Aristotle’s explanations of form and substance are arguably amongst the most potent solutions to the body-mind problem.

On the contrary, the body and the soul are independent of one another, and the combination of the two makes up an animal. What Aristotle says is that the body is the subject matter, while the soul is the essence. The soul is what makes a body be ...

World history is fraught with violence. From time immemorial, violence has been regarded as the only solution to all human conflicts.

“After a war, people, should return to their homes, set everything right and start life again,” Eliza told herself for about the fiftieth time in the past fifty seconds.

I pushed open the gate to the manor house and stepped onto the pathway. The wind was howling through the trees; the storm made the rugged English moors even more menacing than usual. I glanced down at the piece of paper I was holding and read, once again, the address on the front. I was definitely in the right place. Madeline was here somewhere.

I walked forwards up the stone pathway. The manor house was more like a castle, with stain glass windows and imposing turrets sticking up into the night sky. I couldn’t see any lights on inside ...

Alfred Edward Houseman’s elegy resembling poem “To An Athlete Dying Young” possesses an almost cynical perspective of disenchantment with life, where the only true way of capturing glory is to die immediately after one achieves his highest accomplishment and reaches greatness. This way, he will forever remain in the minds of those who will carry them to eternity “shoulder-high” (Houseman 278). This is a highly thought provoking poem, forcing its readers to rethink and reevaluate life and its true meaning, its inner essence. It is a view of death not as a melancholy and cumbersome occasion, but one of happiness and ...

The main reason why the Gohyaku Rakanji Temple was considered “strange” was a technique of “immediate-impact hall, the first in Japanese Buddhist history” (Screech 415).

Another particular feature of the construction was that the Turbo Hall was three-storied instead of a regular, single-story building characteristic for temples of Edo period (Screech 417). It was also opened to all visitors, which was not regular for other Japanese temples, pagodas or praying houses (Screech 417). Another peculiarity of the Turbo Hall was its ...
