It’s all in the game. Though these words belong to the nefarious Omar Little of HBO’s critically acclaimed “The Wire” and not Plato, they nonetheless remain relevant. If anything, “the game” is akin to Plato’s allegory of the cave and the shadows that it casts. That being said, I will make the argument that anyone who doesn’t play by the rules of the game or tries to alter it, much like the prisoner who sees the light and goes back to aid his fellow prisoners, will be rejected. The only means of

The segment of The Wire I have chosen to analyze begins at 54:14 in episode 13, season 1 and runs through 103:34, comprising four different locations and eight scenes changes. Two main elements hold these scenes together as a coherent segment—camerawork/editing, particularly at the beginning of each scene, and thematic material. Thematically, each of these scenes exhibits a passing of torches. We see the changes of power that are developing in the police department and on the streets: Lt. Daniels

The topic, “What is knowledge?” can be taken many ways. Knowledge is a justified belief, one that is different opinion. Knowledge is the basis to which beliefs are known, whereas an opinion is a belief which is not known. Unit III A focuses on the etymology of the word knowledge which is defined as the study of epistemology. Philosophy finds its “true beginning” from the study of epistemology. To have knowledge means to find an equal ground between true beliefs and justified beliefs. For the basis

as something called propositional attitudes. To elaborate, a propositional attitude is an internal mental state that an individual holds towards a proposition (the individual may have various propositional attitudes towards a single proposition, for example: I believe that the rabbit is fluffy. I hope that the rabbit is fluffy. There is one proposition, but two propositional attitudes: belief and hope.) These propositional attitudes can be thought of as the carriers of folk psychology, in that they

2016. Proposition 65 should be passed because the profit made from the paper bag fee will go towards environmental projects, environmental projects are important because it affects everyone and has to be solved at one point and why wait until it gets serious to the point that our taxes might increase. It is specifically on how it wants the paper bag fee to be spent on environmental projects instead of it being pocket money for the retail/grocery store. If voters vote no on the proposition, then they

1. What are the “first possible parse” and “last possible parse” hypotheses? According to Libben, if the process of prelexical parsing were a left-to-right parsing procedure, then the “first possible parse” hypothesis would indicate the separation of the first constituent. On the other hand, the “last possible parse” hypothesis would result in separate activation. 2. What other alternative do the experiments test? The experiments showed that none of hypothesis clarified prelexical

Indexicals are important distinguishers of context within sentences. They are expressions that can be uttered by multiple speakers, and have a different meaning or implication each time it is spoken. For me to say “I am Sarah Elshater” has one meaning, for my older brother to say “I am Sarah Elshater” has a completely separate meaning –and would likely cause concern within my family should he say such a thing. In The Problem of the Essential Indexical by John Perry, the notion of “locating beliefs”

Cupid, being the agent of love, is therefore blind to appearance. Cupid is often portrayed in art as wearing a blindfold, "painted blind". Yet, the following passage contains some argument and has been interpreted as argument. Therefore, the entire propositions preceding the first judgment and/ or claim of the passage serve as premises. Exercises 11: This is an explanation passage; the author explains the

Sarah Oliver Presentation Heidegger April 19, 2012 In Lecture I of Part II, Heidegger points out that asking the question of “What is called thinking” can be incredibly diverse and complicated because there is not just one explanation for the question, although at a glance it seems pretty simple to explain. He stresses four ways in which the question can be posed. The first way asks what is designated by the word “thinking,” the second asks what logic has to do with thought, the third asks
