Abstract
In this paper, these are the various similar and differing views of the nature of the soul, which provide insight into the views of Plato, Aristotle, and the New Testament Bible on immortality and the connection of the soul to physical properties. Aristotle does agree with the soul as being an immortal part of the human condition, but he does not agree with the premise that it is separate from the body, as does Plato and the Bible. In this construct, the exclusivity of the highest good or attainment of wisdom can only be attained through a disavowal of the body in Plato's understanding of the soul.

Abstract
This paper discusses Plato's and Aristotle's views on the human soul. The paper makes the basic argument that both philosophers had different positions on the mind-soul relationship, the characteristics of the soul and the origin of the soul. The only thing they agree on is that souls come from other souls.

From the Paper
"The human soul has been a common topic of debate for philosophers ever since philosophers have existed. Both Plato and Aristotle theorized about the human soul. In most cases they presented very different arguments on the nature of the human soul. However, there are also a few similarities between their arguments. This essay will look at the arguments that both Plato and Aristotle made about the human soul. The three areas in which these philosophers differ are in terms of the relationship between the body and the soul, the nature of the soul and the ultimate origin of the soul."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the logical problem with Tertullian's argument relies on the distinct separate existence of the Soul without any sympathetic connection to the human experience. The paper questions that if the soul is a collector and witness of human experience on Earth, how can it be as objective as Tertullian suggests when it carries this information to God after the death of the body? The paper asks that if the soul cannot 'lie' then how can it be affected by the demons that haunt the human condition since the beginning of existence?

Abstract
Through the ages, both Greek and Hindu societies have been greatly influenced by the idea of the immortality of the soul, affecting them in their daily lives and approach to death. This paper compares and contrasts both schools of thought and their loopholes and conflicting theories. It examines the writings of famous philosophers and religious texts and evaluates their application to modern day thought and religion.

From the Paper
"The very idea of immortality of the soul was not simply a theory but was widely believed among the Greeks in society. This would explain Socrates' unfazed and calm demeanor as he approached death in Phaedo. Now, this brings me to the point of linkage. All these concepts may have had a great impact on Greek society, but where exactly did these great minds find the "spark of inspiration" for their theories? Could it have been Hinduism or vice versa?"

Abstract
This paper describes the general overall differences in the ways in which Japanese and American society vary in their acceptance of personal ambition. The writer provides a definition of the concept of personal ambition and examines why it is easier to define this concept in the context of Japanese society than American society. It examines the relativity of this concept to these societies.

From the Paper
"The question of how ambition as a personality is expressed in two different cultures "for example, in the United States and in Japan" is a complex one for a number of reasons. The first is that any cultural entity as large as Japan or especially the United States is bound to have a tremendous amount of intracultural variation amongst people, so much so that the concept of the existence of a single dominant style of expressing a trait such as ambition must be called into question. This is especially true for a culture as diverse as is the United States; it is relatively easier to describe the expression of such a trait in a more homogeneous society like Japan or perhaps it only seems so from the perspective of the United States, for surely it is true that cultures always look simpler when seen from afar."

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of humanism in Christopher Marlowe's play "Doctor Faustus" and explains that the central focus of humanism is presented in the combination of Faustus' pride, arrogance and never-ending ambition. The paper points out that, because of Faustus' desire to be more powerful than any other man, he pursues the forbidden attainment of the black arts even though the consequences mean perishing in hell. The paper concludes that the text of Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus" clearly shows that wrongful pride always comes before a fall. Moreover, this character's fall is perpetual, horrifying damnation.

From the Paper
"The power of rule is too intoxicating as Faustus ignores the forbidden aspect of dabbling in black magic and through his Latin invocations, begins the process of turning away from the living God to take power instead from the dark god, Lucifer. His faith in this magic is so strong, he thinks he can even make demands of Mephistopheles. But this is Lucifer's agent and he lets the Doctor know that he himself is governed by the higher-ranking devil: "I am a servant to great Lucifer, / And may not follow thee without his leave." "

Abstract
Scene Twelve of "Dr. Faustus" is important as it premeditates the death of Faustus in the final scene. The paper shows that the audience might feel great sympathy for his despair and worry, but the contrast of the courageous old man and Faustus' praising of the Devil reminds them of the reasons for his downfall. The paper shows that this scene represents the symbolic hubris, passion and ambition of Faustus which has driven this man away from the virtues of godly worship and the security of his soul, and towards the illicit pleasures of the Faustian pact and the damnation of his soul.

From the Paper
"The penultimate scene of Dr Faustus is one of the most important in the play as we see Faustus both enjoying his illicit gains and despairing at the forthcoming damnation of his soul. It follows a chorus by Wagner, where he describes the drunken and self-indulgent behavior of Faustus. This demonstrates that Faustus is adhering to the demonic principles by which he has lived, and rejecting the pious Christian existence. At the beginning of scene twelve the reader is left wondering whether the drunken bravado of Faustus is sincere or hollow."
