Feminist Philosophy @ Rhodes. Investigating the radical notion that women are people. Friday, April 30, 2010. Student Opinions and Awkwardness on Sexuality at Rhodes. Thursday, April 29, 2010. AZ Senate Bill 1070- one big birdcage? As I was reading the news today, I looked at the new laws that are being implemented in Arizona and I was particularly struck by the one regarding immigration. AZ Senate Bill 1070 includes the following:. It is a state crime to be in the United States illegally. Or, what about...

Philosophy Search: December 2009
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. I think that it is possible to identify a few of these factors by examining individual proposals of the State of Nature. What do these two hypothetical conditions tell us about Hobbes and Locke, and what determines one’s conceptualization of pre- government society? Is it possible to merge political philosophy and other fields to determine the true state of nature? A Common Introspective Thread. The thinkers about whom I am referring to are Luther, Kant, and Sartre. Luther̵...

Philosophy Search
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/man-is-condemned-to-be-free-condemned.html
Sunday, December 6, 2009. 8220;Man is condemned to be free: condemned, because he did not create himself, yet nonetheless free, because once cast into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”. Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism. This ominous phrase, “man is condemned to be free,” seems to clash with everything that I have been taught. I am left puzzled and must ask myself, “how can anyone be ‘condemned’ to freedom? It’s overused and, frankly, has become a bit stale. It carries with it a gr...

Philosophy Search: On Stereotypes
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/on-stereotypes.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. This is Cole not Will, apparently my account no longer works.). There are two sides to this coin. The side more often represented states that everyone should try to be equal and calls for an end to stereotypes. I think this is good. But I feel like it unevenly distributes the blame and responsibility. I don’t think it is appropriate to tell someone how he should think and judge others. If they did, then people couldn’t complain because the stereotype would be true. The point I ...

Philosophy Search: Men and Feminism
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/men-and-feminism.html
Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Among the fundamental problems within the feminist movements is the issue of male apathy. Feminist women often wonder—as do feminist men—why males are reluctant to learn about feminism. It is, after all, undeniably pertinent to modern society. Given both its historical and contemporaneous applicability, what is it about feminism that makes men cringe? Firstly, I think the term itself—feminism—is a contributory factor. Males such as myself, who are for equal rights between the...

Philosophy Search: Our Changing World
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/our-changing-world.html
Friday, December 4, 2009. People love to talk about their opinions regarding global transformation and progression. However, regardless of whether one is for or against globalization, our world is undergoing substantial changes. Here are some interesting facts and estimates:. It is estimated that a week's worth of the New York Times contains more information than a person was likely to come across in a lifetime in the 18th century. The top 10 in-demand jobs for 2010 did not exist in 2004. NTT Japan has s...

Philosophy Search: Modern Globalization VS. Ancient Globalization
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/modern-globalization-vs-ancient.html
Friday, December 4, 2009. Modern Globalization VS. Ancient Globalization. It then occurred to me that globalization nowadays is really more about differentiation. If one wants to argue that the pervasive of the culture and language and the increasing of economic dimension and so on have proved globalization to be true, I would say, why not look at the history of our past?

Philosophy Search: A Common Introspective Thread
http://rhodesphilosophysearch09.blogspot.com/2009/12/as-i-compiled-list-of-values-ive.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. A Common Introspective Thread. As I compiled the list of values I’ve gleaned from the different thinkers that compose the Search program for this class' final paper, I initially thought that I was affected by each for different reasons. For many I certainly was, but I was surprised to find that several on whom I drew seemed to embrace the same message, only in different forms. The thinkers about whom I am referring to are Luther, Kant, and Sartre. Luther forces his audience, in...
