“Success is the peace that comes with knowing your accomplishments have purpose.” – Hutch Putnam – Success is a word that really hard to define, because everyone will have a different definition for this word. In fact, there no exact definition for the word "success". For a student, maybe the success means to pass all courses of the semester; for a business man, signing a importance contract and get a lot of money are successes; and for a president, leading the country to develop and make the
Tales of woe and loss surround us in everyday life. Sometimes it’s darkness, sometimes its failure, heartbreak, setbacks and whatever else. So I would like to dedicate this essay to my deceased crutch. Yes, my crutch. It would support me every day and help me through school as well as the dark ominous smog that is life itself. My crutch would bail me out of countless trouble and trials. Eventually, I depended on that crutch in an unhealthy way. Even so, my crutch it’s still one of the most important
definitions rely on their differences, they cannot possibly exist without each other. Therefore, they are not actually opposites. The simple and uncomplex natured reasoning behind this outrageous statement is useful when trying to understand and describe Martin Heideggers deeply leveled philosophy of Being and the nothing. Lao-tzus uncomplicated rationale used in stating that supposed opposites create each other, so cannot be opposite, is not unlike Heideggers description of the similarity between the opposites

He was a highly nervous child as his parents were very strict. He was beaten a lot at home and in school. Once when Luther was out he got caught in a thunderstorm and was terrified. He was so terrified that he made a promise to St. Anne that if he survived he would become a monk. He did. He became a professor

Class of 2012, tonight is the last time we will share together for many years. After tonight, we will begin a new chapter in our lives. This chapter will lead us away from each other, but the memories we've shared will continue to stay. The years behind us have been full of challenges and rewards; these experiences will be there to guide us as we branch out into the world. Let's take a moment to think back to the people and times that shaped us the last four years. Every teacher deserves a "thank
The Duality of Existence and Essence through St. Augustine and St. Thomas We have been studying in the course of the class the evolution of thought in the Western Civilization. This study has of course started with the Greek thinkers and philosophers. Their way of thought has had a great effect on the way the whole western civilization approached life, and the fundamental concepts behind it. Plato is the philosopher that most probably had the most influence on the way thought has evolved in
Human Mortality According to Heidegger Martin Heidegger (1889 -- 1976) was, and still is considered to be, along with the likes of Soren Kierkegaard, Edmund Husserl and Jean-Paul Sartre, one of the principal exponents of 20th century Existentialism. An extraordinarily original thinker, a critic of technological society and the leading Ontologist of his time, Heidegger's philosophy became a primary influence upon the thoughts of the younger generations of continental European cultural personalities
Johannes Gutenberg, a creator of the Renaissance, invented one of the greatest devices of all time, the printing press. Gutenberg was born in 1398 in Mainz, Germany to his parents, Friele and Else Gensfliesch. He also had two brothers. Not many people during Gutenberg’s time could read. But he was determined to be able to read. The only books back then were written by hand by monks and were very hard to come by. These books were also very expensive and would take a couple months to make. Because

In this essay Martin Luther comments upon the role of good works in a Christian's life and the overall goal of a Christian in his or her walk. He writes seventeen different sections answering the critics of his teachings. I will summarize and address each one of these sections in the following essay. In the first and second section, Martin Luther exclaims that if you want to know what good works to do, know the commandments and follow them accordingly. He also says not to judge works by their
“un-authentic” opinions un-substantiated with “authentic” thoughts, only then, when people and ourselves within will be able to fill opinion, judgement with true thoughts, un-burdened by existential and metaphysical necessity for comfort.

and what he thinks. I asked him first about what his religion was about, like a little summary about it. It all started with Martin Luther and his 95 Theses that he posted on a Church's door. What his Theses talked about were his problems with the Catholic Church. His biggest issues were with how the sacraments were used in the church and how the church is run. It was Martin Luther's Theses that started off the whole Protestant Reformation as well. After talking a bit about what the religion was about
the justice of God. The justice of God is meted out in His retributive righteousness. In many circles the retributive righteousness of God has been overemphasized at the expense of the remunerative righteousness of God. This is what happened before Martin Luther saw the truth of justification in Romans. Luther was so concerned with God’s retributive justice that he took excessive steps to punish himself for his own sin. When looking at the covenants of God there are clear guidelines for keeping the

Philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Martin Buber both emphasize how the presence of others in our lives and the bonds which we create with them define who we are and affects our self-perception. Both have their own theory of how this occurs. I will begin by discussing Sartre’s perspective on the subject, and Buber’s stance will follow. First, we will learn what Sartre’s “Bad Faith and Falsehood” teaches us. Sartre defines “consciousness” as a being conscious of its nothingness. He explains that
Fraud, murder, courage, and strong will are all words that can be linked to humanity. These words will often raise questions like, who did it, how they did it, or why. Can it be that the true answer to these questions lies in getting a better understanding of our human nature? Does man act according to his divine plan, or is he taught how to act? In analyzing the works of Hsün Tzu and Jean-Paul Sartre, I will determine which of these two philosophers offers the strongest foundation for living
