• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Jeremy Bentham

  attack on the notions of natural law and natural rights has been more influential than his advocacy of the principleof utility: it has had the effect of making consequentialism respectable in moral philosophy.Consequentialists, like Bentham, judge actions by their consequences, and there is no class of actions which is ruledout in advance. A believer in natural law, told that some Herod or Nero has killed five thousand citizens guilty of nocrime, can say straightway ‘that was a wicked act'. The...

  of the connection of the images and resemblance between images. Such wholes are simple or complex, but since complexity is understood as having many themes, not parts, simplicity is an aesthetic virtue. Perceptions and images (which are secondary perceptions) are confused representations because they are not abstract, intelligible forms, which alone would be conceptually distinct. But while they lack intensional clarity, they may have great extensional clarity, and may form thematic wholes based...

As for Ralph, we don't know much about him, but we know he contributes to the group by going fishing and hunting too. He's also the narrator and the main character of the novel, which gives him some importance.  6. Ralph describes life on the island as a life of “uninterrupted harmony and happiness”. Alth...

  important economic area. The gradual expansion of markets and the ever growing production of agricultural products led to innovation of new technologies, resulting in an increase in farm production. America's inventiveness is closely linked to the offshoot of the expansion westward in that regard. But more generally Turner wants to stress the importance of the government in securing land and maintaining law and order at the frontier. New institutions were created, such as the Bureau o...

• Bentham, Jeremy

  also highly detailed designs for states, prisons, banknotes, and much else. His principal writings on language, ontology and the philosophy of law were only published posthumously. Jeremy Bentham was born in London on 15 February 1748. He was the son and grandson of lawyers and was educated to follow them making money from the practice of law. However he soon became revolted at the current condition of the law and so, instead of making money from it, devoted the rest of his life to a study of ho...

So interpreted, Anaxagoras is making the general assumptionthat instances of whatever clearly differentiated species of living things now exist must also have existed at least inseminal form before cosmogony. The thesis in fragment 1 - that there is no lower limit on how small something couldbe in the original condition - has as it...

• Arnauld, Antoine

  dualism has laid the surest foundation for the immortality of the soul. 3 The Arnauld-Malebranche debate In 1680, Arnauld came across the manuscript of Malebranche's Traité de la nature et de la grace (Treatise on Nature and Grace) , which was in the process of being printed. He was so astounded by what he read there that, unable to halt its publication, he decided to publicly refute Malebranche's entire system. His ultimate target wasMalebranche's views on grace and on God's gen...

As it stands, the argument is laden with Aristotelian terminology, and does not prove that the apeiron is qualitatively indefinite, only that it is different from the four Aristotelian elements. Its authenticity has been questioned, but it probably has an Anaximandrian kernel, attackingThales ' conception of water as the basic material of the universe using the argument: 'If everything were made of, or originated from, wate...

• Byzantine Empire .

  Emperor Alexius I, founder of the Comnenian dynasty, nevertheless appealed to the pope for aid against the Turks. Western Europe responded with the First Crusade(1096-99). Although Byzantium initially benefited from the Crusades, recovering some land in Asia Minor, in the long run they hastened the empire's decline. Italian merchant citieswon special trading privileges in Byzantine territory and gained control of much of the empire's commerce and wealth. The Byzantines experienced a superficialp...

  particulars, unlike a substance, has no reality or meaning independent of the elements it orders, and these elements have meaning only in terms of the positions they each occupy in the series. Cassirer formulated this indissoluble bond between universal and particular of the functional concept as F (a, b, c, …). It suggested to him a model for how the mind forms experience in all spheres of human activity, cognitive and noncognitive. The historical source for this insight is Kant 's idea of th...
