The Relationship Between Happiness And Work
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Happiness and work are inextricably intertwined even though the coupling may seem entirely mismatched. The extent to which happiness is the result of virtue is both grand and far-reaching; that work cultivates feelings of accomplishment and value - and therefore virtue - speaks to the inherent segue between happiness and work. The gift of producing something either with one's own hands or intellect is gratifying in and of itself, so it only stands to reason how that work-related performance should give way to feelings of happiness through achievement. And then begins the unending cycle of work creating happiness and happiness infusing the value of virtuous work. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Relevance of the Evolutionary Theory to Moral Philosophy
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the relevance of the evolutionary theory to moral philosophy. Since the publication of the evolutionary theory in 1859 by Charles Darwin, it has remained relevant in the arguments in moral philosophy, social theory, and human development as well as making its obvious impact on the scientific community. While some philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche used the concept of experience from the science of Darwin to further philosophical arguments, others believed that evolution could be applied directly to the development of morality, ethics and consciousness as components of survival similar to those found in the animal kingdom. Many modern day philosophers and theologians disagree however as aspects of morality and consciousness cannot be found to have an origin other than that of divine intervention. Regardless of the acceptance or rejection of the evolutionary theory as applied to moral and ethical development, its introduction and concepts through the world of science have had a significant impact and relevance in all academic disciplines including moral philosophy.
