Conducting 'Business by the Book'
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the superiority of Christian ethics and values in operation of daily business over that of either pure Jewish or Platonic principles. The Christian view is one that holds forgiveness in higher esteem either than Jewish or Platonic tradition, and is one that is more flexible than Jewish law or Plato's lengthy and sometimes circuitous rhetoric. Today's business is too fast-moving and straightforward to make full use of either historical law or extensive rhetoric. Christianity's emphasis on personal responsibility without condemnation of others and exhortation to coexist in peace with others also is a requirement of successful business today Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Plato's Theory of Forms & Wittgenstein's 'Notion of Truth'
[ send me this paper ]
Plato's Theory of Forms outlined in a number of his dialogues including 'The Republic' and 'Parmenides,' is based in the perception of knowledge and the limitations of the senses. Plato recognized that man is limited by his sensory perception in an understanding of the natural of the world around him, and as a result, proposed the Theory of Forms in its initial sense to reflect a more complete understanding of the essential nature of the world based outside of the sensory and in the rational. Wittgenstein, in 'Notion of Truth' also considers the comparison between the actual and the perceived, and evaluates truth both as a component of basic understanding and an element directly correlated to the physical world. This 6 page paper reflects these concepts and provides support for components of both philosophers' arguments through the texts they created. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
