Religious Experience
[ send me this essay ]
The challenge in defining the religious experience is in placing the role of a Supreme Personal Being. Traditional religions continue to meet the needs of a majority of the population, while the alternative views have gained credence over time. The existence of a supreme being, or 'God' is essential to the moral and ethical belief systems found most commonly. This 5 page paper argues that religious experience can also be defined outside the bounds of a Supreme Personal Being. Ann Besant, a seventeenth century philosopher sets an example for the realization of a strong religious experience that grows out of a belief in a Supreme Being into a religious experience based on secular humanism. The philosophers Kant and Kierkegard also addressed the issue of a belief, and, or, experience with a Supreme Being as non-essential to deep religious conviction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Rousseau’s "The Social Contract" as it Applies to Slavery
[ send me this essay ]
16 pages in length. "The Social Contract", on the text that all men are born free and equal, regards the State as a contract in which individuals surrender none of their natural rights, but rather agree for the protection of them. Most remarkable in this projected republic was the provision to banish aliens to the state religion and to punish dissenters with death. The Social Contract became the textbook of the French Revolution, and Rousseau's theories as protests bore fruit in the frenzied bloody orgies of the Commune as well as in the rejuvenation of France and the history of the entire Western world.
