Georges Bastille’s Theories of Eroticism Eroticism in philosophy is related to the notion of beyond, which is the desire of ineffable or longing for something that lies beyond reality. It is opposed to other forms of love, and it is not the desire to communicate or share a relationship. Eros is the quest to feel one’s self with something that brings delight. It is individualistic and self-interested, which is the desire to possess something desirable. Then when that thing is not fulfilling, it is thrown away. This vision of Eros leads to eroticism. It is the quest for pleasure through extreme actions and experiences. Longing to lose one’s self in the satisfaction that they experience. Searching for happiness beyond extreme sexual behaviour is self-interested longing for comfort. Eroticism is a form of Eros, which is an erotic quest for a mysterious object of desire.

Eros should not be understood with the logic of selfish desire but inform of one losing their self, which…

decision trees essay In ethics, decision trees have numerous stems and branches traced back to a single root that describes how people should behave. The routes used by some branches to reach the single root vary in countless ways, yet all reach the specific description of the way people should live. The ‘branch’ discussed in this paper is stoicism. The Merriam-Webster dictionary identifies ‘stoic’ as “one apathetic to happiness or pain.” In the world of ethics, a stoic is described as “a representative of a school of philosophy established by Zeno of Citium about 300 B.C. holding that, an intelligent man should be without emotion, oblivious of happiness or grief, and obedient to natural law.” Stoics do not care about theoretical truth, as to how and why the universe started. However, a stoic believes that the most vital theory is that of recognition in humanity. The origin of stoicism was stirred in the third century when the citizens of Athens begun to discard ideas of Plato and Aristotle. While the views of Plato and Aristotle contrasted on government, they both…

Philosophical Analysis of The Truman Show The Truman Show is a philosophical science fiction comedy-drama that featured in America, 1998. It was primarily written by Andrew Nicol, who co-produced it with Scott Rudin, Edward S, Feldman, and Adam Schroeder. Peter Weir directed the film. The film focuses on the life of Truman Burbank, who unknowingly lives in the orchestrated world of a popular reality television program. Everything in Truman’s world is staged and dictated by the godlike antagonist, Christof. Even the weather and environment is simulated technologically (Weir). When Truman finds out the truth about his supposed reality, nothing can stop his escape from his confined world. The film explores human rebellion, religion, utopia, authenticity, and the human quest for certainty, which all notably have firm philosophical foundations.

For almost three decades, Truman had conformed to the belief and reality he had been presented with, the perfect world of Seahaven. Truman arguably led a good life, free of harm and premeditated by Christof. However,…
