Existential psychotherapy is based upon the fundamental belief that each individual experiences psychological and emotional difficulties. These psychological and emotional difficulties are viewed as inner conflicts due to his or her interaction with certain conditions inherent in human existence called givens. The theory recognizes at least four primary existential givens: freedom and associated responsibility, death, isolation, meaninglessness (Corey, 2017, pp. 144). In therapy, the client discovers

The Comparable and Contrastable Philosophies of Kierkegaard and Kant In this paper, I will investigate the comparable and contrasting views of Soren Kierkegaard and Immanuel Kant. Their extraordinary journeys towards the meaning of morality and ethics is riveting, spiritual, universal, and in many ways, incredibly different. My conclusion is that though there are aspects which bind their theories together, ultimately both men possess different understandings of what morality is and how an individual

Our primary interest is to identify how congestion growth affects income growth in a metropolitan region. In Table 2 and 3, the results of the simultaneous equation models show that the coefficient estimates for congestion growth are negative and significant at the 10% level. That is, congestion growth has a negative effect on income growth in both 2000s and 1990s. Specifically, every one-percentage increase in congestion growth leads to a 0.07% and a 0.19% decrease in income growth during 2000s

The question of God’s existence, will, and manifestation, in some form or another, is one that has crossed the mind of virtually every person over 8,000 years and continues to be questioned and reinterpreted, and shaping our society as our answers to that question change over the years. Three of the most influential thinkers to attempt to define God, and God’s existence are David Hume (1711-1776), Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831). The beliefs of these philosophers

Simone de Beauvoir asserts that “one is not born, but, rather, becomes a woman (Bailey, Alison, and Cuomo 97).” In this analytical paper, I will attempt to relate to this to my “becoming a man,” as well as comparing and contrasting this claim with other feminist philosophers’ ideas. Also, I will try to explain how de Beauvoir’s ideas are beneficial to society and to individual people. From birth to the first day in school, children seem to be concerned with food, love, and rest. From first grade

We’ve all been there before, searching for something to watch on TV, 500 channels and nothing catches our attention until we hear the yelling of the televangelist, “YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE FAITH! QUIT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL! LET GO AND LET GOD!” For some that may be the solution they are searching for. They might be frustrated or let down by their own efforts of understanding. But does faith begin with “letting go (of reason and understanding) and letting God (reveal Himself to us)”? Is there any

In the world today, society has created individuals that conform to the expected norms and those that rebel against them. In each of the pieces selected there is a character that conforms to meet the needs of the society. A conformist is someone who follows the rules that are given to them without any complaints.

In The Outsider, Albert Camus uses the technique of foreshadowing to develop the plot and to create a parallelism between the two parts of the novel. By creating a parallelism between the two parts of the novel, Camus is able to emphasize certain ideas that he has deemed important. The idea is first subtly represented in Part I and only upon critical investigation can it be seen again in Part II. This technique can be seen in many instances in Part I due to its descriptive nature of Meursault’s day
