paleolithic time were hunters and gathers they moved with the migration, while the Neolithic

Thusly it is seen that Kierkegaard seemed to almost be fixated on discrediting Hegel and the Romantics. Comparisons of such dialectically opposed philosophies are difficult to explore, since one is so critical of the other. However, as mentioned above, both must be credited to the influences of Romanticism. Hegel redefined their “world spirit”

Starting with Kierkegaard, it is best to understand that he has a deep fulfillment to God and that he feels is the absolute. This absolute is to live in the realm of a paradox and that paradox is proving the existence of God and experiencing it for yourself. To understand this is to go through the different stages, of aesthetic, moral and religious. The aesthetic is all about the individual and focuses on oneself as an individual. The moral is having to be antagonistic towards yourself in

The mere words, “And I am sick at heart” (I. i. 9) are the first to present the theme of sickness and disease in Act l of Shakespeare's Hamlet. He uses the ghost of Denmarks now dead king, “Hamlet”, to help highlight and symbolize these concepts along with disorder and corruption. Both personal and political corruption in Denmark is emphasized with a few quotations from the story. First, the fact that this ghost resembles someone the people of Denmark, and even family friends know, brings a personal tie into the story. “In the same figure, like the king that’s dead.”

So it is the HOW which is important to Kierkegaard, not the WHAT. The strongest example of his reasons for this comes in his

In this essay, I will try to summarize, analyze and discuss several pages of Søren Kierkegaard’s Training in Christianity. I will try to focus on his approach to sacred history, a general Christian history and Christianity, which he discusses in this work in relation to faith in God. In other parts of this essay I will attempt also to relate these pages of his work to some key ideas of Kierkegaard’s theology and philosophy and support this with some concrete quotations from the text. In the end I will very briefly compare different philosophies of Hegel and Kierkegaard and try to relate Kierkegaard’s work to a few topics, which

In Henrik Ibsen’s play, ‘Ghosts’, the public opinion and the moral system pollutes, deforms and corrupts each character. For instance, Mrs. Alving struggles to liberate herself from the society’s norm that stands in the way of her freedom. Ibsen believed people should not live like Mrs. Alving or in a society that deprives one from their ‘joy of living’. It could be argued the play is especially pessimistic, but actually it is not in fact Ibsen is optimistic about overcoming the restrictions that stop us from being authentic. He wants to break free of the ideas and the ‘Ghosts’, which trap us. Even, in the last scene of his play, ‘When We Dead
