Rousseau, Burke And Tocqueville: Political Ideology, Society And Individualism
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Alexis de Tocqueville analyzed the pitfalls of individualism when he wrote Democracy in America, while Edmund Burke, in Reflections of the French Revolution, condemned diversity, nonconformity and individualism. Jean Jacques Rousseau critiqued community value within the literary boundaries of his Basic Political Writings. Is there such a thing as too much individualism? Does a community have rights? Do the rights of the individual outweigh those of the community? Clearly, the notion of political ideology delves much deeper within the very essence of society than many people realize.

Scientific And Philosophic Explanation Of The 1755 Lisbon Earthquake
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Science and philosophy do not make the best bedfellows, however, when the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 set off a series of natural disasters, the two very distinct and often contrary entities came together as a means by which to offer explanation. Nearly leveled to the ground almost two-and-a-half centuries ago, Lisbon was thought by many theologians to be paying for a significant spiritual debt, while the scientific community took a decidedly more logical approach to explanation. Among those who spoke for the philosophical community, Kant, Voltaire and Rousseau were instrumental in engaging in esoteric rationalization; Tobias Mayer, German mathematician Johann Friedrich Jacobi, Johann Gottlob Kr�ger and John Michell all took the side of irrefutable objective reasoning.
