Abstract Thomas Aquinas’ five ways are his arguments of the five proofs that God exists in some form, these five ways have standard abjections. The arguments are named as follows: argument from motion, arguments from causation, arguments from contingency, argument from gradations of goodness, and the argument of governance.

Besides, I know of a man from England – a modest man –who for me is no less great than Goethe. I talked with him for scarcely an hour, but during that hour he was Goethe... I did it because I felt the Chief somehow feared people of

will discuss these two characters as being “absented” from reality, since they are rejected as ugly. I will substantiate this essay by making use of two major theories: “Repetition-in-Rapture” by Gayatri Spivak and “Powers of Horror, an Essay on Abjection” by Julia Kristeva. The essay will also offer various textual evidence to show the outcome of each character’s internalised oppression. The Bluest Eye explores the remaining effects of black self-hatred through the main characters of Pecola and Pauline

A traditional view of homosexuality is that it is perceived as wrong. It is to be avoided, to be ‘othered’, and is subject to social abjection . In Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble, she identifies a need for a new interpretation of gender against the previous regime of ‘gender hierarchy and compulsory heterosexuality.’ In this essay, I will argue that Judith Butler’s approach to gender politics is an improvement on previous attitudes towards homophobia.

Composers create a representation of the future by incorporating contextual beliefs, knowledge, and values to highlight the impact of humanity’s hubris. Despite a chronological disparity, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982) excoriate the cognitive estrangement of mankind’s attempts to usurp the role of God and our Technicism ideology; mankind’s obsession with transcendence will ironically result in the regression of human integrity.

Within the Chapman’s portfolio violence, abjection and fetishism combine to form an aesthetic immersed in taboo.
