Despite its racially diverse population and wide variety of distinct socioeconomic groups‚ American society maintains an astoundingly stable cultural narrative. While every nation must maintain a relatively steady societal identity‚ American ideology has traditionally favored conservative attitudes. While such a stance provides protections against radical infringements upon individual rights‚ it also leads to entrenched attitudes‚ polarized beliefs‚ and rigid resistance to progressive reforms.

Explain Descartes version of the ontological argument? Ontology is the branch of philosophy that explores the whole concept of existence. Thomas Aquinas argued that a reason as to why the ontological argument does not work is that we do not know what God is‚ Descartes disagreed with this. Descartes‚ who was a very influential mathematician‚ philosopher and scientist‚ believed‚ similarly to Anselm and Plato previously‚ that human beings mind’s are imprinted with concepts such as equality‚ cause‚
Premium Ontology Existence Omnipotence
A physical object as the ability to push‚ pull‚ move other objects around‚ although the mind is unable to do these physical activities‚ it sill has the ability to influence the body and the outside world. Could something that cannot be seen nor touched have the ability to exist within the physical realm? How can the body‚ something we can physically study and view‚ correspond with the mind‚ this thing that has no way of being seen? This remonstration is often referred as the “Mind-body Problem”.

controversy advanced by Descartes in his most outstanding work‚ Meditations on First Philosophy‚ respecting the presence of God and the role God partakes in the pursuit of sure knowledge‚ we are able to clarify that although the intensions of the Cartesian project were praiseworthy‚ the existence of various philosophical deviations and probable guesswork depleted its legitimacy beyond reconstruction. The formation of the reality of God is absolutely crucial to Descartes’ epistemic project. In the

I’m not totally sure that you have to get rid of one or the other‚ but Nihilism theories seem to have a lot less explanatory power than do dualistic ones to me. In this paper I will argue that the clearest difference between Descartes and Nietzsche here is that whereas Descartes thought that ideas are passive‚ Nietzsche thought the opposite. Well‚ Descartes tries to prove the existence of God‚ which is the condition of establishing/ensuring an external world‚ including inter-subjectivity‚ in his

Socrates and Descartes on Dualism Dualism means the complete separation of the mental world and the physical world. In philosophy‚ it is the theory that the universe is explicable only as a whole composed of two distinct and mutually exclusive factors: the mind and the body. Socrates and Plato are called dualists because they think that mind and body are separate and distinct substances. Mind is conscious and non-spatial and body is spatial but not conscious. While separate‚ these two substances

In “Descartes on Gods Ability to Do the Logically Impossible‚" La Croix point outs that Descartes’ view of God is “complicated because his account of God’s omnipotence occurs exclusively in his treatment of the Cartesian doctrine that God created the eternal truths.” Descartes only proves that he possess the innate ideas of God. They do not serve a evidence to the existence of

Map Projections A way of representing the earth’s curved surface on a flat surface of map is known as map projections. A globe represents the most accurate position‚ place of different things present on earth but a globe is not practical for many of the functions for which we require a flat map. Map projections help us to represent most of the earth’s surface at a wide variety of scales‚ on a flat‚ easily transportable surface. A globe is the true representation of distance‚ direction‚ area‚

Even though all real fluids are viscous to some degree‚ if the effects of viscosity are sufficiently small then the accompanying frictional effects may be negligible. Viscous effects become negligible‚ for example‚ for flows at high Reynolds number that are dominated by convective transport of momentum. Thus potential flow is often useful for analyzing external
