Understanding The Nature Of Reality
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Much of Western social theory � and even some of Western civilization � has involved efforts to improve the self, with much of the focus revolving around improving the material conditions of the self (food, shelter, work life, and so on). Sometimes, however, the focus has been upon improving the individual's consciousness, reflecting the individual's understanding of the nature of reality and of how to act effectively in that reality. In order to develop the best set of general guidelines for understanding and acting effectively within the confines of reality, one must first demarcate and prioritize one's thoughts and activities as they relate to both self and society; upon successfully establishing this separation, one must then be able to realize which elements are beneficial for one's existence within reality and which ones are detrimental. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Vice & Virtue: Aristotle's Understanding
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. As a civilized being, man strives to maintain a virtuous example by way of thought and action. There are times, however, when vice distracts these efforts and renders man vulnerable to a less ethical existence. When one is virtuous, he abides by morally upstanding
principles to help guide him through life; when one is consumed by vice, he has lost control of the very foundation of his moral existence. Aristotle spoke much on the subject of vice and virtue, contending that ethical virtuosity is something that must derive from everyone, not merely a
portion of the population. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
