Soul/Body Duality
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that considers the problem of mind or soul and body duality. The writer argues that the body/soul duality that runs throughout the course of Western cultural tradition is an erroneous concept that can be traced to male anxiety over his position in the natural scheme of things. The desire to separate from their mothers is a primary psychological task for males. Furthermore, they feel compelled by their sex drive to have dominion over women. This creates numerous contradictory yet compelling drives that war in the male mind. The division of the identity--mind or soul versus body--divorces the male psyche from this entire boondoggle of confusion and affords the illusion that the urges of the body are not really him, that is, that his true identity rests solely in the mind. This point is argued. No sources are cited/no bibliography is provided.

Descartes sought to be sensational in his examples, likely more for gaining attention for them than from actual support for them.

Space, Time And Relations
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Martin Buber's concept of relation maintains three specific spheres in which relation takes place: I, Thou and It. Abraham Joshua Heschel's theory of the worlds of time and space holds a special meaning in man's existence with regard to perception. Noting how the world of time is exhibited by the interaction between people and the world of space is one where people interact with nature and other nonhuman entities, one can readily understand the impact such holistic theory has upon the way in which both worlds operate in today's society. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
