"authoritative discourse" of religion. His awareness of being "fallible" to his sense of touch causes Stephen to realize that his natural drives take a stronger hold of him than do the constraining norms of religion.   But it was to the mortification of touch that he brought the most assiduous ingenuity of inventiveness (163).     It is the most difficult task for Stephen to deny his sense of touch. His sense of touch requires him to come up with "the most [...] inventiveness". This is

Choices are everywhere, some here, and some there, some good and others, not so good. “The Road Not Taken” is a poem written by Robert Frost which is all about choices, and how tradition affects those. In “The Road Not Taken”, Frost conveys that someone who decides to take a different path from the usual, leaves traditions behind and has new choices. One way how Frost shows that someone who leaves the path of tradition has new choices is through symbolism. This first line of the poem shows symbolism

Pyrrhonian skeptics and Descartes’s response to skepticism are two interesting reads that make one curious. Pyrrhonian skepticism has a goal which is the suspension of judgment and tranquility, while Descartes brings reason and doubt to the senses about what one perceives and feels. This essay will inform about the Pyrrhonian skeptic and the response Decartes has to the skeptic views. There are two philosophers, Phyrrho and Sextus Empiricus. Phyrrho lived around “360-270 BCE in his hometown of Ellis

differ on what can and cannot consider to be true. Descartes and Whitman had very different ideas of the self and what could affect the self. While Whitman believed that man could achieve knowledge of the self through the senses, Descartes argued that man should throw the senses to the side and only believe in what we could distinctly perceive and truly understand. However, if man mixes both of these philosopher’s thoughts on the “self” then he can really grow to understand and experience the world

question, one first has to consider that knowledge as such varies on the point of perspective, since there are many ways of knowing. As for example Reasoning and Sense Perception. Reasoning is something we use whenever we tend to make a decision, therefore the interpretation of the word “Reason” can vary in the slightest form. Our sense of reason is usually decided by our instinct as we decide almost unconsciously depending on the sort of experience we have had before.

Often times, our senses can trigger memories that are hidden in the crevices throughout our brain. The smell of fresh linen can activate a childhood memory of playing in the backyard while a parent hangs wet laundry on a clothesline. The taste of gingerbread ice-cream can awaken a memory of visiting grandma’s house. The sight of purple daisies can arouse a memory of attending a wedding decorated with purple daisies. Senses stimulate our memories because according to cultural anthropologist Constance

emphasizes that knowledge does not rely on a person’s senses but rather applying the ability to reason their thoughts. Descartes further explains that people cannot fully rely on their senses because those senses are flawed when attempting to describe the ultimate truth. Therefore, when a person relies on their senses to describe something, it is a different answer when compared to someone else’s senses. If people follow this theory of following their senses only, then there will be no gain of discovering

you listened to music? “Synesthesia; the neurological phenomenon that couples two or more senses in 4% of the population,” (Cytowic, Richard) can alter your senses to enhance another sense involuntarily (Dickinson, Annie). This means that two of the five senses would associate with each other to be used in sync. The five senses, sight, smell, sound, taste and touch can be used, however in this case, the senses sight and sound are combined and this is called chromesthesia. Synesthetes, those who have

with Imperialism and the insincerity that surrounds it is baffling, as Marlow is traveling in and out of the many stations that neighbor the river he is on. Marlow is in awe, as he has to encounter and be a bystander of much torture, cruelty and a sense of slavery that these station workers possess and fight for on a daily basis, highly focusing on the Inner and Outer Station or Central Station.
