Santyana's writings call repeated attention to the ultimate significance which form possesses for experience in giving meaning and value to our activities. Unless a man is interested in the characters which things have or might have, he can hardly be said to live at all, in any morally significant sense. One strain of Santyana's thought, consists of a combination of materialism in metaphysics, humanism in morals, and realistic methodology in the theory of knowledge. These doctrine receive dominate expression in the works of the middle period, especially in his book (The life of Reason). In this essay we will try to illustrate Santyana's materialism tendency, especially in the book (The life of Reason), and we will try to prove that his materialism was not of the myopic sort which believes that the material existence were the sole reality.

This research aims at studying the Positivist ideas in George Eliot‟s The Mill on the Floss. The introduction talks about the Positivist theory and its founder August Comte. The theory puts science as a basis for any discussion or analysis. Comte thinks that man must have an object or a subject to love and respect, so he asks to substitute the idea of Deity with the idea of humanity as a whole unity including all men and women in all ages who work to serve society and achieve good morals.
This article re-interprets George Lamming’s theorization and presentation of language as a strategy of resistance in light of investigating the notion of the commodified self. In particular, Lamming’s Season of Adventure can be addressed as a narra tive of rebellious self-purchase that construes language as a medium of historical dissent to the imposed debt of colonial history. Language in Season of Adventure is shaped by revision as it retraces both the genealogy of the individual and the past of a nation. Arguably, such a revisionary conception of language ultimately projects an alternative genealogy of opposition. In this respect, both the thematic and narrative structure of Season of Adventure transcends the European debt of history and presents a textual counter-discourse that articulates a historiography of resistance. Recent theories on the logic of debt and Lamming’s strategies of linguistic resistance featured in his non-fiction writings are central to the premise of this reading of Season of Adventure.
This study seeks to clarify how Bernard Shaw in his play, Pygmalion, modifies and modernizes Charles Perrault‘s Cinderella. In this play, Shaw presents his heroine not only as a romantic heroine, but also as an emerging feminist unwilling to settl e for anything less than she deserves. Shaw modifies Charles Perrault‘s Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper to reflect the current aspirations of feminism. The inclusion of mythic romantic elements throughout the play set the stage for a classic fairy tale ending denied by Eliza Doolittle‘s ideals and Henry Higgins‘s selfishness. Shaw presents the character of Eliza with feminist ideals and shows a realistic interpretation of what happened after Cinderella‘s transformation when she no longer wished to submit to the Prince.
Could Buddhism really comptete Marxism in its material tendency? This would be the point of focus of this piece of research through a comparative study between Buddhism and Marxism in the light of the viewpoint of each of them toward materialism an d such relevant issues as the cosmos, God, religion, consciousness, dialectics….etc. therefore, we shall endeavor basically to prove that Buddhism was not---- as is believed ---- a philosophical spiritual school, quite contrastively, it was a realistically dynamic materialistic school. If we could strike this point, Buddhism would be in the same domain as Marxism. This is so if we did not consider them two cumulative school. Needless to say that a few discrepancies whether relating to methodological or to the change of the spaciotemporal or social change have been closely scrutinized.
In this paper, we study the gravitational field generated by a material straight line around itself. We show the simplicity of the studied field, and we show its relation with the arc of half circle. We discussed also the subject of attracting two spacious straight lines, and we show the absence of relation between the mutual force and the distance. Also we study the field generated by a ray, where we present the different formulas for this field, and we show its geometrics properties, and its relation to a circular arc sees through it. Also studied the previous field lines, and we show that it are parabolas, and we appear by different ways that the equivalent surfaces are parabolic surfaces of revolution.
