Joseph Conrad wrote his novel “Heart of Darkness” in 1902. It is about lots of things: river boating, trade, exploration, seafaring, imperialism and colonialism, relations between races, an attempt to reveal the sense of life by exploring hidden mysteries of the world. We read this novel and we have more perspectives we can look at it, then its first readers, since are able to realize the race and self-government issues, which that audience was not – we live in the other world, with different maps and different political and cultural aspects.

Joseph Conrad “The Heart of Darkness” is a narrative, and is told by an unnamed and not defined speaker. He is one of a group of traveler, former sailors that now are around forty years old and are ready for adventures on the yacht starting from London, England.

Half of all wars in the world history were started by religious backgrounds, and peace was always their hope for an end. In this essay, I would like to discuss what Gandhi, as the major eastern religious philosopher, would have said about Iraq war and it’s just cause.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is a modern example of an exemplary Hindu. Gandhi beliefs are not very typical of all Hindus, but still he is referenced as the starter of a major movement in modern Hinduism. Of all the Hindu scriptures, Gandhi’s favorite was the Bhagavad Gita. It is a story, consisting of a conversation between Arjuna, a prince and member of the warrior caste, and Krishna, an incarnation of the supreme God.

Genesis book is one of the most enjoyable Bible book in Old Testament, full of memorable stories of people and events. It is a crucial book to know and to start reading for the rest of the Bible, because it’s often refers back to it.

“The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” (Genesis 2) After showing cosmic view in Chapter 1, Genesis 2 repeats the story of creation, this time narrowing the focus to human beings. “We alone, of all God’s works are made in God’s image” (Genesis 1:26).

Dr. Howard Gardner Theory of Multiple Intelligences presented in his book “Frames of Mind”. Before this theory, it was easy to measure intelligence with just one number on IQ test. Anybody could take an intelligence test IQ, which would be an objective proof of his intelligence for everybody else including employers and colleges. Dr. Howard Gardner graduated from Harvard University in Psycology major, he questioned intelligence as being that empirical. He suggested that intelligence can’t be measured by IQ test only. It’s combination of factors that represent separate entities, which do not stand close to each other. Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences theory rose the debate on intelligence IQ test.

Existentialism spread rapidly all over the Europe after the World War I and later became popular in the rest of the world. Existentialism defenition is the movement of idea coming from the immediacy of the problems of life. I think that it is all about the analysis of the condition of man, of the specific state of being free, and also of one’s need for using his or her freedom to answer the challenges of the present day. The Existentialists say that the starting point of every philosophical argument is concrete human existence – the human character in itself, the ego of the human being. In our times, Existentialism took atheistic side and became more about concrete existence rather than traditional metaphysics.

The acute analysis, to which Existentialism has subjected the human person, reveals one undeniable fact: the weakness of man, who is burdened by the most galling contradictions.
