Philosophy And Skepticism
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Stoic philosophy incorporated a number of beliefs pertaining to logic, physics and ethics that comprised their very existence, a reality that varied considerably from that of the Epicureans. Determinism was the mantra for Stoicism, however it was a guided path provided by intelligence instead of mechanics. Because Stoicism was bound by right and wrong with no middle ground in between, it stood to reason how those who were born of wisdom were privileged to inherit righteousness; for those without benefit of knowledge and good judgment, they were always to be inferior. To the contrary, Epicurus espoused a life of choice that is derived from one's fearlessness of death and the gods, as well as keeping desires in check; moreover, this pursuit of pleasure is not realized by virtue of some whim of fate but rather is a compilation of the decisions one makes in relation to one's life.

Philosophy In The 21st Century
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Is there philosophy after the twentieth century's end of philosophy? Indeed, if humanity is to continue in a forward progression, one might readily argue that there had better be philosophical thought in the twenty-first century. Contemporary philosophy is spawned from the past; without historical influence, today's world would have no resemblance to its current state. Without the necessary and inherent contribution of philosophy, the twenty-first century would offer no direction to the humans who look toward it in anticipation of a better world.
