The ‘Emancipation of Thought from Myth’ (1946) is an essay written by H and HA Frankfort which explains the history of thought from the Pre-Socratics (600BC - 470BC) in terms of philosophical and mythopoeic views. Throughout this essay, I will touch on specific concepts such as philosophical and mythopoeic thinking. Furthermore I will clarify the grounds on why the Pre-Socratics were regarded as philosophical thinkers rather than mythopoeic through their conception of humanization and rational reasoning

The Dualism of Human Nature and Its Social Conditions- Emile Durkheim According to Durkheim’s work The Dualism of Human Nature and Its Social Conditions (DHN), a man has a dual nature which is made up of the body (individual) and the soul (social). He sheds light on this by citing post-Durkheim theories which he does not agree with and which do not solve the problem of this dual nature. Durkheim also uses The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (EFRL) to discuss the religious aspect of the

personhood under the broad definition of meta-ethics he could be considered a person. When looking at it from the perspective of the mind and body complex it becomes evident that there are two opposing views. When examining at it from the point of view of monism, the belief that the mind cannot exist without the body, then Alphonse and the armoured man Edward faces cannot be considered human as they only have a mind and therefore it is not sufficient nor necessary to say they are the same person as they were

brain-neurons and how the brain is structured. The mind-body problem is about how these two interact. In this paper I am going to talk about whether the mind and body are separate or the same thing. A couple topics I am going to hit on are dualism and monism. These two are statements on how the mind and body work together or are two separate things. Dualism is the position that mind and body are in some categorical way separate from each other, and that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical

PHIL 310A 001 Michael Griffin November 26th, 2014 Levi Shiach 41026121 Why I Am A Platonist The term Platonism is used ambiguously throughout philosophical discourse. Under some renderings, it refers to the philosophy of Plato. However, the term platonism is more widely used in contemporary philosophy to describe the metaphysical view that abstract objects (that is, those that are non-spatial and non-temporal) exist (Piyong 206). Almost universally, the distinction between these two understandings

The major Eastern religious traditions have had a shaping effect on their societies in how they look at the world and the “hope” they offer their followers. Their traditions and beliefs are different than in the west. The four major religious traditions in the East are all older than western religions. Each religious tradition can be examined for common concepts and differences. Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism have several common concepts and several differences in: their worldviews

The Vedas and the Vedanta are texts that were writing during two different time periods in Hindu culture. While the Vedas and the Vedanta are still important texts in the Hindu tradition, they hold primary differences between theistic beliefs, religious practices, and contrasting understandings of karma. One of the differences between the Vedas and the Vedanta is their nature of believing in one or more gods. The Vedic era was solely polytheistic where there were examples of internal polytheism,

Monotheistic, polytheistic, and monistic religions are similar in comparison, but they are also very different. The monotheistic religion involves people who believe in the existence of only one God that created the entire universe (Van Voorst, 2013). In the monotheistic religion, God is considered powerful enough to control the entire universe. The polytheistic religion includes people who believe in the existence of several gods. The polytheistic religion usually has a supreme god that is superior

“Can a machine think?” Is a long lived question humans have had? If a machine can think then it must have the same intelligence as a human, then right? If a machine has human intelligence, then does that mean it has a mind of its own? It is desired by many humans to know if one day the answers to all these questions could be yes. In hopes of figuring this out, a testing method was created called the Turing Test. This test was created by an English mathematician named Alan Turing in the 1940s and
