Therefore, in this volume Thomas Morris has provided a very deep insight as to why people who live in today’s world tend to avoid the urge to think about the ultimate issues.Pascal was able to do it with the best, However they know that there is more to the reality than the reason, that some of the realms of reality just need to be encountered through some other means.In the next Chapter 2 The foolish indifference, due to our bored indifference towards ultimate realities, the timeless truths, makes our greatest flaw.Having been given this reality, there is the need for a good guide that shows us how we are supposed to live.Therefore if we as human beings don’t just ignore the ultimate issues, then, we find the ways to keep our minds on o...

Heart of Darkness.Though the corruption of both societies is meant to be interpreted by the reader, it is implied through both Kurtz and Dorian Gray.On the outside, hedonism sounds like a pleasurable alternative to reality.“He had the power to charm or frighten rudimentary souls into an aggravated witch dance in his honor; he could also fill small souls of the pilgrims with bitter misgivings…” (Conrad, II, 46)It is this power which is the ultimate destruction of Kurtz.In both cases, the reality is extremely contrary to the façade.

This is what is meant by 'unstable equilibrium'.Details apart, we are required to have an intensely amplified look into the nucleus of an atom so as to search out the non-particular, non-composite, original, eternal Reality.This is what is meant by 'inter-division' caused by the 'intra-division', i.e., fission of the nuclear mass.This 'energy' may well be considered ultimate, for it cannot be reduced to anything prior to it, since it is not a 'particle'.The Power, i.e., Ultimate Reality, while creating destroys, and while destroying creates, things, just as H2O cannot produce one molecule of water, unless and until the ingredients cease to exist as gases.

According to Brahman, it meant a truthful speech or dominant statement.This trend goes on for a number of times before Prajapati in the end presenting atman as the one that is always aware as his ultimate and true teaching.Even though the teaching of Sandilya about atman and brahman is frequently regarded as the central Upanishads’ doctrine, it is vital to keep in mind that this does not make the only characterization of ultimate of reality or the self.Furthermore, it is habitually unclear, even in the teaching of Sandilya, whether or not relating atman to brahman denote to the complete self identity and ultimate reality or if atman is believed to be a quality or aspect of brahman.Upanishads are only meant for the chosen few that are fit...

He also mentioned that God may exist either in the mind alone (in intellectu) or in the reality as well.He then came up, and put forward an idea of a most perfect island and he used the same argument as Anselm to prove its existence and he concluded that whilst it can be conceived, it does not mean it exists.Therefore, as the greatest possible being, God exists in reality and the mind.This logically meant that something which exists in reality as well as in the mind is greater than something which exists in the mind alone.God is a necessary being, who is not contingent, he does not depend on others for existence.

It is true that rivalry from other great European powers was vital in turning British control in Africa from informal into solid occupation, however essentially Britain’s determination not to allow other nations to grab land was to avoid threat to its trade and economic interests in a region.This meant that before taking formal control, an economic influence had to be established in the region by private investors and entrepreneurs.Without any economic potential in an area Britain was not interested in colonization, in contrast if a region held great economic investments, for example Egypt, Britain was quick to occupy the area despite its reluctance to extend formal control which it viewed as consuming time, people and money.Although the...

Realism bases on the assumption that reality is determined by the same rules which govern physical artifacts and phenomena also realism identifies metaphysical reality with change and dynamism, and holds that change is not illusory or purely accidental to the substance, but rather the very cornerstone of reality or Being.They asserted that matter is possibly known through the senses but its principles can only be understood by the mind, while to the realism, matter is the ultimate reality and material things exist independent of the mind.As Idealists are of the opinion that the world, and everything in it, is but a creation of our minds and there is no objective reality While Realists makes clear that reality existed in form and matter m...

These people would label things as reality solely because they believe what they are being told.The word shadow, represents an illusion of reality, a false vision of the truth, are those false ideas created by the lack of knowledge that people live by in this world.This allegory is a fictional dialogue between Socrates and Glaucon, where Socrates compares the issues appearance vs. reality, education vs. ignorance.This text helped to push me along the way because it is directly related with college life, where a successful student is the one who considers that his/her mission is questioning and challenging the authenticity of those things that we believe are true.Finally the word light or the Sun, used to represent the ultimate truth, the...

.. Shariah is the framework of ultimate reality and the ethical guidance that Muslim scholars have derived from the direct revelation of Allah to man.Abu Is-haq al-Shatibi who is regarded as the father ofthe study of Maqasid has regarded Induction as one of the main sources of Shariah, but rather as the source of sources because of the role it plays in understanding and deriving its rules and principles .It can therefore be concluded here that Shariah provides the ultimate criteria for judgment on every aspect of one’s individual and social life.Therefore the method preferred if one wants to know Maqasid is through Induction, i.e.Whatever ensures the safeguarding of these five serves public interest and is desirable’ In the following l...
