comedy is that it shall awaken thoughtful laughter." In other words‚ the best examples of comedy lead to laughter but also contribute to the meaning of the work and contain some degree of subtle commentary. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth‚ the porter scene following Duncan’s heinous slaying evokes this brand of "thoughful laughter."

In my essay I shall discuss Aquinas’ understanding that blame is excusable due to ignorance if and only if they are involuntarily ignorant.

Then I shall analyse this view‚ and conclude that whether or not the individual is blameable can‚ in some cases‚ only be prescribed by the individual. Aquinas as a Neo-Platonist believes that existence is a good in itself‚ therefore‚ all things that

Nor was it used at the end of a number. Thus numbers like 2 and 120 (2×60)‚ 3 and 180 (3×60)‚ 4 and 240 (4×60)
