The document discusses the benefits and proper ways of studying and reading. It outlines that study is beneficial for delight, ornamentation, and developing ability. Too much study can make one lazy or pretentious. Study strengthens inherent abilities and life experiences supplement education. Reading should be done to analyze facts rationally rather than to aggressively refute others or take authors' views blindly. Different books should be read for different purposes, like some for guidance and others wholly. Studying history, poetry, mathematics and philosophy each provide unique benefits like wisdom, wit, logical sense, and moral values. Overall, study influences manners and can cure mental illnesses, and each mind defect may be addressed through focused study in certain areas like law or philosophy
Francis Bacon discusses the purposes and benefits of different types of study. He notes that study enhances delight, ornamentation, and ability. Private study provides delight and relaxation while discourse aids ornamentation. Judgment and disposition of business require ability developed through study. Different subjects like history, poetry, mathematics and philosophy develop distinct aspects of one's character and intellect. However, study must be balanced with experience and not become an affectation or substitute for wisdom. The aims of reading include analysis and consideration, not confirmation of preconceived notions or idle discussion. Books require differing levels of engagement based on content and importance. Ultimately, studies should influence one's manners and character, and develop strengths or remedy weaknesses.
This document discusses the uses and benefits of studies and learning. It states that studies can be used for delight, ornamentation, and ability. Studies perfect nature and are perfected by experience. While studies teach their own uses, the wisest men use observation to gain wisdom beyond just studies. The document recommends reading to weigh and consider, rather than to contradict or take at face value. It also suggests that certain studies and exercises can help strengthen weaknesses of the mind, just as physical exercises help strengthen weaknesses of the body.
Francis Bacon's essay discusses the value and proper use of studies. It makes three key points:
1) Studies should be used to gain competence and proficiency, not just for entertainment or to impress others. True learning comes from applying knowledge, not just accumulating it.
2) Both studies and experience are necessary for learning - studies provide direction but must be bounded by real-world experience. Too much of either alone is insufficient.
3) Different types of reading and study are appropriate for different materials, from superficial reading to in-depth analysis, and study strengthens various skills and remedies weaknesses when applied properly to the individual.

Study for delight for ornament and for abilityOsama Jehangir
This document discusses the different purposes of study according to Francis Bacon: for delight, ornament, and ability. It notes that Bacon was an English writer and statesman in the 16th-17th century. Some study for delight and relaxation, to sharpen their intellect. Others study for ornament to appear knowledgeable to others. However, the true benefit is for those who study to gain an ability, such as being able to implement and practice what they've learned.
Francis Bacon's essay "Of Studies" discusses the proper uses of study and knowledge. It argues that studies should be used for delight in private, ornament in conversation, and ability in business. Too much study can lead to laziness, while emphasizing knowledge only for appearances makes one affected. True wisdom comes from both studies and experience. The essay also provides guidance on how different types of reading, writing, and discussion can improve the mind in different ways, and recommends certain areas of study for addressing intellectual weaknesses.
Bacon discusses the purposes and proper uses of studies. Studies serve for delight, ornament, and ability. They delight in private reflection, ornament discourse, and build ability in judgment and business. Too much study leads to sloth, too much for ornament is empty affectation, and relying solely on their rules ignores wisdom from experience. Studies teach their application, not as an end in themselves. They should be read to weigh ideas rather than confirm existing views or find topics for conversation. Some books provide snippets of insight, others require full consideration, while a few deserve thorough digestion. Reading makes one knowledgeable, discussion prepares one to converse, and writing hones exactness. A little of each leaves one lacking without cunning to compensate.

This article discusses how understanding personality types, specifically introversion and extroversion, can help writing tutors improve their sessions. The authors argue tutors should first assess their own personality type using theories like the Myers-Briggs test. Knowing if a student is introverted or extroverted allows tutors to tailor their approach to make the student more comfortable. For example, introverted students may need more time to process information internally. The authors believe understanding personality types can help tutors avoid awkward silences and get students to relax and enjoy writing more.

"If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities." Voltaire
"He is a philosopher who tramples underfoot prejudices, tradition, antiquity, universal
assent, authority, in a word, everything that overawes the mass of minds, who dares to think
for himself, to go back to the clearest general principles, examine them, discuss them, admit
nothing save on the testimony of his experience and reasoning." Diderot
"Why stay we on the earth unless to grow?" Robert Browning
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke
“Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a
beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for
it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim.” Elie Wiesel
“Cowardice asks the question, `Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, `Is it
politic?’And Vanity comes along and asks the question, `Is it popular?’ But Conscience
asks the question `Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that
is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it
is right.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to ethics and ethical reasoning. We will spend most of the
course getting acquainted with the definition and meaning of ethics, and seek in many
ways to transcend conventional views to produce a broader and deeper definition and
understanding of ethics that places it at the center of a meaningful, responsible, and
compassionate life. We will examine key ethical issues, explore major philosophers’
ideas, and examine a number of core ethical traditions. The course aims not only to
explain what ethics is, as a historical and philosophical matter, but also how to do it, as a
reasoned practice relevant to contemporary society and to the quality of one’s own
existence.
After the main focus on ethical theory, we devote the last part of the course to applied
ethics, specifically to the topics of animal rights, ethical veganism, and environmental
ethics. These profound issues surfaced in the last four decades to become major new
fields of inquiry and to pose powerful challenges to Western dogmas and humanist
traditions with their violent and destructive power pathologies. I chose these issues
because: (1) they strongly relate to a key course goal to produce a more comprehensive
and expansive concept of ethics than given by the Western tradition; (2) they are
controversial,.
