Aristotle Says That the State Is Natural. What Does He Mean?
"Human beings have an impulse to live with others rather than in isolation" .

The Realtionship Between Death and Freedom in Sorrows of a Young Werther and Crime and Punishment

Truth, how is it to be defined? Is truth a persons own perception or is it a common perception, something that everyone can agree on? What really makes something true?

The Meaning of Culture
Culture is a term which is brandished with little regard to its actual meaning, likely due to the fact that there are hundreds of definitions trying to capture the essence of culture. One such definition, provided in a social psychology textbook, states that culture is ‘the enduring behaviours, ideas, attitudes, and traditions shared by a large group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next’ (Myers & Spencer, 12). While this is

The Truth and a Lengthy Excuse: An Essay on Winthrop Jordan and Eric Williams
The Truth and A Lengthy Excuse An essay on Eric Williams and Winthrop Jordan In Eric Williams’ essay, “Capitalism and Slavery”, the first thing he stresses is that racism came from slavery, not the other way around. Of course I was immediately put off by this statement after reading Winthrop Jordan’s “White over Black: American attitudes toward the Negro, 1550-1812”, which has quite the opposite idea stated in it.

For Some People Science Is the Supreme Form of Knowledge. Is This View Reasonable or Does It Involve a Misunderstanding of Science or Knowledge?
Naturalism is, ironically, a controversial philosophy. Our modern civilization depends totally for its existence and future survival on the methods and fruits of science, naturalism is the philosophy that science created and that science now follows with such success, yet the great majority of humans (at least 90% of the U.S. population) believe in the antithesis of naturalism--supernaturalism. Our culture persistently indulges and celebrates supernaturalism, and most people, including some scientists, refuse to systematically understand

Slavery and Freedom
For Edmund S. Morgan American slavery and American freedom go together hand in hand.

The aspects of liberty, race, and
