Euthanasia Or Mercy Killings, George Joseph Nicoud

Bachelors’ Theses

In this modern and changing world new problems are constantly arising and older ones are being dispensed with. Man has to adapt himself almost daily to changing and more complex situations. The world has advanced to such an extent that in this present generation we are known as "human machines" rather than human beings. Men are worked until they drop off from the strain or they work until they are broken, decrepit old men, no longer a use to anybody and a burden to almost everybody. As our modernity progressed, so also did conventions and ideas. Ideas of morals changed. …

The Ethics Of William James, W Dean Lowry

Bachelors’ Theses

In our own time Psychology holds the vital position in philosophical discussion. This came about naturally in the trend of modern thought. Towards the middle of the nineteenth century the Science-Philosophy arose emancipating the philosophical theory of evolution based upon data of the Physical Sciences. This theory was confidently claimed to be the solution and the explanation of all Wings. To realize these hopes its advocates contended that man also was included in the great evolutive process. Hence the discussion about man’s place in nature became the crucial problem. Had man a spiritual nature with an immortal destiny, or was …

The Soul In Modern Thought, Joseph Talsky

Bachelors’ Theses

Many strange things happen in this world to add their particular bit to the general bafflement of man. Perhaps the strangest of all is the paradox of man's belief. He knows one thing in that heart of his and yet to all external appearances believes another. It is his prerogative to believe what he will but it is distressing that there is such great diversity of opinion concerning the very thing that is the ultimate principle and source of his ability to believe. Experience tells him that he has the enviable functions of thinking, feeling and willing but his experience …

Some Philosophical Implications Of Behaviorism., Harold Wayland Tribble

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Psychology is the middle ground between philosophy and science. Philosophy deals with the interpretation of facts, with, a view to determining their ultimate cause. It is the search for knowledge of general principles--elements, powers, causes and laws--as explaining facts and existences. Science is systematized knowledge of facts, laws and proximate causes, gained and verified by exact observation. Science is the effort to show how laws operate, and how certain facts affect other facts. Philosophy seeks to show why laws operate as they do, and to discern what is the first fact. Science deals with the sequence of events and effects …
