The ethics of Hercules : A study of man's body as the sole determinant of ethical values - Unveiling the nexus of physicality and ethical philosophy

Robert Chenault Givler

Summary

In "The Ethics of Hercules: A Study of Man's Body as the Sole Determinant of Ethical Values," Robert Chenault Givler explores the intersection of physicality and morality, positing that the human body serves as the foundational determinant of ethical frameworks. Givler's literary style is both incisive and evocative, intertwining philosophical discourse with rich metaphorical language, drawing upon the ancient myth of Hercules to illustrate his arguments. By contextualizing ethical concepts through a corporeal lens, Givler challenges traditional moral philosophy, inviting readers to reconsider the implications of bodily existence in ethical decision-making. Robert Chenault Givler, an accomplished philosopher influenced by existentialist thought and classical literature, delves deep into the complexities of ethics and morality. His background as both a scholar and a practitioner of philosophy led him to question the abstract nature of ethical constructs, prompting a return to the tangible essence of humanity and its physical expressions. Givler's scholarly pursuits are underscored by a profound commitment to understanding how our corporeal experiences inform our moral judgments. This thought-provoking text is recommended for any reader intrigued by philosophy, ethics, or the human condition. Givler's nuanced exploration of the body as a determinant of values will resonate with those seeking to engage critically with the complex interplay between physicality and moral reasoning. It is a vital contribution to contemporary philosophical discourse, inviting readers to reexamine their ethical principles through a refreshing and grounded perspective.

For decades science fiction writers have amazed us and terrorized us with their portrayal of the world of robots. The coming army of super artificially intelligent machines that will help us or hinder us. From the crazy daleks of Dr Who to the funny and human like androids of Star Trek, everything has been imagined.

Today we are living in that future age of robots and artificial intelligence. Today all those dreams of the past are coming true. Around the world scientists, engineers and software creators are bringing to life the fantasy world of the films.

Mechanical robots will soon be outdated with biologically created humanoids implanted with artificial intelligence and connected to each other across the globe. They will self-repair, gather energy from the sun and live forever. They will be all-knowing and all-powerful like Gods that will walk the earth.

And all the time we humans are blindly following. We are walking away from millions of years as beings of a natural world into something so unnatural that even the science fiction writers will be amazed. This future world is now inevitable and cannot be stopped. We have no choice but to be part of it and so we had better be armed with knowledge inorder to be better prepared for the circumstances. The greatest brains on earth today have warned us about the consequences of getting this new technology wrong. They have predicted catastrophe. Prepare to meet your future now.

Meiji Era - Modernization...

Rolf Hedger

The Tokugawa Shogunate, which had ruled Japan for over two centuries, faced a gradual but inevitable decline in the mid-19th century. Although the regime had maintained stability and peace through strict social hierarchy and isolationist policies, internal weaknesses and external pressures ultimately led to its downfall. The combination of economic struggles, social unrest, and increasing foreign intervention exposed the shogunate’s vulnerabilities, setting the stage for a dramatic political transformation. 
One of the major factors behind the decline was Japan’s rigid economic system. The Tokugawa rulers relied heavily on a feudal structure in which the daimyo, or regional lords, maintained their own domains under the authority of the shogun. However, the economy began to shift from an agrarian-based system to one influenced by commerce and trade. The samurai class, who traditionally depended on fixed stipends from their lords, found themselves in financial hardship as inflation and economic instability grew. Meanwhile, wealthy merchants gained power, disrupting the established social order and creating tensions between classes. 
In addition to economic issues, political dissatisfaction increased within Japan. Many daimyo and samurai resented the centralized control of the shogunate, believing it had become ineffective in governing the country. Corruption and inefficiency within the government further weakened public trust. While some reform-minded leaders proposed changes, the rigid nature of the Tokugawa system made meaningful reform difficult to achieve. This frustration contributed to the rise of movements advocating for a return to imperial rule under Emperor Meiji.

Roman Innovations - Engineering...

Rogan Fish

Roman engineering formed the bedrock upon which the Roman Empire’s power and prosperity were built. The Romans, known for their advanced construction techniques, utilized a deep understanding of engineering principles to create infrastructure that stood the test of time. The strategic use of roads, bridges, and construction materials allowed them to expand and maintain control over their vast empire. Roman innovations not only provided practical solutions to everyday challenges but also played a pivotal role in shaping the empire’s military, economic, and social systems.
The Romans’ extensive network of roads was one of the cornerstones of their engineering achievements. Roads connected distant regions of the empire, facilitating trade, communication, and the rapid movement of the Roman military. These roads were engineered with precision, employing layers of different materials to ensure durability and effectiveness in various terrains. The roads, often straight and well-maintained, allowed the Roman legions to travel efficiently and helped bind together the sprawling empire.
Roman construction materials were key to their engineering marvels. One of the most significant Roman innovations was the development of concrete, a material that enabled the Romans to build large, durable structures such as aqueducts, bridges, and amphitheaters. Roman concrete, made from a mixture of volcanic ash, lime, and seawater, was stronger and more water-resistant than earlier forms of concrete. This breakthrough allowed for the creation of monumental structures, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, that could withstand the test of time and the elements.
