Western Philosophy.
the popular belief in personal deities, but he failed to explain the way in which the familiar objects of experience could develop out of elements that are totally differentfrom them. Anaxagoras therefore suggested that all things are composed of very small particles, or “seeds,” which exist in infinite variety. To explain the way in whichthese particles combine to form the objects that constitute the familiar world, Anaxagoras developed a theory of cosmic evolution. He maintained that the activ...

Krone Wins Belmont Stakes.
Krone, her mud-spattered face tracked by tears, was nearly speechless in the winner's circle. “How do you stop crying?” she asked one of Colonial Affair's practiceriders, according to Sports Illustrated. “You don't,” he replied. Krone's triumph represented a personal victory, and it marked a quantum leap forward for women in professional sports. Her win was the first ever by a femalejockey in a Triple Crown race—the Belmont, Kentucky Derby, or Preakness. Krone chose to downplay the issue....

The Story of An Hour by Kate Chopin
“The Dream of An Hour”, it is described as a dream to describe something unrealistic and unreachable. Women were not allowed to think for themselves or have an opinion of their own, they had to have the same opinions as their husbands or fathers, at the time. It took her husband dying for her to feel free, it was the only way, back then, for a woman to be free, as women were always financially dependent on men, a woman goes from being dependant on her father to being dependant on her husband, sh...

Big Bang Theory - astronomy.
hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms can only absorb and emit specific colors, or wavelengths, of light. The formation of atoms allowed many other wavelengths of light,wavelengths that had been interfering with the free electrons prior to the cooling of the universe, to travel much farther than before. This change set free radiation thatwe can detect today. After billions of years of cooling, this cosmic background radiation is at about 3 K (-270°C/-454°F).The cosmic background radiation was first d...

Conceptual analysis
Kant's important idea that conceptual truths can be either analytic a priori or synthetic a priori is effectively erased by Gottlob Frege in his Foundations of Arithmetic (1884). Frege's overriding philosophical aim is to put mathematical proof on a firm footing by reducing the truths of arithmetic to analytic truths of logic. In view of this, the proper goal of an analysis is the production of non-circular, explanatory, yet meaning-preserving general definitions of fundamental concepts -...

Cognitive Psychology.
full richness of people’s cognitive experiences. Describing the act of remembering as a process of storage and retrieval, for example, neglects the subjective experienceof remembering. Another criticism is that information-processing theory may not reflect how the brain actually works. Newer models, such as the parallel distributedprocessing model, try to address this criticism by drawing on studies of brain structure and function. Psychologists continue to debate the adequacy of the information...

Introduction The separation of ownership and control in the modern corporations traces back to the idea that in general the division of labour leads to more efficient performance. The shareholders take the risk by handing over their capital to people who have the expertise and the time that they do not have in order t...

what is a good life
Moderation should be promoted beyond all. Trying to follow the extremes will not lead you anywhere. Balance brings inner tranquillity and peace to each individual, and since the soul trumps the external and the body, balance brings exterior calm as well. The result is a whole society in balance, which permits harmony, just like Plato promotes it ( The Republic ). One should seek for moderate happiness instead of up- and-downs or intensive pleasures, for the latter will mean indeed extreme...

So, although thegrowth of the natural sciences did much to remove human dependence on the gods to explain events within nature,a foothold in ultimate explanations still remained; and certain phenomena in nature, particularly the apparent designin plants and animals, continued to suggest an intelligent being exercising a causal influence within nature.

Birds usually sleep in shrubs, on tree branches, in holes in trees, or on the ground. Most ducks sleep onthe water. Many birds sleep while they are standing.

Miss Podsnap's lifehad been, from her first appearance on this planet, altogether of a shady order; for, Mr Podsnap's young person was likely to get little good out of association withother young persons, and had therefore been restricted to companionship with not very congenial older persons, and with massive furniture. Miss Podsnap's earlyviews of life be...
