I have heard it said and it seems to be true that love is an act more than an emotion. If this is true then you can love even those you despise with an act of good will. Do you think this is true and advisable?

I am trying to come up with some good topics for my senior honors thesisfor philosophy. I know in the end it is my decision but what do you think of these topics:

How secret societies have played a role in the development of modern political philosophy.

Why Plato's cave theory is correct.

Was there one central philosophy that all others were built upon?

That is all I have right now, but please feel free to add some ideas if you have one. I would like my emphasis to be on classical ideas, political philosophy, or philosophy of religion.

Thanks in advance.

I think this phrase may have a lot more to it than people give it credit for.
What are your ideas on "The Path of Least Resistance" and what does it mean to you?

This is a deep question and yet the answer is simple.It should go without saying that the context of this overturning was during antiquity, before Christ.In the event of a surprising answer about which I have no clue, that should accompany a proof.

Think about this! We have all (some more than others) imagined a better world (or life) where nothing sad or evil occurs.

Perhaps this is death. So when we think we die, we really are born into this beautiful world (or life)?

Size is relative; just answer subjectively.

Our distant ancestors did not understand the world in which they lived. They saw female animals giving birth, along with their own females, and probably concluded that the universe was 'born' out of a female God - the pagan Earth Godess. Later, as men took charge of society, Gods replaced, or were added to, the Earth Godess myth. Other cultures worshipped the Sun as the bringer of life. Still others developed strange variants of their own.

BUT, could an intelligent species bypass these tens-of-thousands of years of mythology and develop a purley scientific explanation of existence WITHOUT going through the 'religious age' first?

Can you offer a path of cultural development a species would need to take in order to reach, say, our own level of scientiic knowledge without having developed religon? A culture in which spirituality has ALWAYS been satisfied by science?

Or, is this process - religion first, then science later - the only logical path intelligent species can follow?
