    of the words’ interpretive meanings to create the ambience of Hailsham in Never Let Me Go. By doing so, he explains that interpretations of spaces within systems are subjective and specific to the human experiences that formulate them. Therefore, when analyzing Ishiguro’s intentions for the intimate spaces within Hailsham, it is critical to understand how spaces like the pavilion, dorms, gallery, etc. bring about the characters’ oppressed humanity. If Hailsham really is as amazing as

    phenomena. Thus at the root of existence in all its varied forms there is Will supporting them, manifesting itself in them. Will is not phenomenal, not given in Representation, not in time or space, not individualized, and not subject to the law of casualty. The Will in itself lies beyond the sphere of space, time and casualty, because these are subjective forms which spring into being only when a brain has been evolved. It can have no individuality, no distinction or difference, no end towards

    THE PARTICULAR AND THE UNIVERSAL IN MORALITY, METAPHYSICS, AND RELIGION In his second speech to the literary salon of Henrietta Herz, Friedrich Schleiermacher dismantles the perception of religion as a blending together of morality and metaphysics. He argues that such a hybrid can never truly function as religion and that to attack such a false construct is to fight against a shadow, rather than to engage the true subject (21). Morality, metaphysics, and religion all address the same subject matter—the

Transcendentalists believe the mind is where ideas are formed. The transcendentalist ideas of God, man, and the universe were not all original, but were a combination of other philosophies and religions.      One

    Four-dimensionalism is often seen in the field of metaphysics as a strong and sound solution to many puzzles. Whether that’s the Antinomy of Constitution, the Ship of Theseus, or the Paradox of Increase, four-dimensionalism always appears as a probable solution. But, four-dimensionalism is not the all-powerful solution it appears to be at first glance. The theory itself has many repercussions if it is taken to be true, leading me to dispute its overall validity. So what exactly is the four-dimensional
