• Slavery in the United States - U.

  tripled, from about 1.2 million to almost 4 million in 1860. The natural growth of the slave population meant that slavery could survive without new slave imports.

C1 Feinting Moving the hands or head to confuse an opponent is called feinting. A smart boxer will first test the opponent by trying different feints, noting the reaction to each onebefore deciding which will b...

  and by external arches, called flying buttresses. Consequently, the thick walls of Romanesque architecture could be largely replaced by thinner walls with glass windows,and the interiors could reach unprecedented heights. A revolution in building techniques thus occurred. With the Gothic vault, a ground plan could take on a variety of shapes. The general plan of the cathedrals, however, consisting of a long three-aisled nave interceptedby a transept and followed by a shorter choir and sanctuary,...

• Maya Civilization.

  destruction was directed mostly at temples in the ceremonial precincts; it had little or no impact on the economy or population of a city as a whole. Some city-states didoccasionally conquer others, but this was not a common occurrence until very late in the Classic period when lowland civilization had begun to disintegrate. Until thattime, the most common pattern of Maya warfare seems to have consisted of raids employing rapid attacks and retreats by relatively small numbers of warriors, most o...

  growing economic and social difficulties. Although Madero called for free and democratic elections, and a ban on reelection at all levels of government, he offered little tourban workers seeking higher wages and better working conditions, or to indigenous people seeking the restoration of their traditional lands.

• Moon - astronomy.

  B Volcanic Features Maria, domes, rilles, and a few craters display indisputable characteristics of volcanic origin. Maria are plains of dark-colored rock that cover approximately 40 percent ofthe Moon's visible hemisphere. The maria formed when molten rock erupted onto the surface and solidified between 3.16 billion and 3.96 billion years ago. This rockresembles terrestrial basalt, a volcanic rock type widely distributed on Earth, but the rock that formed the maria has a higher iron content an...

Observations from telescopes on Earth and in space indicate that most of the gases in the coma and tail of a comet are fragmentary molecules, or radicals, of the mostcommon elements in space: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The radicals, for example, of CH, NH, and OH may be broken away from the stable molecules CH 4 (methane), NH 3 (ammonia), and H 2O (water), which may exist as ices or more complex, very cold compounds in the nucleus.

• Argentina - country.

  Patagonia lies in the rain shadow of the Andes and so receives little moisture. As a result it is used primarily for grazing sheep, although some crops are grown on smallfarms in irrigated valleys. Several major oil fields also are in Patagonia. At the southern tip of Patagonia is Tierra del Fuego, a large mountainous island shared byArgentina and Chile. B Rivers and Lakes Most of Argentina’s rivers empty into the Atlantic Ocean. Three rivers—the Paraná, Paraguay, and Uruguay—flow generally sou...

• Michigan - geography.

  The interior location of Michigan in the northern part of North America results in a continental climate, characterized by four definite seasons with moist, mild to hotsummers and snowy, cold winters. Winds off of Lakes Michigan and Superior in winter create heavy snow accumulations in nearby areas. The tempering effects of LakeMichigan account for the presence of the state’s famous fruit-growing belt along the lake’s shore. Since the water is colder than the land in spring, the westerly windspa...

  II./ L'activité de l'entendement dans la constitution de l'objectivité de l'expérience sensible. A./ Reprenons l'exemple de la pomme. Lorsque je la perçois, quelles sont mes données sensorielles ? Un peu devert, de rouge et de reflets, organisés en forme circulaire par la vue, une sensation de dureté au toucher, un goutacide au goût.

  LE BANGLADESH AU XXe SIÈCLE Le Bangladesh correspond au territoire de l’ex-Pakistan oriental ayant résulté de la partition de l’Inde, en 1947, entre hindous et musulmans (le Pakistan était alors constitué de deux territoires séparés par l’Inde). Le Pakistan occidental a mené une politique hégémonique qui ne tarda pas à susciter au Pakistan oriental une aspiration à une plus large autonomie. Aux élections de décembre 1970, la Ligue Awami, porte-parole de la contestation bengali, remporte la major...

• Devoir et nécessité. Obligation et contrainte ?

  les sociétés justes, ces contraintes reposent sur des obligations légitimes. Une société de pure contrainte n'apporterait rien à ses membres. Elleaurait peu de chances de durer. Comment peut alors se mettre en place une véritable logique de l ‘obligation ? « Il ne serait pas [...] raisonnable de croire que les Peuples se sont d'abord jetés entre les bras d'un Maître absolu,sans conditions et sans retour, et que le premier moyen de pourvoir à la sûreté commune qu'aient imaginé deshommes...

• Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Y a-t-il un droit du plus fort ? ?

  Or le droit suppose la permanence d'un ordre qui s'oppose à l'irrégularité du fait. Cette permanence est fondée sur laloi et non sur la force. Qu'est-ce qu'un droit qui périt quand la force cesse sinon un état de fait qu'on nomme ainsiabusivement ? Qu'est-ce qu'un droit mesuré par la force sinon ce qu'on appelle la « loi de la jungle », expression quidésigne en fait l'absence de toute loi ?La conclusion de ce texte a une portée révolutionnaire évidente : sitôt qu'on peut désobéir impunément on l...

• Le doute s'oppose-t-il à la vérité ?

  2. Le doute comme condition de l'accès à la vérité. • Dans la Logique, Kant distingue très nettement le scepticisme, qui consiste à«traiter les connaissances de façon à les rendre incertaines et à montrerl'impossibilité d'atteindre à la certitude», et la méthode sceptique, qui consiste àmener une chose « au plus haut degré de l'incertitude dans l'espoir de trouver surson chemin la trace de la vérité ». Le doute apparaît ainsi comme ayant une utilitéméthodologique certaine dans l...

En saisissant son lecteur au plus vif de ses croyances politiques avecun ouvrage qui n'est pourtant pas simplement un pamphlet antimonarchique local, Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563)le contraint à s'interroger sur le pouvoir qu'il endure, en même temps que sur sa soumission aux catégories del'opinion. Le Discours sur la servitude volontaire (1548, dit aussi le Contr'Un) ne se contente pas d'affirmer que lapolitique présente est intolérable,...

• Les lois de la nature sont-elles des conventions ?

  Conclusion : Si nous voulons nous faire une idée juste de la nature de la connaissance scientifique, il convient, selon le conseil de Gaston Bachelard, de se pencher sur la science en train de se faire. En effet, une fois constitué l'ensemble des lois, physiques, chimiques, biologiques, dont la formulations sous formes de réseaux d'équations est relativement (bien que provisoirement) achevée, on peut avoir l'impression que les lois de la nature ainsiformulées sont conventionnelles : tout y a sa...

  besoin s'indexe sur l'objet, le désir porterait quant à lui sur un objet sans être causé par lui. Autrement dit ce n'estpas la pomme qui était désirable en soi, c'est le désir d'Adam pour elle qui l'a rendu désirable. Comme l'écrit Spinoza dans son Ethique III, 9 « nous ne nous efforçons pas vers quelque objet, nous ne le voulons, ne le désirons que parce que nous désirons qu'il est unbien, mais au contraire nous ne jugeons qu'un objet est un bien que parceque nous nous efforçons vers lui,...

• Science et philosophie

  La pensée théorique se constitue dans le prolongement des activités pratiques.     Passage de la science à la philosophie   La science s'oppose à l'art qui, comme le dit Platon, porte sur le contingent : en effet, selon lui, « toutes les opérations des divers arts sont poésie », « les artisans sont tous des poètes ». Poésie > poiein, faire, créer. Ainsi, si l'art se définit comme créateur, il porte sur ce qui peut aussi bien être que n'être pas, c'est-à-dire sur le contingent. La scienc...

  Problématique La sagesse suffit-elle à nous rendre heureux ? Le bonheur s'atteint-il pleinement et essentiellement dans la simple sagesse, toujours par ailleurs rechercher et jamais atteinte ?
