  slavery from its claims of 'moral right,' back upon its existing legal rights, and its arguments of 'necessity.' Let us return it to the position our fathers gave it; and therelet it rest in peace. Let us readopt the Declaration of Independence, and with it the practices and policy which harmonize with it. Let North and South—let allAmericans—let all lovers of liberty everywhere—join in the great and good work. If we do this, we shall not only have saved the Union; but we shall have so saved ita...

• Sonnet

  the author William Shakespeare is completely infatuated with the idea of love that his heart has become love sick and his “love is as a fever, longing still” (1). He describes his love “as a fever” (1), with one whose only desire is to “preserve the ill” (3). Shakespeare expresses the theme of love as having the ability to do great harm and even drive someone to insanity while enslaving him or her under its power. As the sonnet begins the speaker has already met love, when he sees that h...

WhereasKant had led the reader gradually to the highest point of transcendental philosophy, or the synthetic unity of consciousness,Beck commences with it: with the postulate to represent originally. He then argues that the categories are but different modes of this original activity. Space emerges in original...

• Campbell, George

  Campbell's philosophy was influenced by that of David Hume , though Campbell employed much effort in correcting Hume. Campbell followed Hume in equating experience with the habitual associations of ideas in the mind, but thought that Hume's extreme emphasis on personal experience seriously undervalued the importance of memory (the only voucher for the past evidence of the senses) and of testimony to human knowledge as a whole. He therefore employed Common Sense philosophy to defend the nec...

• Blanchot, Maurice

  the danger of totalitarianism is that all negativity or independent action will be appropriated by the state, all opposition recuperated, all criticism absorbed. His fear, expressed in L'Écriture du désastre (1980) ( The Writing of the Disaster , 1986), is that the totalization of the state in modernity will lead to a world in which 'the prisoners construct their prison themselves' ( [1980] 1986: 45 ). The disaster, as Blanchot conceives it, is encapsulated by the totalitarian state, with i...

Collier replies that it does not.He expands on his reply in A Specimen of True Philosophy (1730), where he develops an immaterialistinterpretation of the opening verse of Genesis.Collier's second argument is that God would have no reason to create an external world. It is therefore‘extrinsically impossible', or impossible in view of its cause. He goes on to claim, in arguments that resembleKant's first and seco...

  story every Finn he could find, from Irish lore, English literature, and permutation of sound-alike words, such as “phoenix,” “Phoenician,” “Phineas,” and “finish.” Joyce carried his linguistic experimentation to its furthest point in Finnegans Wake, in part by combining English words with parts of words from various other languages. Joyce’s inventive use of language also shows in the way many words slip and slide in amusing directions. After an allusion to the fable of the ant and thegrasshop...

These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with any evil in case he do otherwise. To justify that, the conduct from which it is desired to deter him, must be calculated to produce evil to some one else. The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is ame...

Reflecting the constantly progressing sciences withtheir shifting paradigms, the system of categories and judgments represented in Cohen's logic is open-ended - quitea contrast to Kant's efforts to find fixed normative patterns in our thinking as earnest of its objectivity. There areother deviations: most strikingly, Kant's ‘thing-in-itself' (noumena) (see Kant, I. §3) is eliminated as a superfluousdogmatic prejudice. In another not...
