The Work of St. Thomas Aquinas
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page overview of the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, which offer philosophical proof for Thomas’ arguments. The great benefit of Thomas’ writings and particularly the Summa is that they do not require initial agreement with Thomas’ position on any subject. Thomas assumed that individuals would question those values and beliefs that were quite natural to him. Rather than threaten these individuals with “hell fire and brimstone,” Thomas provided a base of reason from which the only possible conclusion was that of agreement with his position.

Theoretical Orientation: Enhances Or Blinds One's Way Of Looking At The World?
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. To look upon the world through the myopic perspective of theoretical orientation is to live life inside a narrow tunnel of understanding without benefit of accepting any other possibilities. The extent to which theoretical orientation - a wholly stringent approach to viewing the world based upon scientifically tangible proof - defines man's existence to encompass only what is incontestably verifiable is both grand and far-reaching; that humanity is structured so as to accept things as both perceived and incontrovertible speaks to the way in which theoretical orientation serves to blind one from all other possibilities. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Theories of John Locke and Gender
[ send me this essay ]
( 2.5 pp.) In John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government," (1689) he states that there may be times when it is necessary for a citizen to rebel against injustices, in other words there were times when revolution was justified. A feminist might read that same idea today and feel justified in overturning oppression. But Locke is talking about more than just that in this Second Treatise. We will look at these additional ideas and see how that might be extended into a feminist logic in spite of their historical age.
