  didn’t want to give their opinion about that but I could have easily guessed that they would not have accepted some of these sections. It was clear that I should have chosen sciences , like my brother and sister did . Do our personalities differ? Probably, to a certain extent they do, but not essentially.

• Bauer, Bruno

  Bauer's efforts to treat the Gospel stories as the unconscious expressions of the religious mind, and to trace their historical development. By 1840, he had written a number of multi-volume studies devoted to explaining that biblical history was fundamentally an imaginative exercise of the religious mind, with little or no actual basis in fact. This thesis was set forth in his Kritik der evangelischen Geschichte des Johannes (Critique of the Gospel of John) . From this point on, Bauer would...

• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Akrasia

  apparent contradiction. Certainly, though, VII 3 does make it seem as though Aristotle is inclined to deny that there can be such a thing as utterly clear-eyed akrasia - the calm, deliberate and intentional performance of an action known not to be in one's own best interests. The chapter is largely concerned with the application to the problemof akrasia of two distinctions, one rooted in Aristotle's doctrine of the practical syllogism, the other concerned with a contrast between the mere po...

Yet all these positions are held and argued about with...

• From Bulfinch's Mythology: Echo and Narcissus - anthology.

  So may'st thou be translated to the skies,And give resounding grace to all heaven's harmonies.' Milton has imitated the story of Narcissus in the account which he makes Eve give of the first sight of herself reflected in the fountain.

• Being

  the present participle of the verb 'to be' . This suggests a different analogy. When one asks 'What is running? ' (and is not asking which thing is running) one is asking about the character a thing must have in order to count as running. By analogy one might expect that the question 'What is being? ' raises the issue of which character or property being is. The notion that 'being' names an entity was the first possibility explored. Parmenides reaches the extraordinary conclusion tha...

• Colour and qualia

  Faced with the dilemmas posed by subjective colour for physicalist doctrine, some philosophers opt for eliminativism, the doctrine that subjective colour is not a genuine, or real, phenomenon after all. On this view the source of the puzzle is a conceptual confusion; a tendency to extend our judgments concerning objective colour, what appear to be intrinsic properties of the surfaces of physical objects, onto the properties of our mental states. Once we see that all that is happening ‘inside'...

• Complex Numbers I INTRODUCTION Complex Numbers, in mathematics, the sum of a real number and an imaginary number.
