B.F. Skinner and George Edward Moore Regarding the Determination of Human Actions
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses how B.F. Skinner brought into question the motivations that lead people to modify their actions, as well as the ways in which �determinism� is responsible for human thought and action. In comparison, the lesser-known George Edward Moore directed his area of research toward the free will of human beings and the idea that individuals have free will �only if we sometimes could have done what we did not do, and if everything is caused, then we never could have done what we did not do.� Numerous critics have claimed that the two are essentially saying the same thing. The author of this report argues otherwise. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Baudrillard's Theory of Hyper-Reality
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages. The premise of this paper is to analytically assess the theory of Hean Baudrillard's hyper-reality as related to the media's impact on the social world. It is well-known that the media has a most profound impact on our lives today, but how is that impact connected in regards to hyper-reality? Obviously not everything that gets reported is based on reality, and in light of that fact, there is a deep connection to Baudrillard's theory. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas And Philonous": Direct Realism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Throughout most of the First Dialogue of Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous," Hylas' position has two components: (R) For an ordinary physical object (such as a tree) to really exist is for it to exist external to, and independent of the mind; and (D) We immediately perceive ordinary physical objects. Sometimes this position (R + D) is called Direct Realism, a position which Philonous openly argues against. No additional sources cited.
