Shelley ’s View on Knowledge In the present-day society‚ knowledge and technology play a large role in our everyday lives. Humanity has reaped huge benefits from our continuous pursuit of knowledge; knowledge is one of the major factors that have helped mankind gain the position of the dominant species on this planet. However‚ knowledge is like fire; it can bring us huge benefits‚ but it can also cause devastating negative effects. This is shown in Mary Shelley ’s Frankenstein: or the Modern Prometheus

Aristotle’s View of Politics Political science studies the tasks of the politician or statesman (politikos)‚ in much the way that medical science concerns the work of the physician (see Politics IV.1). It is‚ in fact‚ the body of knowledge that such practitioners‚ if truly expert‚ will also wield in pursuing their tasks. The most important task for the politician is‚ in the role of lawgiver (nomothetês)‚ to frame the appropriate constitution for the city-state. This involves enduring laws‚ customs

My View on Politics Without politics‚ the world would be in chaos due to the lack of discipline. Politics help to organize the laws of the land‚ and help us to find people that would lead us to a better place than we were. But politics can also lead to corruption within the state and person. Politics can bring mud-slinging words to unneeded arguments and harsh comments to simple videos. That is why I believe that politics have a good side‚ a bad side‚ and an ugly side. Life has many good things

excellent explanation for why we should not fear death. To understand Epicurus’s philosophy on the fear of death‚ we fist have to understand Epicurus’s perception of the universe‚ and why he believes the soul is mortal. Further‚ when justifying Epicurus’ view point‚ it may be very useful to distinguish between three particular concepts from one another; that being: ‘dying‚ death‚ and being dead’‚ as each are significantly different from one another.

in ways that tend to cause us great pain. I found it quite interesting that Aristotle used death as something we are not troubled because it is not close at hand. I would agree that most people don’t fear death when they are young because they don’t view it as imminent as those who are older do. I do agree with Aristotle when he says‚ “Of those we have wronged‚ and of our enemies or rivals‚ it is not

Freud’s view of civilization emerges from his understanding of the struggle between Eros and Death. Freud expresses the existence of two contrary instincts‚ Eros and Death‚ via starting from the speculations on the beginning of life and biological parallels. While Eros preserves the living substance and joins it into larger units‚ such as societies‚ Death dissolves these units and brings them back to their primeval state. The death drives appear to be regressive‚ striving for a return to a less differentiated
