Philosophy of Mathematics and Language
Throughout its history mankind has wondered about his place in the universe. In fact, second only to the existence of God, this subject is the most frequent topic of philo-sophical analysis. However, these two questions are very similar, to the point that in some philosophical analyses the questions are synonymous. In these particular philoso-phies, God takes the form of the universe itself or, more accurately, the structure and function of the universe. In any case,

The Importance of Philosophy to Engineering
Abstract Philosophy has not paid sufficient attention to engineering. Nevertheless, engineering should not use this as an excuse to ignore philosophy. The argument here is that philosophy is important to engineering for at least three reasons. First, philosophy is necessary so that engineers may understand and defend themselves against philosophical criticisms.

Socrates
Philosophy in ancient Greece was merely a type of argument, until a pioneer named Socrates showed the world a new way of thinking. Socrates was born in 469 BC in Athens (where he lived all his life) as the son of Sophroniscus, a stonemason, and Phaenarete.

To say this is not to deny that there are important traditions in philosophy that are intimately bound up with historical and geographical circumstances. When the term

Pro-Choice Philosophy and Abstinence
We recognize no single, universal, objective moral truth that determines our moral decisions. On the contrary, we must consider a broad range of values whenever we seek to make wise, ethical, and compassionate choices. We respect a woman's moral capacity to make decisions regarding her health and welfare, including reproductive decisions. A woman's choices reflect how she weighs her various life circumstances: her important relationships, her economic, social, and emotional resources and obligations, her health,

Zhuangzi The story that Zhuangzi offers on pages 216-217 is the basis for this discussion. In this excerpt, Zhuangzi sets up a conversation between Gaptooth and Royal Relativity. I think that the names used within this story may have been deliberate.

This story seems to be
