Document Summary

The greek notion of the soul: the soul had close connections to ideas about life: to be ensouled was simply to be alive, soul was not assumed to be immaterial or immortal. It was taken for granted that there were living things and non-living things. Therefore there was no question that the soul existed. It was merely the question of what was the soul. Aristotle s view on the soul was similar to modern idea of mind, soul the form of the body. For aristotle all living things (including plants & animals) have souls. To study the soul was primarily to study the capacities and characteristic activities of living things (e. x. nutrition, reproduction, movement, sense perception, (human) thought). The relationship between soul and body is a special case of the relationship between form and matter, the soul is the form of the body.

Intrinsic value vs. Instrumental Value

Philosophy Question: Is wisdom (philosophy) something you value most, which you consider most vital to living a good life?

Is wisdom something mostly intrinsically valuable and so desired solely for its own sake? Or is wisdom also instrumentally valuable and so desired also for the sake of something else you desire/want? If so, what?

Instrumental Value

You value most things instrumentally, that is, as a means to some end. Usually, this is obvious and trivial. For instance, you value a washing machine that works—purely for its useful function, or instrumental value.

Intrinsic Value

There are two notions of intrinsic value. It can be:

  • Valuable in itself
  • Valued by someone for its own sake

If something has intrinsic value in the first sense, this means that the universe is somehow a better place for that thing to exist or occur.

QUESTION At the completion of one full cycle, find thefollowing...

(a) Net work done by the system.

Answer: 300 kJ (solved it like the area of a triangle)

(b) The net change in internal energy of the system.

Answer: ? kJ

(c) The net heat absorbed by the system.

Answer: ? kJ

NOTE: I know the relationship between the three is dU=Q-W, wheredU is change in energy, Q is heat, and W is work, so I need helpfinding only one of the unknown variables and I can figure it outfrom there! Thanks!
