In this paper, I will discuss the present-at-hand and the ready-at-hand in Heidegger’s philosophy. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is a German philosopher who is often thought of in terms of the Existentialist movement in Continental philosophical tradition, but who did not prefer to be classified as an existentialist (McBride 131). Heidegger concerns himself with the deep metaphysical question of being in his book Being and Time — a job he never completed in his lifetime (Blattner 9). Heidegger has an ambitious project in his book — that is fundamentally to investigate being, a project he feels has been forgotten by philosophers (Heidegger 1). Theologians ...

A brief review of its use and effectiveness

The word ‘war’ for any nation signifies the danger or uncertain situation imposed upon it by another nation or army. Acknowledging that the nation is in war, calls upon its citizens to do all they can individually and collectively to help the country fight the war. For the citizens, war and war threat situations have been seen to induce a sense of patriotism and unity, in the face of the common enemy. This is exactly what the politicians and law enforcement people seek to leverage by raising war rhetoric in crime prevention. War rhetoric is increasingly resorted to as a means ...

Sara may be well-intentioned, but she and St. Gregory's are going about things the wrong way. Sara Miles was an atheist who believed in the secular world, but one day she walked inside a church and after partaking in the Holy Communion her life changed completely.

This is an act that thousands and thousands of Christians are involved in every Sunday but to her it was an experience ...

Philosopher Jacques Lacan describes the mirror stage in psychoanalysis as the moment when someone (usually an infant around six months of age) recognizes themselves in the mirror: "The child, at an age when he is for a time, however short, outdone by the chimpanzee in instrumental intelligence, can nevertheless already recognize as such his own image in a mirror" (Lacan). This is meant to be the moment where we are able to understand our own appearance and transcribe it onto another object. In the case of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," the unnamed narrator of the story begins ...

Abstract

Hamlet and Lawrence of Arabia portray morally conflicted characters plagued with feelings of doubt and self-disgust over their inability to resolve for themselves the ambiguities endemic to a world seemingly bereft of a moral center. Both are caught up in the violent cycle of revenge and the torments of conscience.

I was never comfortable with this relationship since some of his values conflict with the Christian principles she was taught and the ones I am trying to uphold.

We love God; she grew up knowing the principles of truth and was offered perfect examples to make better ...
