Science: Known as both writer and poet, Shakespeare not only influenced the ways of Literature, but also the ways of Science. In his writings we can see the Science and logic behind his words, which is to be expected for he did live during the First Stage of the Scientific Revolution. There is a book called The Science of Shakespeare by Dan Falk, that explains how much he was connected to the world and its new discoveries. In it Falk discusses how Shakespeare “observed human nature just as…

The Picture of Dorian Gray: A Professor’s Analysis “There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.” (Wilde 3). There are many debates about the greatest book that ever existed, and this debate will continue to rage on but what is undeniable is that The Picture of Dorian Gray is definitely a well written book. The morality of this book however is a different issue altogether as this book discusses many different themes from youth…

“What can I do for you?” Dr. Moi poses after asking everyone at the table for their name, major, and why they are interested in a Scandinavian course. With an infectious energy and enthusiasm for the topics, she suggests we begin with Fear and Trembling, venture to Ibsen (who she wrote a book about, Henrik Ibsen and the Birth of Modernism), and end with a general discussion of Norway. Dr. Hedman asks, “do you know of a particular part of Fear and Trembling that gets students interested in the…

Public opinion is, in many ways, like science. A scientist will hear about or notice something and form an opinion. Good scientists will then continue to look into it to prove or disprove their original opinion, while less determined scientists will stick with what they originally found. Public opinion follows a very similar path. From the early years of school, people are taught that Christopher Columbus is a hero to the people of America. Many accept this notion as it is taught and move on;…

METHODOLOGY For studying this topic further I would like to use the method of case study. The following cases will be analyzed: 1. Entick v. Carrington 2. Ashby v. White 3. Marzette v. Williams 4. Constantine v. Imperial London Hotels 5. Morningstar v. Lafayette Hotel Company and lastly, 6. Bhim Singh v. State of Jammu and Kashmir INJURIA SINE DAMNO The maxim injuria sine damno literally means a legal wrong that causes no actual damage to anyone, this means that a tortious act…

1. Explain the overall concept of Argument by Analogy using the example of the Watchmaker from the reading by Paley as a possible Argument by Analogy. An analogical argument is an inductive argument, where existing similarities are used to conclude some further similarities between two things are yet to occur. An analogical argument can be represented in the following way. This form of argument is often used in cases where one thing (X) is accepted, and another thing (Y) is not. The Watchmaker…

The Dark Mountain Manifesto Rhetorical Analysis Environmentalist writing can take on many different forms; the Dark Mountain Manifesto is no one of those. If anything the Dark Mountain Manifesto is the complete opposite of environmentalist literature. At first, however, it was not obvious that this article was meant to be post-environmentalism, post-green revolution, and post-green technology. The heavy usage of rhetoric and alluding language makes it clear that the author does not want to…

Epistemology Origins Problem Solution Destiny Naturalism The epistemology of Naturalism is based on the scientific method. Reason and scientific observation determines truth in this worldview. Naturalists explain the origins of humanity through the theory of evolution. Many Naturalists believe in the “big bang” as the origins of matter and the human race. Naturalists can’t specifically find a problem because they feel that this is the way things are supposed to be. Creatures survive and die…

auxiliary hypotheses are in the reciprocal logical connections with the hardcore theory. In other words, “the data follow (quasi-deductive) form the auxiliary hypotheses, and the auxiliary hypotheses from the core theory. In that sense, the data that support an auxiliary hypothesis is theory-laden within the larger context of the paradigm. However, in virtue of that very fact, they support the auxiliary hypotheses and the core theory in turn.” Moreover, auxiliary hypotheses may reinforce or be…
