And here it is, students are taking things like Ritalin, Provigil, propanolol, amphetamines, etc. to improve their concentration and study performance. Is this 'brain doping' the same as regular 'athletic doping' or whatever it's called? Is it 'immoral', or is it barely distinguishable from taking the other drugs we already consume in large doses ...

For the first time in a long time i am posing a question to the forum. I have been reading this recently in the lead up to my return to university. The reason i send you here is that there is a free edition on the site from september 2008 that you can d/l in pdf the title question of which is 'what is law'. One of the articles is law vs justice, but he also toys very very briefly with morality vs justice. He basically says about half way through that justice and morality are ...

I was really bored at work and i started thinking about something that has bugged me ever since year ten. Limits. Just in case people don't know what i am on about: Limits in mathematics is the process by which the 'space' between one set of numbers and another set of numbers is so infinitely small that it is in fact, for all intents and purposes, 0. The perfect example is 9/9. 9/9 = 1, but it also equals 0.99999999999999999999999999 repeated infinitely. However, ...

This one comes from the same argument, yet another point that i don't necessarily agree with and would like to see your thoughts. The author states that he does not agree with a presumption of the historically famous social text Leviathon by Thomas Hobbes. Instead he takes the aristotelean view one step further, denouncing what hobbes called 'the state of nature' (stick with me i will ...
