Neighbor Principle The claim on tort of negligence is based on three elements‚ which are duty of care‚ breach of duty and the breach resulted in Damage. The case of Donoghue v Stevenson‚ regarding the snail in the bottle of ginger beer‚ reached the House of Lord in 1932. Lord Atkin formulated a general principle from it to govern the existence of a duty of care and this was the neighbor principle. In order for a duty of care owed there must be reasonable foresight of harm to persons whom‚ it is

* Bernoulli’s Principle * Vacuum- A space entirely devoid of matter. * Vacuums don’t exist in the Earth’s atmosphere as air molecules are constantly bouncing off each-other. If a vacuum ever existed in the atmosphere it would be filled very quickly because there would be no resistance against the excited air molecules. * This phenomenon is the driving principle behind airplane wings. As wind blows over the wing (see picture below) there is a pressure differential between the

Dismantling Descartes’ Divisibility Argument In this paper‚ I will be discussing René Descartes’ Divisibility Argument in support for the idea of substance dualism. Descartes first presented this argument during the sixth meditation within his philosophic treatise‚ “Meditations on First Philosophy.” After making a series of assumptions and providing his argument via three premises‚ he concludes that the mind and the body can indeed exist apart. I intend to step through each of Descartes’ assumptions

1)The Principle of Utility is the belief that when a person has a number of options in a moral situation he should chose the one that results in the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people.

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‚

I am skeptical as to whether Descartes’ believes in God and in his own reasons for saying God exists. I have first taken into consideration the fact that during this time and place it was highly frowned upon to disagree with the church and one can be put to death for this. When reading Descartes biography it stated that he pulled his material off from publication
