What is his masterpiece?

I was really into F. de Saussure; but now I'm getting into Bakhtin, you know. His propositions on language, philosophy, society, culture... are pretty factual.

He's a marxist thinker, which is good.

What do you tell us about him? Pls, now copy sth from Wikpedia or ... say what you know, if you know; and if you really know what you know.

Tnx

When is the time to fight back?
When do you say You're fed up or don't want to be a human doormat?
When is it time to move and do something?

Death is so final and you have to rely on your personal beliefs. Do you think you'll see them again?

if you're madly in love with someone, and loving him/her causes so much pain that you cant take...
you have only one choice that makes you stop loving him/her, and this choice is hatred..let's say that hatred is in a box that's next to you, and if you open that box you will hate the person..would you stop loving him/her by hatred?

It is for a paper I have to write. I need to find a philosopher of art to compare and contrast to one of Plato's 3 criticisms of art. The philosopher chosen has to be relavent to the argument and Plato.

I cannot use the following philosophers: Hume, Kant, Isenberg, Collingwood, Danto, Aristotle or Nietzsche.

This is my first philosophy class and I am not very good at it. Please provide the philosopher and his/her work that you are refering to. Thanks.

I just started learning Derivation in my Intro to Deductive Logic class and i was wondering if there is a relation between truth trees, truth tables, sentence derivations and truth functionality, consistency, inconsitency and so on. Are the three (tables, trees, and derivations) related somehow? If so, what does one tell you about the other, if anything?

Thanks alot

I have experience of doing this myself that I found very intense, as I could not help thinking – what people think about it? But there is a limit regarding amount of money involved after which everything become ok by everyone. Would you for example pick up a penny from ground, or would you only consider ten or twenty pence coin, or may be not. If not then will a brand new shining mint of a pound will do the magic. Or may be you are into currency notes. Whenever I, if ever, see a precious currency note lying on the ground, I find the glimpse as subtle as the sight of the skin of a snake lying in the grass; the only difference being I am more likely jump away from the later and jump at the former.

Or may be you are the one who would never do any such thing at any cost - a penny for your thoughts?

"...power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political, and economic change."

-Martin Luther King, Jr. in "Where Do We Go From Here?" Annual Report Delivered at the 11th Convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on August 16, 1967, in Atlanta, Georgia

For the whole speech see http://www.stanford.edu/group/king/publi...
For excerpts only see http://www.peaceworkmagazine.org/pwork/0...

I suppose this inquiry might be viewed by some as a "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" question. I believe, however, that it encompasses something more in our contemporary world where power is often fragmented and too often requires the generation of enormous sums of capital to achieve the momentum necessary for success and to achieve the desired effects.

Any comment and elaboration upon these themes would be appreciated.
