As James W. noted‚ ‘Consciousness‚ however small‚ is an illegitimate birth in any philosophy that starts without it‚ and yet professes to explain all facts by continuous evolution.’ So if someone assumes that newborn babies are conscious in some sense at birth‚ then it is possible to account for subsequent changes of consciousness. Newborn babies experience minimal consciousness which is the simplest‚ but still conceptually coherent‚ type of consciousness that counts for the behavioral evidence

After reading Tracks by Louise Erdrich‚ it is apparent that female power‚ besides religion and love‚ is one of the most important themes in this well written novel about native american tribes that have to give up their land and adapt to the white society. The writer uses Fleur Pillager to express these female powers through her character. While Fleur had always had these powers‚ Pauline turns towards god to seek power from him. Erdrich uses magic realism when she implies that Fleur has special

Tracks - Louise Erdrich In Louise Erdrich’s “Tracks”‚ I discovered by the second chapter that there are two narrators‚ Nanapush and Pauline.

She in fact is the protagonist of “Tracks”. Fleur is mentioned in every chapter

Du Bois have had a significant influence on important theories and ideas developed in the Social Sciences. Perhaps two of the most relevant and well-known concepts developed by both of these theorists are the concepts of “double consciousness” and “the stranger”. In this paper I will be analyzing both of these pieces of work to draw upon differences and similarities between the two. The similarities I will be elaborating on are the usage of the paradoxical figure‚ which both Simmel and Du Bois discuss

different levels of consciousness? Consciousness is "the state or quality of awareness you have of your surroundings both internally and externally‚ and the understanding of what is happening to you." However‚ that is not anything I had considered previously‚ but it was just taken for granted.

Twelfth Night: Two Faces‚ One Mind As in most comedies‚ William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night extensively uses disguises‚ masks and mistaken identities to add to the comical nature of the play. Viola’s disguise as Orsino’s page‚ Cesario‚ becomes crucial to the action in the play. Without this important element‚ the action in the play would slow down dramatically‚ making the story much less intriguing. In addition to making the play less interesting‚ the disguise is also necessary to develop the
