Some Actual Solutions in the Humanities - Revised and Expanded

Essays in Philosophy, Religious History, Literature, and Linguistics

Charles Turek

Some Actual Solutions in the Humanities contains solutions to interesting common problems within the fields of philosophy, religious history, literature, and linguistics. The author explores questions that arise within the study of humanities including the derivation and semantics of "there are" sentences, which he breaks down into five basic non-syllogistic sentences. He also examines questions that arise within the topics of Aristotelian Metaphysics, the Red Sea Crossing, and the scientific method in linguistics and literature. Several questions that arise from Hamlet also receive distinct and thorough investigation.
