.... conveniently known as “Discourse on Method,” Descartes describes his task as such: “as soon as my age permitted me to pass from under the control of my instructors, I entirely abandoned the study of letters and resolved no longer to seek any other science than the knowledge of myself, or of the great book of the world”(16). The knowledge of oneself, and of his so-called “book of the world,” can be obtained solely through a process of reason. He argues that it is reason alone “which constitutes us men, and distinguishes us from the brutes”(13). Therefore, according to him, .....

.... Soldiers of the Union Army wore uniforms of blue, gray and even red, but so did Confederates who were fighting for General Beauregard. To add to the confusion, both sides had flags that strongly resembled one another.

A pessimist strives on negativity and sorrow. A .....

.... did know that the system was corrupted, but why did they accept to adjust themselves to their oppression? I don't know. By accepting to conform their oppression they are giving up their basic rights that our four fathers gave them. They need to stand up for their rights until they reach their goal. As an example, women weren't allowed to vote prior to 1920. The women citizens of America wanted to vote and they had the right to vote. They fought and fought for the freedom to vote. On August 18, 1920, a bill was passed by Congress that gave women the right to vote whic .....
