Rene Descartes/ The Evil Demon
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy. Descartes' train of logic in this work caused him to speculate on the very basis for what constitutes reality. This train of thought, in turn, caused him to postulate that he might have been deceived by some 'evil genius,' who influenced his senses to provide him with inaccurate information. The writer argues that the concept of the 'evil demon' played an intrinsic role in Descartes' overall argument and discusses its implications. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Confucius And Benevolence
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The writer discusses how Confucius recognized the fact that humanity has turned into a selfish, egotistical and myopic entity. No longer are people more concerned with others than they are with themselves. This move away from benevolence has caused considerable harm to man's reputation, as well as to the manner in which people interact. However, there does not appear to be any signs of significant change to this gross lack of social responsibility; therefore, it is safe to assume that mankind will continue down the road of self-centeredness.
