Philosophy of Human Existence (Pl 281) Fall Semester

Reflection Paper #1
Reference to Introduction and Proposition 1

I. We focus on the self, or selfhood, as the ground from which to develop a philosophy of human existence. How do you know this self reflectively in a properly human activity? How is there reflective self-consciousness in such proper activities of a human being like yourself? How does the knowing of reflective self-consciousness differ from other kinds of knowing, such as observation, introspection, intuition, inference, as found in the natural and social sciences? How would you characterize this kind of knowing as something you are actually doing right now in writing this paper? Describe some past experience of your own in which this kind of knowing of yourself was especially in evidence for you, prior to any idea of doing a philosophy of human existence.

II. Assuming that philosophy is a science, or an inquiry into the truth accounting for the fact of human existence as we know it in experience, how do you see this initial focus on selfhood as grounding a science distinct from any of the particular natural or social sciences that also deal with the fact of human existence? How would you characterize or describe the method of this philosophical science of human existence in comparison to any particular science you know about pertaining to the fact of human existence? At this point what do you think is to be learned through this philosophic

that I will be choosing is the emphasis on decision making, reflection, and autonomy. The first factor is about teachers making decision in complex and ill-defined situations. With this factor, it helps you decide what kind of teacher you want to become. The second factor involves making a number of decisions but most of them are reduced to simple rules.

Module 2 Thematic Essay

Grand Canyon University: EED 364 6/22/2013 The science lesson plan that I have observed was on the behavior of light. The teacher integrated the following concepts in her lesson plan the first one was reading. She provided the students with text book reading to observe and read in their textbooks on the behavior of light. The textbook study that the teacher provided to the students was that light has other properties that make it fun and enjoying to learn about. She also provided the students…

PROPERTIES OF LIGHT Essay

PROPERTIES OF LIGHT The properties of light include: 1. Reflection 2. Refraction 3. Dispersion 4. Absorption 5. Sscattering CRITICAL ANGLE & TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION When light is transmitted through a semi-circular Perspex block and the angle of incidence is refracted, the Angle of refraction is less than 90o. When light is transmitted through a semi-circular Perspex block and the refracted ray travels along the straight edge of the Perspex block, the angle of incidence is called the critical…

Comparing and Contrasting Euclidean, Spherical, and Hyperbolic Geometries Essay

other geometry. However, sometimes a property is true for all three geometries. These points bring us to the purpose of this paper. This paper is an opportunity for me to demonstrate my growing understanding about Euclidean Geometry, Spherical Geometry, and Hyperbolic Geometry. The first issue that I will focus on is the definition of a straight line on all of these surfaces. For a Euclidean plane the definition…

Violent Crime Essay

Reports from 2011 to 2012, I was able to see that the violent crime rate dropped four percent, the property crime rate has dropped 0.8 percent, and the arson crime rate dropped five percent. Looking at arson and the sub-categories of violent crime, such as murder, forced rape, robbery and aggravated assault, each crime rate has gone down by a decent number. But a sub-category of property crime, burglary, was the only crime rate that has risen 0.8 percent from 2010 to 2011. I believe that when any crime…

Ultrasound Research Paper

mediums. Both reflection and refraction will result in scattering. The beam can diffuse in many different directions due to the interaction with those small particles within the tissue medium. This will give rise to the characteristic texture and gray scale in the acoustic image. The loss of intensity of the ultrasound beam is due to absorption of the tissue and the scattering by the small particles. The energy of the beam is more attenuated as the depth traveled increases. The equation I=I_0 e^(-μx)…

Essay on Deer Decoying

Final Reflection Whitetail Research Project 2013 It was a calm, clear, and beautiful November morning during the prime rut in Wisconsin. I was perched about twenty feet up one of the many deer stands located on our property in Waushara County. I had been sitting in the stand for about two hours now and hadn’t seen a deer, which was pretty normal. I sat there thinking to myself, “How come I am not seeing any deer? It’s a perfect morning and the best time to hunt. I have trail cam pictures of…
