 | | A welfare mother, screaming at New York mayor John Lindsay (responsible for much of the city's rise in welfare cases), expressed the system's new philosophy: "It's my job to have kids, Mr. | | | The War on Poverty had failed so far, the book claimed, not because of its flawed premises but because the government hadn't done enough to redistribute the nation's wealth. | | | But brushing aside the War on Poverty's failure and the success of so many in climbing America's economic ladder, this generation of authors dusts off the old argument for a new era. |

| | Jane-ism: a Social Philosophy |
| | To write these books, Jane Austen, like many of her heroines, had to overcome many hardships including gentile poverty, being a female in a man's world, the ostracism of her own society, and a low social ranking in the haute ton. | | | Through the exercises and active practice of the philosophies inherent to Jane-ism, one discovers a sense of accomplishment, a sense of achievment, a sense of wa, and a newfound happiness and joy that comes from the everyday practice of living. | | | She wrote novels praised world wide for their satirical presentation of the society she lived in as well as for their sparkling wit, well depicted characters, complex plotlines, as well as for their value as valid works of English literature. |

| | LANGUAGE, CULTURE, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY |
| | In this regard, it is very difficult to conjecture that any African linguist will accept the assertion by Makinde that, “Hence, the poverty of African languages has led to the poverty of scientific ideas and meaningful contributions to the development of philosophy, science and technology”. | | | “Philosophy” as a concept is no exception, as it is not unusual to expect that there would be variations in Makinde’s conception of philosophy and my conception of philosophy. | | | But then as a student of philosophy of science that he is, one expects him to be a little bit more venturesome and adventurous. |

| | Political philosophy is particularly related to such questions because it finds itself necessarily involved in the condition of the nations, in poverty, freedom, war, exchange, with the worthy condition of mankind. | | | Philosophy itself was the consideration of the whole, a whole that included the classics and even needed to consider the civilizations that do not claim to belong to the universal civilization. | | | This is the reason why death and political philosophy are intimately related as we recall in the trials of Socrates and Christ in which the state, with its power over life and death, seeks to use this power as an instrument of truth defined solely by the polity. |

| | The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, 1867–1893 |
| | Cohen labeled these three periods of modern American philosophy the theologic, the metaphysical, and the scientific. Though I question the adequacy of Cohens labels for these periods, he was certainly correct that American philosophy had become increasingly secular. | | | According to Cohens scheme, the three periods corresponded to three philosophical journals, the Journal of Speculative Philosophy (JSP), established in St. Louis in 1867, the Philosophical Review, established at Cornell University in 1892, and the Journal of Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Methods, which was founded at Columbia University in 1904. | | | Davidsons work with Russian immigrants like Cohen was an expression of the conception of philosophy he shared with his friends in St. Louis, according to which philosophy could serve as an antidote to suicide because it gave meaning to life. |

| | Critique of Hegel's Philosophy in General, Marx, 1844 |
| | Therefore, that which constitutes the essence of philosophy – the alienation of man who knows himself, or alienated science thinking itself - Hegel grasps as its essence; and in contradistinction to previous philosophy he is therefore able to combine its separate aspects, and to present his philosophy as the philosophy. | | | But atheism and communism are no flight, no abstraction, no loss of the objective world created by man – of man’s essential powers born to the realm of objectivity; they are not a returning in poverty to unnatural, primitive simplicity. | | | Hence my true religious existence is my existence in the philosophy of religion; my true political existence is my existence in the philosophy of law; my true natural existence, existence in the philosophy of nature; my true artistic existence, existence in the philosophy of art; my true human existence, my existence in philosophy. |

| | Philosophy or Christ - John MacArthur |
| | The thought of Paul is this: To return to philosophy would be to cast away the mature teaching of the Bible for the infantile poverty- stricken opinions of an immature religion drawing its being from this world and not God. | | | Philosophy is really the effort of man to determine the ultimate causes in the earth and the universe. | | | So there was a conglomeration of human philosophy, legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. |

| | Political philosophy is particularly related to such questions because it finds itself necessarily involved in the condition of the nations, in poverty, freedom, war, exchange, with the worthy condition of mankind. | | | In terms of political philosophy, this position would mean that even though political philosophy is the "queen" of the social sciences, the social sciences themselves, including political philosophy, are insufficient. | | | As justice is the political virtue, the virtue that orients us to others, to our proper relation to them, though not to their particular persons and characters, this means that political philosophy naturally and normally reaches what it cannot deal with in its own terms. |
