subjective realties of individual existence, individual freedom, and individual choice. Runaway by Kanye West is a great example of this philosophical theory and many connections can be made to his work and the work of Soren Kierkegaard, Franz Kafka, and Albert Camus. These four artists apply existentialist themes in their literature and even their private lives. The two themes that I found preeminent in these artists work are isolation and death. The four artists have a very philosophical cohesion between

According to genius physicist and philosopher Albert Einstein, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” While the debate still continues on whether technology makes us monotonous and confines the human spirit, others say that technology allows for endless possibilities when it comes to imagination and the freedom of ones character. While certain technologies can dampen the human spirit, many technology advancements admit the decision for one to express themselves

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, among other feats.

In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the

irst some questions: What is time? In a physical sense? In psychological terms? What does time do? How does it work? Can it be transcended? Time in many ways is like space. In physics, time and space are woven together, like a fabric upon which all matter lies. At the limits, near the speed of light, movement in time is yoked to movement in space. As spatial speed increases, temporal speed slows. Recent quantum physics, in the area of non-local phenomena, suggests that both time and space are not

It should give peace and relaxation to minds even we have created only a small thing. It is

general. Timothy Leary obviously was a firm believer that Psychedelics can be used for good. He was a writer known for advocating research into psychedelic drugs. I would agree with his positions regarding this question in the interview. Dr. Albert Hofmann was a research chemist at Sandoz Labs in Basle, Switzerland. In April of 1943, the chemist accidentally ingested a small amount of a compound he had synthesized five years earlier from a rye fungus ergot. 'I experienced fantastic images

In the article, the author put the reader in an impossible situation to analyze about the important role of ads in a social. He puts us in a world without advertising which I think will be boring!
