años, varios filósofos como Aristóteles han tratado de dar una definición a qué es lo que nos hace humanos. Al mismo tiempo, muchos ecuatorianos nos hemos preguntado qué es ser mestizo y qué consecuencias nos trae ese hecho. El objetivo de este ensayo será intentar definir qué es lo que nos hace humanos, enfocándonos en los textos de Bauman, Mill y Aristóteles y también tratar de responder la pregunta sobre nuestra descendencia. La definición que escribió Aristóteles parece la más precisa y lógica
en østlig filosof. Disse filosofene er Aristoteles, Simone de Beauvoir og Laozi. Først vil jeg presentere deres filosofi, med hovedvekt på deres syn på kjønn og kjønnsroller. Deretter vil jeg drøfte hva som har påvirket deres syn på temaene. Jeg vil legge mest vekt på filosofene Simone de Beauvoir fordi hun har hatt stor betydning for feministiske tenkning i moderne tid, og Aristoteles fordi hans filosofi har preget europeisk filosofi i nyere tid. Aristoteles levde fra 384 til 322 fvt. og er en kjent
history. This essay will go through that process by comparing his standpoint with how the term leisure was applied to certain activities during ancient Rome and England through the centuries. In doing so the essay will reveal how the relevance of Aristoteles statement has diminished with time. Aristotle in explaining his definition of leisure drew a clear line between leisure and play (Pike & Price, 2008, p. 13). It is this line that separates the examples throughout history. His view of happiness
civil society can be found in the Greek concept of political community employed by Aristoteles (384-322 BC), who identified it with the existence
The Metaphor of Light The classical unresolved problem of the active intellect, raised by Aristotle in De Anima III.5, has received several interpretations in the history of philosophy. In this paper, I will recover the old hypotheses according to which the active intellect is the god of Aristotle's metaphysics. I propose that if the active intellect is god, it is not an efficient cause but the final cause of human thought-the entelecheia of the human rational soul. Nevertheless, the problem of

During years, animals have been scientifically used to experiment with the purpose of testing medicines, to develop new cures and to support the scientific advancements. Animal testing is needed to preserve human life. Is why experimentation for medical purposes should be carried out, instead of scientists performing dangerous test in humans. Animal testing has been used since early times. The first writings about dissection on animals are from as early as 500 BC and Physician-scientists such as
An Analysis of Gulliver's Travels When I first started reading the book I thought its only purpose was to talk about the political system in England. But after some pages I found that there could be a deeper message concealed, between the lines somewhere. The book is divided into four minor novels. The first is about the Lilliputian's the second about Gulliver visits the giants, the third about the flying island and last about Gullivers travels to the land of Houyhnhmland. In the first
patients get more personalized care from their doctors, and handsome criminals receive lighter sentences than less attractive convicts, but recent debates have asked, do good-looking people get better jobs than an average looking person? According to Aristotele “Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference” In my opinion, better-looking people do get better jobs. I do not necessarily agree with this however I think that people like to deal with pretty people. In the service

“Self” is the identity bestowed upon humans that allows us to distinguish ourselves from one another. A persons unique psyche is what entitles them to be considered an individual and mindfully independent. This distinct self identity follows a person through out every facet of their lives.

Despite many opinions, the true “self” does not come from our physical body, it comes from the mind and the soul
Should prostitution be legal? Prostitution is one of the oldest and most controversial professions on earth. According to records, prostitution was a normal practice of the earliest known civilizations. Ancient Greeks and Roma governments went as far as sponsoring brothels to ensure their citizens could afford a prostitute. The emergence of religions like Christianity and Islam transformed the moral views society had toward prostitution. Following a tremendous pressure from the religious authorities
The concept of Multiple Intelligences has come out after Howard Gardner redefined intelligence. According to Gardner’s theory, human beings have different types of intelligence and based on their respective intelligence types, human beings have different skills in different areas. Human beings can be more successful and productive on areas they are skillful. Therefore, choosing appropriate professions, in accordance with one’s intelligence type, is important for individuals as well as for the society

According to Aristotle, integrity can be defined as the “particular quality men acquire by constantly acting in a particular way”. It is the sense of honesty and rectitude, towards our moral and ethical principles. We’ve discussed at length how compromising integrity can damage our reputation, how people decide to act against integrity for personal benefits, and ultimately cause irreparable damage among followers. So is it really worth compromising integrity for a big paycheck? Is losing reputation

In these forms of reasoning it is possible to distinguish
