How And Why Does 'Culture' Use 'Nature' To Represent Itself To Itself?
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Culture and nature are inextricably intertwined, which provides the reason behind the way in which culture uses nature to represent itself to itself. Mankind has developed a bad habit over recent years in separating himself from the world around him, namely nature and the environment. This individualist and selfish approach to one's existence is both myopic and faulty, speaking volumes about contemporary humanity's inability to appreciate the intrinsic relationship every entity – living or otherwise – has with all other life. Ancient cultures fully understood and accepted this truth and duly worshipped those spiritual entities that resided within such living and inanimate objects as animals, trees, streams, and every other aspect of nature. Even though many populations still look upon the relationship between culture and nature as a synergistic force in their existence, mankind of today does not truly realize the intimate association these two entities have with each other. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

How Does A Particular Intentional Mental State, Such As A Belief Or A Desire, Come To Have Its Particular Content?
[ send me this essay ]
To conjure a concept is to bring about thought; however, the question as to where and how that thought originated continues to be a critical debate within philosophical circles. Is mankind merely a pawn in a grander, more extensive interplay of intentional mental states like beliefs or desires that exist only because of external influences, or do people truly harbor an internal, ethereal knowledge that serves as the foundation of content? If externalist theories of content are true, it seems as if a person could be wrong about what he or she comes to believe. However, such theories and methods used to pose the externalist threat to self knowledge, along with responses to them that claim self-knowledge and externalism are compatible, may well provide a better understanding of how the argument for internalism has just as much influence - if not more - within the quest for a convincing conjecture. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
