answers1: I smell fascism
answers2: Law? I feel that is rather important to the function of the state.
answers3: An interesting opinion which makes sense given that the US
is behind way too many other countries when it comes to math and
science. <br>
<br>
However I think it would be better served for public elementary to
high school. Regardless of it being a public college, the college
student still pays and should have the choice to take humanities or
arts classes if they so choose. <br>
<br>
Then again art, music, sports and other arts and humanities classes
can keep kids involved with activitys and off the streets... keep them
out of trouble. <br>
<br>
I would have to vote against such measures.
answers4: No. I plan on getting a music degree. We need an
entertainment industry and entertainers too, don't we?
answers5: Your thesis is inherently wrong; arts and humanities are
absolutely essential for the vitality of a state. <br>
<br>
They create a seamless connection between motivation, instruction,
assessment, and practical application. <br>
<br>
They are an opportunity to experience processes from beginning to end. <br>
<br>
They develop both independence and collaboration. <br>
<br>
They merge the learning of process and content. <br>
<br>
They exercise and develop higher order thinking skills including
analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and "problem-finding." <br>
<br>
All these are have inherent value in any kind of endeavor, including
business, economics, science and medicine.
answers6: I love Jazz answer above...only a freedom fearing con...not so. <br>
I think that it is a good suggestion and I think that maybe some cons
would agree because we are the ones who pay those taxes, but a "jazzy"
lib would never make that connection.
answers7: Cool thing about the US is that we have a lot of freedoms to
choose these things for ourselves. The place where the value of an
education is properly determined is in the workforce and a college
education is buyer beware. Like other capitalistic enterprises. That
state funding is involved is simply a public policy matter for states.
answers8: Without creative vision, there's nothing to manage and no
levers to pull.
answers9: Arts and humanities are the most important. They are the innovators.
answers10: These majors are important. Thinking is important. its not
only about business, but about producing individuals with the ability
bring forward new ideas.

I have a big paper to write and i can choose any topic in the humanities or english field?
answers1: well you could write about history such as the slave trade,
you could tell a story where you may be a slave and telling the
horrific conditions, thats part humanities and english.
answers2: Everyone says, "write about something that interests you" or
"write about what you know." <br>
<br>
I don't. <br>
<br>
If you knew what interested you, I don't think you'd be here asking
for help, and it doesn't sound like you're confident that "what you
know" will be interesting to your teacher. <br>
<br>
Time for a new approach! <br>
<br>
Rather than writing about something that's interesting to you, I
suggest you pick something at random and research why its interesting
*to others.* This is a tad like being a lawyer, who may or may not
actually care about the topic, but can convincingly and passionately
argue about it. <br>
<br>
In general, you have two possibilities: <br>
<br>
1. Write about the underlying controversy of the apparently mundane.
For example, a number of literary critics think that video games are
destroying literacy in America. What if it's the opposite? Perhaps
this generation is developing a visual literacy instead of a print
literacy, etc. Another example is in analyzing the roots of something
like dating, the 40-hour workweek, the development of minimum wage,
etc. Each of these are part of everyday life and are generally
accepted without question, but who decided that 8 hours / day was an
ideal schedule? How do they determine the fair "bare minimum" wage for
day labor? <br>
<br>
2. Pick something that you've seen in class and take a new approach to
it. If you've read the Great Gatsby this semester, apply a critical
lens to it. For example, what might a Marxist say about Gatsby's quest
to reinvent himself by using (and exploiting) loopholes in capitalism?
What might a feminist say about Daisy's clinging to Tom? Are Nick's
actions particularly heroic? Is Meyer Wolfsheim a trickster-figure,
etc. Sources can add a LOT to a literary text. I once read an article
by Donald Palumbo where he used Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a
Thousand Faces" to analyze Terminator 2, and it was COOL. <br>
<br>
One more idea: people in the Humanities are about the uplifting of the
human spirit and the elveation of mankind's efforts, which means that
no topic is really out of reach. Think about something really off the
beaten path and ask if it's making our world a better place. For
example, the national HALO championship team (I know, but there
actually is a tournament) recently appeared on ESPN. During the
interview, they *demanded* to be called "athletes" and insisted that
the interviewer refer to them this way, (i.e. "how does it feel to be
an athlete of this caliber?"). Is this kind of thing uplifting to the
human condition? Does the amount of screentime that an American
teenager and HALO champion demand equate to the athletic
accomplishment of the best football (sorry, "Soccer") players
globally, many of whom are from countries we consider to be in the
"third world"? Is it audacious to demand recognition for a mediocre
accomplishment in comparison to the lack of coverage afforded to a
major one? <br>
<br>
Best of luck, <br>
<br>

answers3: Anything that really interested you in class that you wanted
to learn more about. Maybe about some literature that you read or a
favorite period that you would like to research.

What does Humanities & Interdisciplinary mean?
answers1: I have no idea about this
answers2: All these depend on the course you are taking since even
within the humanities these terms are debated and are major specific.
In broad strokes I would say that interdisciplinary connections are
those threads that are common among more than one discipline, eg. the
importance of statistical analysis. cultural cross currents could be
anything really, depending on the course of thought. It could be the
transference of culture from one place to another, the transfer of
news even... as for transhitorical connections, I would deem it
something to do with how events or ideas relate through periods of
time. Good luck, but next time specify the course...It would help
alot! P.S. Have you tried a google search of these terms, or the
wikepedia?
answers3: thanks everyone for all the answers
answers4: Social Studies and English
answers5: Originally, "humanities" meant fields of study that dealt
with human beings as opposed to theological studies. Nowadays it is
usually understood to include the arts and social sciences. <br>
<br>
"Interdisciplinary" means methods of research and study that span two
or more academic "disciplines" or subjects. For example the history of
science could be thought of as an interdisciplinary field because it
requires knowledge and investigation of both history and science.

Martial arts: what art teaches best distance/range skills?
answers1: maybe taekwondo
answers2: The Filipino martial art Kali/Escrima/Arnis (the art used by
Matt Damon in Bourne series) covers all ranges.
answers3: Kenpo focuses a lot on positioning and distance while you
fight. Muay thai is a great style for the most effective striking at
very close range and far back.

Is Internet trolling an art?
answers1: Can evil be an art? Only to the wicked.
answers2: Yes.It takes many years of experience.The same with
spamming.Repetitive activities.The computer has no memory. <br>
Trolling is an art but not a noble one.
answers3: It depends on how clever the troll is.

<br>

hard style: Sanda or Muay Thai...I like sanda better <br>
soft: Tajji (Tai Chi) <br>
muscular people: Muay Thai, Boxing, Sanda, Jiu Jitsu, Judo <br>
Very lean: Wushu, Sanda, Muay Thai pretty much anything except
wrestling or jiu jitsu...you can stil do it but its not as easy
because generally leaner people don't have as much natural strength
<br>
Less Flexable: Jiu Jitsu, Kendo, Judo <br>
Gymnastic Ablilities: WUSHU!!!!!!!!!!!! <br>
Strong weapons: Wushu has weapon forms...., Kendo, Ninjitsu, Karate i
guess but i don't reccomend it <br>

Please define art terms?
answers1: o
answers2: System, the system used to paint the image, like was once it
brushed on with oil, smushed along with clay and so on. Composition,
all of the factors within the photograph and the way they were
arranged to please the attention or create a feeling. Characteristics,
Norman Rockwell is an effective example of traits as his art appeared
to have precise ultimate characteristics he used to tell a story in
his art. Rembrant used a form of lighting to create his traits and so
on.
answers3: 1. Ceremonial Art = Art used in traditional ceremonies. <br>
<br>
2. Value = How much depth something has. <br>
<br>
3. Representational Art = Art that represents something, wether
directly or indirectly. Like a dove represents peace and a lion
represents valor or honor. <br>
<br>
4. Line = Something in the piece of artwork that leads you around the
painting, like imaginary lines. For example: The leading lines of the
leaves pointing left direct my eyes toward the left side of the
painting. <br>
<br>
5. Shape = The shape of something. For example: organic or geometric. <br>
<br>
6. Narrative Art = Art that tells a story or describes a scene. <br>
<br>
7. Abstract = Art that does not attempt to portray realistic images or
things. Usually something distorted or heavily exaggerated. <br>
<br>
8. Color = The color[s] of the piece. Do the colors work well? What
hues have you used? Warm or cool? Are they complimentary or analogous?
<br>
<br>
9. Functional Art = Art that functions. A piece of art that can be
used for instance, a chair or a tea pot. <br>
<br>
10. Movement = The way the piece moves. For example: A fish splashing
out of the water. You would not just draw a straight fish and flat
water, the water would be moving and the fish would be curved and the
fins spreading away from it's body. <br>
<br>
11. Contrast = Usually found with colors. This is when a certain color
or thing makes another color or thing pop out and attract your eye.
Like if you had a black speck on a white paper or a red strawberry on
a blue plate. <br>
<br>
12. Texture = The feel appearance, or consistency of something. <br>
<br>
13. Rhythm = Something in a piece of art that is like a pattern, it
repeats itself. <br>
<br>
14. Expressive Art = Art that may only have meaning for the creator.
The goal of the art is there isn't any. The creator is simply
expressing their emotions or thoughts through their art. <br>
<br>
15. Nonobjective = Sort of like abstract art, not representing
anything in the natural world. <br>
<br>
16. Form = Similar to shape. The form of the piece of art or configuration. <br>
<br>
17. Emphasis = Emphasis is used when you want something to be the
"center of attention." You want that certain thing to be noticed and
looked at the most. It will pop out at you. <br>
<br>
18. Pattern = Similar to rhythm. Something that repeats consistently. <br>
<br>
19. Space = The way you use the space you have with a piece of
artwork. It can be negative (the space you do not use) or positive
(the space you use). For example you draw a flower pot but it is in a
random place on your paper, it looks odd and your piece doesn't come
together well. If you were to move it to the center the negative space
around the flower pot would be equal all around a balance out with the
picture in the middle. <br>
<br>
20. Unity = When your piece of art comes together nicely. Creating or
executing a perfect composition. Using a bunch or even one of the art
terms effectively. <br>
<br>
I hope this helped!

17. Emphasis = Emphasis is used when you want something to be the
"center of attention." You want that certain thing to be noticed and
looked at the most. It will pop out at you. <br>
<br>
18. Pattern = Similar to rhythm. Something that repeats consistently. <br>
<br>
19. Space = The way you use the space you have with a piece of
artwork. It can be negative (the space you do not use) or positive
(the space you use). For example you draw a flower pot but it is in a
random place on your paper, it looks odd and your piece doesn't come
together well. If you were to move it to the center the negative space
around the flower pot would be equal all around a balance out with the
picture in the middle. <br>
<br>
20. Unity = When your piece of art comes together nicely. Creating or
executing a perfect composition. Using a bunch or even one of the art
terms effectively. <br>
<br>
I hope this helped!

What is pop art (defintion) ?
answers1: Pop Art <br>
n. <br>
A form of art that depicts objects or scenes from everyday life and
employs techniques of commercial art and popular illustration. <br>
<br>
<br>
Sponsored LinksCustom Pop Art from Photo <br>
Created in Warhol, Lichtenstein or 33+ other styles! 4-panel from $65. <br>
www.myDaVinci.com <br>
<br>
Warhol Walls <br>
Art prints by Andy Warhol. Posters, Digital prints Framed/Un-framed <br>
WarholWalls.com
answers2: Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid
1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. <br>
Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the
mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with
the perspective of fine art. Pop removes the material from its context
and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for
contemplation. <br>
The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the
attitudes that led to it.

Does film count as a visual arts class as a high school requisite?
answers1: i think of a individual with autism ought to be greater
suitable suitable to respond to this question than a instructor would.
First, sorry, yet the place in the heck are you coaching college?
that's nonsense to me that in case you have a severe functioning AS
pupil that until they have quite extensive changes; in a thank you to
such that they are able to't be left with out a sturdy point of help,
then they ought to be getting a popular severe college degree. I
purely graduated severe college in Colorado with a popular degree and
am a very severe functioning pupil. In my section the only little ones
that get carry of a certificates crowning glory fairly of a level are
extensive desires scholars. enable me define purely what extensive
desires scholars are. those are little ones who're purely mentally
retarded. maximum of those little ones have in no way talked and in no
way will because of fact they have greater suitable than purely
autism. those are the infants that have Cystic Fibrosis, Down
Syndrome, and so on. they are in a condition so terminal that they
have adults continuously surronding them, pushing them in wheelchairs,
feeding them at lunchtime, and so on. I even have accomodations and
changes purely like each and every pupil beginning from extensive
desires, to average desires (my section), or person-friendly desires
(little ones who've social problems, upload, ADHD, and so on.) i
became into in mainstream instructions for over sixty 5% of my days.
in assessment to different little ones i don't have changes that
permit me to easily drop a type and circulate into the source point. I
certainly ought to teach that there is an substantial project. i don't
have a paraprofessional that follows me to type and writes down my
assigments for me. I take my very own notes, do the assignments, and
so on. it quite is the way it is going to paintings in maximum
aspects. Sorry yet you're coaching in a foul section that needless to
say does not understand disabled scholars ok. tell the lecturers to
income little ones greater suitable.
answers2: i am pretty sure it does......why dont you take Art class,
drawing/painting........i am not sure sometime they might fall under
visual arts or sometimes they will just count as your elective
classes.. <br>
well good luck getting into UC Berkeley

can anyone list some good private schools for visual arts?
answers1: For best schools go to the following link <a
href="http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com/schools/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com/schools...</a>
answers2: Interlochen is probably the most famous of those. It's in
Michigan: <br>
<a href="http://www.interlochen.org/academy/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.interlochen.org/academy/</a> <br>
<br>
Walnut Hill School is very, very good. That's in Mass: <br>
<a href="http://www.walnuthillarts.org/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.walnuthillarts.org/</a> <br>
<br>
Idyllwild Arts Academy is in California: <br>
<a href="http://www.idyllwildarts.org/"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.idyllwildarts.org/</a> <br>
<br>
Those are the three that tend to be mentioned. <br>
<br>
The Groton School also has an extensive program in the fine arts, from
what I've been told. They are in Mass: <br>
http://www.groton.org/home/content.asp?id=5 <br>
<br>
I'd imagine that others like Northfield Mount Herman, the Deerfield
School, Phillips Andover, Exeter, Concord Academy - each may have a
lot to offer, although their focus is more academic than arts.

Do you think this is a good ACT score?
answers1: 21 is the average ACT score, with a standard deviation of 6.
That means most students who take the test get someone between 15 and
27. A 23 means you did slightly better than average, but well withing
the standard deviation. A GOOD score would be considered above 27.
<br>
<br>
With that being said, most colleges and universities use 21 as the
readiness guideline in determining enrollment. Anyone who scores a 21
or higher is deemed to be ready to enter college. So while a 23 isn't
a "good" score, it is good enough.
answers2: your score is slight above average ACT score which is 20.the
following link will provide better detail on ACT score. <br>

themes with worldwide warming. you're taking photos your own reason
interior the foot. No Republicans are against sound, clever pollutants
administration rules. all of us comprehend that pollutants is
undesirable. For that remember, maximum Republicans comprehend that

when was the theatre of dionysus built?
answers1: Well I believe there was an original theatre built in 500BC
there but the stone amphitheatre wasn't constructed for Dionysus until
Greeks built it in 325BC <br>

Do they still use movie projectors at theatres?
answers1: yes <br>
i believe most theaters still use those <br>
some theaters have one or two digital screens <br>
i saw rush hour 3 in digital (unexpectedly) and it was SO clear <br>
soon, everything will be digital <br>
i think 3-d versions of journey to the center of the earth were digital <br>
correct me if i'm wrong
answers2: i dont know <br>
<br>
but here's something funny <br>
<br>
about a year ago they released 2 of the Original Star Trek tv show
episodes in a joint movie. <br>
<br>
it was shown on a computer. it even ended with the desktop showing.
answers3: They do still use them. it depends on the theater you go to
now though.
answers4: Some do & some dont. <br>
All the higher class theaters are trying to switch to Digital
Projection (basically using dvds). It'll be a while before everywhere
is changed, but most theaters have at least one room that is Digital
Projection.
answers5: I used to work the projection booth at a 30 screen theater..
and I would say that 95% of theaters still use standard film running
through a standard projector. There are theaters, mostly new ones,
that use new digital projectors. The films are on a "hard drive"
rather than standard film. The projectors are expensive, about $1/4
million.

Pirates leaving theaters?
answers1: I know for fact that dead mans chest, the second pirates
movie. Showed almost until the DVD of it was released. So it will be
a while longer. DVDs usually come out about 6 months after the
theatrical release, so it will be in theaters about that long as well.

in a lot of money like this week it brought in 4.3 million dollars so

Questions about the theater?
answers1: Epic is a form of theatre that teaches. It is an
anti-emotion based theatre. It is obviously theatre, it does not
pretend to be real. It is called Epic because it's productions deal
with world wide ideas, not just local ones. <br>
<br>
Theatre of Cruelty is a anti-status quo theatre with the purpose of
slapping the squares in the face with the harsh realities of life. It
is grim, and shocking, and borders on the insane as it makes playgoing
an ordeal. It is a rebellion against traditional ways of doing and
rating theatre. It is purposely cruel to the audience making it sit
through an agonizing experience. <br>
<br>
Thatre of the Absurd is based on the idea that man is an absurd
(irrational) creature in a perfect world. As such he behaves
irrationally, and cannot make decisisons or do anything useful He
refuses to do anything to save himself even when he knows he is in
danger.(applicable to the Katrina victims?) It's productions tend to
deal with obviously theatrical techniques and ususally do not pretend
to be reality <br>
It's basic premise is that communication is impossible. It also is a
form of anti-theatre, seeking a new aesthetic, and rejecting the
theatrical norms. <br>
<br>
All of these movements are failures because they ignored the fact that
the audience wants to be entertained in the theatre, and the theatre
cannot survive without an audience. Epic is boring, like a lecture
instead of a play, Cruelty is uncomfortable and disgusting. And
Absurd is hypocritical trying to communicate that communication is
imporssible. There are always brief movements of anti establishment
theatre with try to say there are new values to consider, but the
traditional values of theatre always prevail and the rebellion is
short lived. Theatre of the Absurd was the most like the status quo
theatre and produced some popular successes.

Putting the golden ratio into poetry?
answers1: i'm an excellent poet. And issues come to me at the same
time as i'm comfortable smooth and most of the time at the same time
as i'm not wondering about writing poetry at the same time as there's
a cheerful time a sad time an demanding time. So once you're
discussing or coping with even if on your life is going on, you
basically form of get the words. you do not in simple terms sit down
and say 'Poetry come to me' you need to be contained in the attitude
of emotion. that is at the same time as your in simple terms suitable
artwork comes by skill of on your mind.
answers2: I have thunk on this. The base ratios that govern lots of
functions all revolve around a strange similarity to, or relationship
with, pi. The Golden Ratio, the Rule of 78s, Root Mean Squared...they
all have a 1/3-2/3 thing going on. I can generalize, because I am a
simpleton. In art, generality makes for broader universal appeal,
which is a good thing. Not very helpful in accounting or rocket
telemetry. TD
answers3: I am not quite sure what you are asking, but.... <br>
<br>
"The Golden Mean has been recognized as the "Divine Proportion" and
has been used as the blueprint for great works of art and classical
architecture. There is even speculation that great music composers
such as Mozart have used the properties of the Golden Mean in the
creation of some of their music. In fact, the Golden Ratio is so
plentiful in nature that we unknowingly see examples of it around us
everyday but before one can understand what the Golden Mean is, it is
necessary to understand mathematical concepts such as the Fibonacci
Sequence, Phi, and their relationship to our perception of beauty.....
<br>
<br>
.......The Golden Ratio has also appeared in poetry in much the same
way that it appears in music. The emphasis has been placed on time
intervals. Some have even stated that the meaning of chosen words is
less important than its rhythmic quality and the intervals between
words and lines that serve to create the overall rhythm of a poem. "

depts/math/keller/golden.htm <br>
<br>
I would say that to tie in the golden ratio to poetry one must have a
specific repeated pattern or rhythm. One specifically interesting one
that seems to fit here is the first line being 1/3 longer than line 2
and line 2 would be 1/3 longer than line 3 and repeat. For example, if
the first line were 9 syllables or words long, then line 2 would be 6
syllables or words long and line 3 would be 3 syllables or words long.
Might also work with 5, 3, 1 words or syllables per line respectively.
The importance of repetition being the key. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps answer the question. Interesting question though and
it made me think. :-D I might even attempt to write a poem on the
subject. :-)

How often does philosophy come around again... full circle?
answers1: You mean, "What goes around, comes around", lol ...I just
know that there is some good Philosophy and some bad stuff out there.
The bible helps you know which is which. :)
answers2: How often does philosophy come around again... full circle? <br>
Is all philosophy eventually recycled and is that somehow scary for
those who claim to know what philosophy is? <br>
<br>
~~~ You obviously don't. <br>
Here's a hint, if you actually care; <br>
<br>
Philosophy is 'original critical thought'; <br>

other people's philosophy but cannot do philosophy themselves. He also
says that most people who consider themselves philosophers are
actually philosophologists. The difference between a philosopher and a
philosophologist is like the difference between an art and aesthetics;
one does and the other studies what the other does and theorizes about
it."
answers3: i'd say that people are the same no matter how aged or how
wise. I idea of phisosophy is as same as pretending to be enlighted
and accepting the current state of life without doing anything about
it, so obviously any "wise" person will tackle the subject of society
and feed us the same bullocks about peace and love. it's complicated
stuff, the truth but who are we to be philosophical? <br>

answers5: Its always been around, although some people have great
eloquence and try to justify their crap and people buy into it, on the
other hand though there have been many great philosophers.
answers6: Some 2,500 years ago Heraclitus developed the notion of
"flux," and in the past 200 years or so that idea has been regifted to
mankind as "process." <br>
<br>
You might appreciate Ben-Ami Scharfstein's "The Philosophers: Their
Lives and the Nature of Their Thought," "Nihilism" by Eugene Rose, and
"A Philosophy of Universality" by Omraam Aivanhov.
answers7: No.
answers8: I think philosophy is an exploration of our intellectual and
emotional landscape - different people have gone off into the woods to
greater or lesser distances and come back to report what they found.
I think we are gradually assembling a map of the place. Some ideas
seem to want to apply to more than their particular application, imo,
but in general I think all new philosophical discoveries or
explorations bring more data to the table. I don't think
philosophical ideas go in and out of fashion, rather, once they are
proposed they remain in our thinking and in the literature, all
gradually accumulating into some comprehensive whole, kind of like our
understanding of physics.
answers9: How your thinking is wrong. My life of philosophy was a
wonderful life & I still enjoy it until I pass. Nothing recycled
or full circle in living a life of any type of philosophy. Mike

is christianity a philosophy or a religion?
answers1: Christianity is often viewed as one of the world's major
religions, but Christianity also offers a philosophy of life that has
greatly influenced Western society for nearly two thousand years.
Thus, to ignore Christianity in the study of philosophy is a great
mistake.
answers2: Christianity is a Religion. Most religions are based on
some kind of philosophy about the nature of existence, the nature of
divinity, and the relationship between creation and divinity.
answers3: Ask Bill O'Reilly. <br>

rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://www.theblaze.com/stories/bill-ore...</a>
answers4: christianity is a "philosophy", but in its most literal
definition, "the love of wisdom". Jesus is the incarnation of the
logos, the true wisdom of God. the church is the bride of christ, the
lover of the logos, the wisdom.
answers5: Religion.
answers6: Bill O'Riley can blow what he normally says out his mouth
through his ***. It's a religion.
answers7: Good question. <br>
Both, I think. <br>
A religion because it involves prayers, ceremony and worship. <br>
A philosophy, because it's originator was teaching a way of life. <br>
<br>
SUDHAKAR - very well said, sir.
answers8: It really comes down to the individual, but it should be
more spiritual than either two .
answers9: It certainly is not a philosophy. Philosophy means the love
of wisdom; Christianity is little on love and less on wisdom.
answers10: All religions are philosophies.

Philosophy & Religion question?
answers1: St. Augustine. He is embraced by Catholics and Protestants
alike, and still read after 1600 years.
answers2: Plato & Aristotle, hell some of the writers of the bible
where greek and where platonic or aristotlian philosophers, it is
impossible to truely understand the bible without understanding these
individuals (note that plato had slightly more influence then
Aristotle) <br>
Also much later Kierkegaard did a lot of work on Christian ethics and
the notion of faith.
answers3: those with generalized thought.
answers4: You mean both Advanced & Western religion philosophies at
the same time?
answers5: Descartes. Cartesian philosophy assisted many great
philosophers that came after him, including, Spinoza, Neitzsche,
Schopenhauer, Kant and Liebniz. Cartesian philosophy also influenced
Freud and Jung who I also think have been strong influences on Western
ideology.
answers6: Western religious thought is highly influenced by The Bible,
The Qu'ran, and The Torah. In eastern thought, religious thought is
highly influenced by Chuang-tzu, The Buddha, Sankara, and others, and
in that sense, the most influential philosophers were those who wrote
the standard texts of the seven major world religions. Those texts
would give way to arguments concerning Gods existence, evil,
monotheism, and other doctrines that would pervade philosophy. In
other words, The Torah and Talmud because they came before other
monotheistic religious texts, though Zoroastrianism was the first
monotheistic religion.

introduction to philosophy books ..?
answers1: One of the better middle of the road, balanced introductions
to philosophy is Tom Morris' "Philosophy for Dummies" book. He taught
the subject at Notre Dame, has earned a Ph.D., and his book presents
the whole of Western (European, American) philosophy in several
positive ways: by topic, with some original readings (important to
sync with the thought/mind processes of the particular writer),
suggestions for further reading, and with a good index featuring main
ideas and terminology. <br>
<br>
Also of some interest, as it examines philosophy from a different
perspective: A Philosophy of Universality, Omraam Aivanhov, also for
the beginning student of the subject. <br>
<br>
And, Nihilism, Eugene Rose, for its brief (110 pages) and insightful
survey of modern Western trends in philosophy.
answers2: " Plato's Republic " is a really good read to study
philosophy in it's actual use.
answers3: Nigel Warburton has released some books as an introduction
to philosophy, "Philosophy: the basics" is an extraordinarily reliable
one. It introduces all the major matters round major philosophical
discussions and it exhibits extra studying in each and each and every
area.
answers4: Start with Bertrand Russel's "History of Western Philosophy" <br>
<br>

Good literature about philosophy?
answers1: This is a choice question -- my congratulations. I
understand your meaning; but I think what makes great literature great
is that it maintains a philosophical outlook. The difference between
literature (True Literature) as opposed to mere melodrama is that the
latter simply tells a story, while the former has a point to make. It
gives thematic unity to the story, characters and events which
transcend the mere plot, and forces us to recognize that these people
and things have a greater importance, and thus, are symbolic
representations of fundamental human strivings. Consider the novels of
Dostoevsky, the plays of Shakespeare, the works of Camus, etc. These
are all people who went beyond story-telling to give us a glimpse of
the human condition. They were, to coin a phrase, "Literary
Philosophers;" and that is precisely why their works have endured. The
fundamentals of the human condition do not change -- and thus, those
who give us a philosophical understanding of human motives and
motivations are guaranteed immortality. Hope this helps. Cheers.

answers5: If I was a Prof. of Phil., I would start my students with
the Syntopicon, because it takes the "topics" about which philosophers
wrote, and divides its short chapters that way. You don't get confused
about who said what, because who said what ABOUT what is all in one
short chapter. <br>
<br>
If you tell your teacher/prof you've read the Syntopicon, you'll blow
his/her socks off. It is the best selling anthology of philosophy ever
written, because it breaks the subject into "topics". Hence, the
Syntopicon. <br>
<br>
It's so much easier to see what all the great thinkers said about a
topic, then move on to the next, as opposed to trying to read
comparisons of philsophies or philosophers. <br>
<br>
But you will only find it in the library, because it's part of a huge
collection of books called The Great Ideas of the Western World. The
Syntopicon is volumes II and III. <br>
<br>
Each chapter is only about 12 pages long, so you are not bogged down
by too much information. But you will certainly be way ahead of other
students who won't even know what the topics are. <br>
<br>
Angel; Animal; Aristocracy; Art; Astronomy; Beauty; Being; Cause;
Chance; Change; Citizen; Constitution; Courage; Custom and Convention;
Definition; Democracy; Desire; Dialectic; Duty; Education; Element;
Emotion; Eternity; Evolution; Experience; Family; Fate; Form; God;
Good and Evil; Government; Habit; Happiness; History; Honor;
Hypothesis; Idea; Immortality; Induction; Infinity; Judgment; Justice;
Knowledge; Labor; Language; Law; Liberty; Life and Death; Logic; Love;
Man; Mathematics; Matter; Mechanics; Medicine; Memory and Imagination;
Metaphysics; Mind; Monarchy; Nature; Necessity and Contingency;
Oligarchy; One and Many; Opinion; Opposition; Philosophy; Physics;
Pleasure and Pain; Poetry; Principle; Progress; Prophecy; Prudence;
Punishment; Quality; Quantity; Reasoning; Relation; Religion;
Revolution; Rhetoric; Same and Other; Science; Sense; Sign and Symbol;
Sin; Slavery; Soul; Space; State; Temperance; Theology; Time; Truth;
Tyranny; Universal and Particular; Virtue and Vice; War and Peace;
Wealth; Will; Wisdom; World <br>
<br>
"While the Syntopicon demonstrates the possibility and profit of
intellectual collaboration in the sphere of the liberal arts, the
humanities, and philosophy, it also demonstrates concretely and
vividly the reality of the great conversation [which is Philosophy]...
<br>
<br>
"The Syntopicon answers questions simply and plainly by actually
recording the great conversation in all its concrete details. As the
name suggests, the Syntopicon is a collection of topics. These are the
themes or topics of the great conversation about the basic problems
and issues that have always confronted mankind." Wikipedia
answers6: Sophie's world was a great gather of all the currents from
antiquity to modern day philosophy, and each current were described

wrote, and divides its short chapters that way. You don't get confused
about who said what, because who said what ABOUT what is all in one
short chapter. <br>
<br>
If you tell your teacher/prof you've read the Syntopicon, you'll blow
his/her socks off. It is the best selling anthology of philosophy ever
written, because it breaks the subject into "topics". Hence, the
Syntopicon. <br>
<br>
It's so much easier to see what all the great thinkers said about a
topic, then move on to the next, as opposed to trying to read
comparisons of philsophies or philosophers. <br>
<br>
But you will only find it in the library, because it's part of a huge
collection of books called The Great Ideas of the Western World. The
Syntopicon is volumes II and III. <br>
<br>
Each chapter is only about 12 pages long, so you are not bogged down
by too much information. But you will certainly be way ahead of other
students who won't even know what the topics are. <br>

"While the Syntopicon demonstrates the possibility and profit of
intellectual collaboration in the sphere of the liberal arts, the
humanities, and philosophy, it also demonstrates concretely and
vividly the reality of the great conversation [which is Philosophy]...
<br>
<br>
"The Syntopicon answers questions simply and plainly by actually
recording the great conversation in all its concrete details. As the
name suggests, the Syntopicon is a collection of topics. These are the
themes or topics of the great conversation about the basic problems
and issues that have always confronted mankind." Wikipedia
answers6: Sophie's world was a great gather of all the currents from
antiquity to modern day philosophy, and each current were described
and given a few authors that influenced it. <br>
<br>
how about you pick a current that you found interesting and get books
from the suggested authors ? that was the plan of the book.
