Poetry and Science: A Diamond or a Person?

http://poetry-and-science.blogspot.com/2009/05/diamond-or-person.html

Sunday, May 3, 2009. A Diamond or a Person? 8220;Diamonds” is different from the first two sections because it gets very personal with the addition of a certain father who plays the occupation as a gem cutter. This father that is described throughout this section is such a pro at his profession that he believes that gem cutting is all about skill in precision and that no God is responsible for the perfection of his cuts. What this means is that he is unable to express how he really feels. A couple pages ...

Poetry and Science: On Geodes

http://poetry-and-science.blogspot.com/2009/04/on-geodes.html

Monday, April 20, 2009. Here is a short something on Geodes. I also found his last clip about using the alphabet and some other characters to turn a reading into a adventure underground. I doubt it has significant meaning within how he describes each letter/symbol but that idea of turning a reading into a cavern of geodes was interesting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Poetry and Science: The power of Language

http://poetry-and-science.blogspot.com/2009/04/power-of-language.html

Monday, April 13, 2009. The power of Language. This goes back to what Williams has been trying to convey: that imagination, like Nagel's objectivity, where stepping back from one's personal views and looking at the situation more broadly, is important to obtain a more intelligent understanding.  Rather than looking at everything based on personal experience, by opening up one's mind, they will be able to grasp an even further understanding of something.  One's intelligence will expand!

Poetry and Science: Positive Philosophy summary

http://poetry-and-science.blogspot.com/2009/04/positive-philosophy-summary.html

Sunday, April 26, 2009. So I wrote this summary to help me write my essay. I decided to post it to hopefully help people study for the final. The summary is pretty rough and if anyone sees any misinterpretation errors please let me know :). 1 To explain positive philosophy, we must take a look at the history of the human mind. 2 There is a law, which can be proved using historical verification. 3 The law is that each branch of our knowledge passes through 3 stages:.

Friday, May 1, 2009. Apropos of recent questions about grad school, I thought to link to Marc Bousquet.
