Protagoras [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]

http://www.iep.utm.edu/p/protagor.htm

Extractions: Protagoras (c. 490 - c. 420 BCE) Protagoras of Abdera was one of several fifth century Greek thinkers (including also Gorgias, Hippias, and Prodicus) collectively known as the Older Sophists, a group of traveling teachers or intellectuals who were experts in rhetoric (the science of oratory) and related subjects. Protagoras is known primarily for three claims (1) that man is the measure of all things (which is often interpreted as a sort of radical relativism) (2) that he could make the "worse (or weaker) argument appear the better (or stronger)" and (3) that one could not tell if the gods existed or not. While some ancient sources claim that these positions led to his having been tried for impiety in Athens and his books burned, these stories may well have been later legends. Protagoras' notion that judgments and knowledge are in some way relative to the person judging or knowing has been very influential, and is still widely discussed in contemporary philosophy.

Philosophy And Art

http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/spirkin/works/dialectical-materialism/

Extractions: Dialectical Materialism (A. Spirkin) Prev Chapter 1. Philosophy As A World-View And A Methodology Next Philosophy, science and art differ principally according to their subject-matter and also the means by which they reflect, transform and express it. In a certain sense, art, like philosophy, reflects reality in its relation to man, and depicts man, his spiritual world, and the relations between individuals in their interaction with the world. No scientifically, let alone artistically, thinking person can remain deaf to the wise voice of true philosophy, can fail to study it as a vitally necessary sphere of culture, as the source of world-view and method. Equally true is the fact that no thinking and emotionally developed person can remain indifferent to literature, poetry, music, painting, sculpture and architecture. Obviously, one may be to some extent indifferent to some highly specialised science, but it is impossible to live an intellectually full life if one rejects philosophy and art. The person who is indifferent to these spheres deliberately condemns himself to a depressing narrowness of outlook. Does not the artistic principle in philosophical thought deserve the attention of, and do credit to, the thinking mind, and vice versa? In a certain generalised sense the true philosopher is like the poet. He, too, must possess the aesthetic gift of free associative thinking in integral images. And in general one cannot achieve true perfection of creative thought in any field without developing the ability to perceive reality from the aesthetic standpoint. Without this precious intellectual prism through which people view the world everything that goes beyond the empirical description of facts, beyond formulae and graphs may look dim and indistinct.

The piece is thoroughly apologetic and itemizes each instance. It follows on the heels of the firing of Elizabeth Nickson from the National Post over a similar offense. Sibley, who was on the paper's Editorial Board, has now been "reassigned" within the Citizen. The article begins, "After 25 years in journalism as a reporter, editor, feature writer, essayist, columnist and editorial writer, it is with deep regret that I inform colleagues and readers of mistakes of attribution in some of my recent work."

Extractions: Communication As the oldest of human intellectual pursuits, philosophy is devoted to examining fundamental questions that may reflect nearly everything as everything can be philosophically examined. Primary Branches of Philosophy: Within these basic branches, specializations such as bioethics, cosmology, or ontology are found. Philosophy is extremely fluid in how it can shed light on other disciplines and their respective topics of interest. Firstly, it is firmly placed in the humanities: Secondly, it interacts critically with other disciplines in both the humanities and the social sciences: As one of the Humanities, Philosophy is book-dependent, that is, it relies heavily on the use of books, (often called monographs). As you embark on your topic for your paper in philosophy, there are library resources that can help expedite your searching for pertinent and relevant materials. Major Philosophy Websites: Philosophy in Cyberspace This site offers a cornucopia of resources in philosophy.
