Can someone explain and analyze this sentence from David Hume's 'A Treatise of Human Nature' please??? Thanks!? Hume said: 'Two men who pull the oars of a boat, do it by an agreement or convention, tho' they have never given promises to each other. Nor is the rule concerning the stability of possession the less derived from human conventions, that it arises gradually, and acquires force by a slow progression..." I don't get the word "the less" in the second sentence. What is "the less" referring to?

I was wondering if anyone could help me find summary and analysis of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature?

Refering to a dictionary, what is the definition of "slip" in this extract? This was a philosophical development that rejected natural law's fusing of what law is and what it ought to be.[14] David Hume famously argued in A Treatise of Human Nature[1][15] that people invariably SLIP between describing that the world is a certain way to saying therefore we ought to conclude on a particular course of action.

I need help with my Introduction to Phillosophy course homework!!! We are to use a passage from the Treatise of Human Nature's Appendix and knowledge about Hume, Des Cartes, and Kant to answer the following question. Here is the link to the passage. http://books.google.com/books?id=5xJLAAA... of human nature&pg=PP1&ots=uaGWoUqid-&sig=sAsulIW... type in PAGE 635. The proff only needs us to read from "Phillosophers begin to be reconciled..." until the pharagraph that begins "I shal also take..." on the next page. The questions are: 1) From what uou know of Hume's theoru of knowledge what is it in the passage he is saying is too difficult for his understanding? What considerations from his theory force him to admit this point? 2) Explain why Descartes would not liekly have run into the problem that Hume runs into? 3) What answer does Kant offer to Hume's problem? Explain in detail. Some one please help me!!! I know the answers but i am so lost as to how to explain them!!

I don't understand the "critique of pure reason" by kant? I am trying to understand his work but it is very difficult for me to do so, even after I look up the words which I do not understand. The philosophy books that I have read so far are: Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes Meditation by Rene Descartes (all the volumes) Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume The republic by Plato Categories by Aristotle Perhaps there is a book that I should have read before I started the critique of pure reason?

Philosophy David Hume? I have to write a 5 page essay on David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature: Book 3, Part 2. Some of the questions we are supposed to address are Hume's definition of a promise, the link between morality and sentiments to Hume? I have an idea for my piece, but quite frankly I find it hard to think like a philosopher and I want a second/third/ or even fourth opinion... NAy help is greatly appreciated! This philosophy class is kicking my butt!!!!

David Humes and Immanel Kant? I have an exam coming up soon on David Humes and Immanuel Kant: The works are: 1.Hume's "A Treatise of Human Nature" 2. Immanuel Kant's "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals" (Only first two chapters) Please direct me to any good studying sites that will hep me stdy for my exam. Thanok you in advance for those who respond.

Help! I don't understand philosophy? Kant is killing me! I don't understand his book "the critique of pure reason" even though I look into the ordinary dictionary AND philosophy dictionary for the words I don't understand. I mean I understand the words but when I put them into a sentence, it doesn't make sense or Kant's new sentence doesn't seem to correspond with his old sentence! Before you answer, I want to let you know the book that I have read before so you know where my knowledge is at and can offer me advice: 1. Ethics by Aristotle 2. Meditation by Rene Descartes 3.

Can anyone decipher this philosophy quote? Huge exam in the morning!? “For as it is by means of thought only that any thing operates upon our passions, and as these are the only ties of our thoughts, they are really to us the cement of the universe, and the operations of the mind must, in a great measure, depend on them.” --Hume: Abstract of A Treatise of Human Nature I need to know the meaning. Thanks! Thanks for the responses guys, but after long thought I think I finally deciphered it...Hume is saying that while experiences and our senses are the only things we can rely on as knowledge, our passions are what keep us stable and the world in running order. So while they hold no value when it comes to knowledge, they are a necessity. John - best answer (just in case I forget to vote!)

What is Locke trying to say in section ten (second chapter) of the second treatise on government? Sec. 10. Besides the crime which consists in violating the law, and varying from the right rule of reason, whereby a man so far becomes degenerate, and declares himself to quit the principles of human nature, and to be a noxious creature, there is commonly injury done to some person or other, and some other man receives damage by his transgression: in which case he who hath received any damage, has, besides the right of punishment common to him with other men, a particular right to seek reparation from him that has done it: and any other person, who finds it just, may also join with him that is injured, and assist him in recovering from the offender so much as may make satisfaction for the harm he has suffered. Im trying to paraphrase this for an assignment and am really confused Please help me. asap Thank you!!!

Are the Framers of the Constitution irrelevant in today's society? "It is fashionable in these days to regard Washington--and America's other Founders, who will be cited periodically throughout this book--as irrelevent, as dead white men, as antiquated, and as morally abhorrent because some of them owned black slaves. This attitude is a mistake for any American to make. The Founders remain vitally relevant to the conduct of American domestic politics and foreign policy, not because they could see the impact of such future developments as transcontinental railroads, the cell phone, ballistic missles, Social Security, and nuclear weapons. They clearly could not, and so have little value to us as soothsayers. The Founders' eternal relevance for Americans is based on their study and knowledge of human beings, of how human beings act and interact, and of the manifest imperfectibility of human beings. When the Founders met in 1787 in Philadelphia to write the American Constitution, as the brilliant professor Daniel Robinson has said, they dew on the totality of the "political life of early America which itself is an extended treatise on the nature of human nature, informed by scripture, informed by Christian apologists, informed by philosophers." The Founders' wisdom must remain in the forefront of American thinking not because they were demigods, but because they were, by their own admission, flawed human beings who used that knowledge about themselves and others to shape a nation capable of an ongoing effort to build an equitable society, preventing the growth of tyrannnical power at home, and savvy enough to survive in a world of competitive nation-states and frequent wars." That is an exerpt from "Marching Towards Hell", by Michael Scheuer (Former Chief of CIA's Osama bin Laden Unit) Do you agree or disagree?

Can you please read and tell me what you think? Its a summary on the second treatise of civil government by john locke The case made by Locke to explain the peculiar derivation of government commences with an essential study of the natural human status. Outlining first the fundamental human privileges guaranteed by the state of nature and limited by the laws of nature he asserts that in an attempt to secure those rights from the biases of other men’s interests people enter into social structures. Such structures he claims are constantly challenged by avarice which stifles the full exercise of freedom. Thus he argues that societies choose guidance from sound governments whose responsibilities are to serve as property’s guard by contesting penchants rooted in the interests of men who often discount justice for their own sake. Furthermore, he explains that people expect government to respond to controversies that arise from man’s weakness through the application of coherent judgment and solutions so that the laws of nature are upheld. Locke summarizes property as life, health, liberty, and possession. He affirms that everyone is born with unalienable freedoms, no one with a greater advantage than his or her counterpart and no one with the license to subjugate others; doing so he says is counterproductive to the exertion of individual rights. Locke recognizes that humanity is regulated by the laws of nature and in order to live according to them one must never infringe on the rights of others except in the occasion that justice must be distributed proportionately in response to vice. Locke identifies that people are influenced by their inherent flaws, two of them being inconsiderate greed and prejudice; these in particular give way to the violation of rights. In order to preserve most of their freedoms people wager some autonomy and place themselves under societies controlled by government power. Locke hypothesizes that if mankind lives with no defined authority, in anarchy, the birthright of property is susceptible to meddling because human nature is egotistical and often takes not into account the rights of others. This is why he says that government is indebted with the obligation of providing people with the security that rights are recognized and shielded. Locke professes that in an ideal world there would be no need for an established government but that realistically mankind is corrupt and vicious, it rejects the human community it is born into. Thus, government is crucial to serve as a standard arbitrator of the law of nature. When man enters into a covenant with society he gives up certain liberties in order to preserve himself. The power to execute the law of nature according to his or her authority is taken away and replaced with standard laws that apply to everyone that makes up a part of said society. Locke honors the ordinances set up by the legislative bodies of governments as complimentary to basic property. The legislative, he says, should be considered the most fundamental natural law. It is supreme, sacred, and unchangeable. He explains that in order for a law to be authentic it must have the stamp of approval of society. They must apply to the affluent as they do to the indigent within that society. He further explains that the prerogative which allows for the establishment of laws can not be assigned to anywhere but where the people desire. Government finds its source of authority in the society that spawned its creation. When it no longer legitimately represents the sentiments of a society, when it does not coin appropriate laws, it is then that people are free to exercise their right and replace that government with one that reacts to their requisites. patchouli thanks sooo much!

how would you re-word this to make it sound like sophomore in highschool wrote it? i wrote a lot of it but my peers said to make it sounds less smart...any suggestions? History The study of social psychology began at the start of the twentieth century. A list of landmark moments would have to include the publication of Charles Horton Cooley's "Human Nature and Social Order" in 1902. Cooley's effort sought to explain the social order by use of the concept of a looking glass self, and to explain the notion of the self as essentially the same as the notion of "society" The first textbooks in social psychology were published six years later by E. A. Ross and William McDougall. The textbooks approached the topic from a sociological standpoint, and the latter from a psychological one. The first major journal in social psychology would be the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. For a period during the early- to mid-twentieth century, social psychology was thought of as an effort involving two or more scientific disciplines, capable of addressing those issues which psychologists and sociologists had in common. However, this drastically changed, as many of those researchers which had attempted to find common ground broke down under the strain of academic pressures. As a result, social psychology was made into two traditions: those allied with psychology and who wanted to explain how the minds of individuals are influenced by social factors, and those allied with sociology who understood human action as being determined by a rich network of human relationships. (House, J. S.1977). The root psyche is very close to "soul" in Greek, and ology is close to "study". Psychology came to be considered a study of the soul (in a religious sense) much later, in Christian times. Psychology as a medical discipline can be seen in Thomas Willis' reference to psychology (the "Doctrine of the Soul") in terms of brain function, as part of his 1672 anatomical treatise "De Anima Brutorum" ("Two Discourses on the Souls of Brutes"). Until about the end of the 19th century, psychology was regarded as a branch of philosophy. During the years immediately following World War II, there was frequent collaboration between psychologists and sociologists (Sewell, 1989). However, the two disciplines have become increasingly specialized and isolated from each other in recent years, with sociologists focusing on "macro variables" (e.g. social structure) to a much greater extent. Nevertheless, sociological approaches to social psychology remain an important counterpart to psychological research in this area. Social psychology reached maturity in both theory and method during the 1980s and 1990s. Careful ethical standards now make research regular. Modern researchers are interested in a variety of phenomena, but attribution, social cognition, and the self-concept are perhaps the greatest areas of growth in recent years. Social psychologists have also maintained their applied interests, with contributions in health and environmental psychology, as well as the psychology of the legal system.

it's not m.t. escher quality but rate my lyrics anyway? i was getting a D for Social Studies.

What are the three temptation's that endangered Augustine's soul in the autobiography, “Confessions?"? The significance of Saint Augustine's Confessions is immeasurable in reference to Christianity. Augustine of Hippo was a very important and profound influence as Latin Church Father. He converted to the religion of Christianity later in life at the age of thirty-three and proceeded to write and philosophize on human nature in regards to the soul, the flesh, and the meaning and influences of temptation into evil. Prior to converting to his new found faith he enjoyed many pleasure of the flesh, such as sex, gambling, and producing children out of wedlock. He would continue to struggle with temptation and his faith in and love of God for his lifetime. During his lifetime and he composed many treatises, the autobiography called “Confessions”, as well as “City of God.” He used and believed in a dualistic model of neoplatonist.

DID U know that,read it fully? But even amongst those Indian philosophers who accepted the separation of mind and body and argued for the existence of the soul, there was considerable dedication to the scientific method and to developing the principles of deductive and inductive logic. From 1000 B.C to the 4th C A.D (also described as India's rationalistic period) treatises in astronomy, mathematics, logic, medicine and linguistics were produced. The philosophers of the Sankhya school, the Nyaya-Vaisesika schools and early Jain and Buddhist scholars made substantial contributions to the growth of science and learning. Advances in the applied sciences like metallurgy, textile production and dyeing were also made. In particular, the rational period produced some of the most fascinating series of debates on what constitutes the "scientific method": How does one separate our sensory perceptions from dreams and hallucinations? When does an observation of reality become accepted as fact, and as scientific truth? How should the principles of inductive and deductive logic be developed and applied? How does one evaluate a hypothesis for it's scientific merit? What is a valid inference? What constitutes a scientific proof? These and other questions were attacked with an unexpected intellectual vigour. As keen observers of nature and the human body, India's early scientist/philosophers studied human sensory organs, analyzed dreams, memory and consciousness. The best of them understood dialectics in nature - they understood change, both in quantitative and qualitative terms - they even posited a proto-type of the modern atomic theory. It was this rational foundation that led to the flowering of Indian civilization. This is borne out by the testaments of important Greek scientists and philosophers of that period. Pythagoras - the Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th C B.C was familiar with the Upanishads and learnt his basic geometry from the Sulva Sutras. (The famous Pythagoras theorem is actually a restatement of a result already known and recorded by earlier Indian mathematicians). Later, Herodotus (father of Greek history) was to write that the Indians were the greatest nation of the age. Megasthenes - who travelled extensively through India in the 4th C. B.C also left extensive accounts that paint India in highly favorable light (for that period). Intellectual contacts between ancient Greece and India were not insignificant. Scientific exchanges between Greece and India were mutually beneficial and helped in the development of the sciences in both nations. By the 6th C. A.D, with the help of ancient Greek and Indian texts, and through their own ingenuity, Indian astronomers made significant discoveries about planetary motion. An Indian astronomer - Aryabhata, was to become the first to describe the earth as a sphere that rotated on it's own axis. He further postulated that it was the earth that rotated around the sun and correctly described how solar and lunar eclipses occurred. Because astronomy required extremely complicated mathematical equations, ancient Indians also made significant advances in mathematics. Differential equations - the basis of modern calculus were in all likelihood an Indian invention (something essential in modeling planetary motions). Indian mathematicians were also the first to invent the concept of abstract infinite numbers - numbers that can only be represented through abstract mathematical formulations such as infinite series - geometric or arithmetic. They also seemed to be familiar with polynomial equations (again essential in advanced astronomy) and were the inventors of the modern numeral system (referred to as the Arabic numeral system in Europe). The use of the decimal system and the concept of zero was essential in facilitating large astronomical calculation and allowed such 7th C mathematicians as Brahmagupta to estimate the earth's circumferance at about 23,000 miles - (not too far off from the current calculation). It also enabled Indian astronomers to provide fairly accurate longitudes of important places in India. The science of Ayurveda - (the ancient Indian system of healing) blossomed in this period. Medical practitioners took up the dissection of corpses, practised surgery, developed popular nutritional guides, and wrote out codes for medical procedures and patient care and diagnosis. Chemical processes associated with the dying of textiles and extraction of metals were studied and documented. The use of mordants (in dyeing) and catalysts (in metal-extraction/purification) was discovered.

Angels are bright still, thou the brightest fell; thou all things foul would wear the brows of grace, yet grace must still look so. – Malcolm. 16. Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart, and bids it break. – Malcolm. 17. Those he commands move only in command, nothing in love: now does he feel his title hand loose about him, like a giant’s robe upon a dwarfish thief. – Angus. 18. I have almost forgot the taste of fears; the time has been, my senses would have cool’d to hear a night shriek; and my fell of hair would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir as life were in’t: I have supp’d full with horrors; direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts cannot once start me. – Macbeth. 19. Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. – Macbeth.
