When it comes to philosophy the future is already set and no one knows what will happen until the time comes and that is called hard determinism.

    PHI 1000 Fall 2016 Prof. Drain Essay #2 Thoughts on Thought After examining the several angles to the issue of animal cognition, it is my conclusion that non-human animals are in fact capable of thought. Although humans certainly display a superior cognitive ability, I believe the cognition of animals is not of an entirely different type, and that whatever difference remains is simply one of degree. While Davidson and Descartes tend to argue that language is a necessary component for rational creatures, Hobbes and Searle give non-human creatures more “cognitive credit,” citing their ability perceive, and to have and correct beliefs, as proof of being conscious, thinking, beings. Pointing to the immense biological similarities between humans…

    This widened view of the world maximizes morality and understanding, and accelerates the flow of intelligent ideas. Socrates displays this in his wisdom and his actions, and Murphy describes this with his “piece of mind” analogy. Every individual may have their own opinions about how an intelligent and moral life is lived, but a philosophical attitude allows one to reside in a world of uncertainty with…

    In fact, the viewer is able to watch the characters within the movie change things around them by thinking about the outcomes that they want to happen.

    One of the most puzzling questions is “what does it mean to be human?” The definition of human is “ A member of the primate genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other apes by a large brain and the capacity for speech”("human"). The definition should also include “thoughts, intelligentes, are self-aware and have emotions”, because humans are complex and unique animals. All though Humans are very similar to chimps, “sharing 98 percent of our genes and many behaviors”, humans stand out due to their level of complex thoughts (Hsu). Some animals share characteristics with humans, such as social groups and communication, but humans take things to an unmatched level.…

    However, studies have shown that certain animals, like apes, have the capacity for theory of mind. Theory of mind is when an individual can recognize that their thoughts are their own, and what they know, others might not know (Premack & Woodruff, 1978). In the study by Premack and Woodruff, chimpanzees were presented with different situations in which a human was struggling with different things. For example, in one situation, the human was trying to get a banana that was out of their reach, in another example; the human was shivering because they were cold. The chimpanzees were given a bunch of pictures with possible solutions on them.…

    Jonathan Swift Satire

    Jonathan Swift in his satirical writing criticizes the economical deprivation many Irish are going through by introducing the idea of trading into his writing. The trading he utilizes does not indicate regular market trading in which no humans are put into oppression but trading in which Great Britain used to gain its own interest without considering conditions of other parties. Swift amplifies the selfish characteristics of British landlords and nobles by not only overpraising their goodness and drawing parallel between poor Irish and objects being sold, including slaves but also implying the fraud of these greedy landlords. In early 18th century, Great Britain was expanding its colonial powers.…
