1. 1936 Proper Names.

The phenomenon associated with the mystery of the use of proper names has been debated by philosophers for over a century. Philosopher G. Frege provided one of the most profound theories to this problem in that he showed that senses, as well as references, played a vital role to our understanding of names. For J.S. Mill, a proper name was an essentially meaningless mark that people used in order to connect certain ideas and things in their minds. According to Mill, the function of proper names was not to get certain general information across to anyone, since names did not really carry any meaning in and of themselves. They were simply used to allow people to be make some kind of sense out of their conversation. 10 pgs. 11 f/c. 5b.

2. 2010 The Nature and Validity of Relativism.

3. 2011 An Argument from Relativity.

This paper makes an argument from relativism. A foundation argument of skepticism, relativism holds with no absolute moral truth but is dependent on an individual's or community's interpretation of a moral truth. A skeptic is one who believes that ethics is subjective. In other words, that certain moral principles are neither true nor false in and of themselves but simply have ascribed to them those properties according to taste and convenience. The argument from relativity takes as its premise that moral codes vary from society to society, time period to time period and also takes into account the differing moral beliefs between different classes and groups within a society. 3.5 pgs. 7 f/c. 3b.

4. 2033 Self - Formation & the Concept of self as inseparable from Communication.

A Philosophical Analysis.The following is a philosophical analysis of the concept of 'self-formation', and in turn, the relation to human communication. Examined in this paper, will be the specific notion as to whether such a 'thing' as a self exists, without a notion of a community or communication. What will be argued, is that the self, in-itself, is inseperable from language, and if one can understand the nature of one-self, then, one has access to the self through communication. Further, if there is no such thing as a private language, or a self-understanding which cannot be shared to some extent, then, the notion of the self has to be understood as communally determined. 7.5 pgs. 17 f/c. 4b.
