Why does Hamlet refer to Rosencrantz as a sponge

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In Hamlet, Rosencrantz is referred to as a "sponge" because he has soaked up all the benefits of Claudius's authority. In saying this, Hamlet wants his friend to know that he doesn't trust him and that he regards him as just another one of Claudius's lackeys.

What ideas was Hobbes wrestling with? What were his major influences? In what ways did science and religion influence these ideas?

Answers

Thomas Hobbes is rightly regarded as a monumental figure in the history of philosophy, especially for his masterpiece Leviathan (1651 in English; 1668 in Latin). The scholarly literature on Leviathan is voluminous and has been especially focused upon issues in political philosophy, such as representation and authorization, sovereignty and absolutism, contracts and covenants, and the relationship of civil authority to religion, among others. Since its printing the portrayal in Leviathan XIII of humans in their natural state—an existence that is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”—has struck the imagination of many of Hobbes’ readers, leaving many seeing Hobbes as pessimistic at best or hopelessly unrealistic at worst.

In Hobbes’ own time, however, he was also well-known, even if sometimes ridiculed, for his views in mathematics, natural philosophy, and optics. In A Minute or First Draught of the Optiques (1646), Hobbes’ own assessment of his work is laudatory:

…I shall deserve the Reputation of having been the first to lay the ground of two Sciences, this of Opticques, the most curious, and that other of natural Justice, which I have done in my book de Cive, the most profitable of all other. (Hobbes 1646 [1983: 622])

Although some contemporaries saw promise in Hobbes’ optics, such as Mersenne, who published Hobbes’ work in this area in 1644 in Ballistica, in the years following the publication of Leviathan Hobbes’ pursuits apart from political philosophy were taken less seriously. There are a number of possible explanations for this decline in the opinion of Hobbes’ competence in these areas, including his numerous attempts to square the circle, the association of his views with atheism by many critics, and the conflicts he had with Robert Boyle at the time of the rise of experimental philosophy. These all contributed to some extent to Hobbes’ exclusion from the Royal Society when it was founded.

If Hobbes’ mathematical and natural-philosophical endeavors failed to be taken seriously by his contemporaries near the end of his life, what purpose is served by understanding these failed attempts?[1] Apart from interest in them on their own terms as episodes in the history of science and philosophy, there are several reasons why we may find these areas of Hobbes’ thought valuable for study. First, Hobbes himself understood his political philosophy, or as he called it “civil philosophy”, to be a science capable of demonstration. Thus, understanding his general views about the nature of scientific demonstration promises to shed light on the way in which he saw civil philosophy as scientific. Second, Hobbes understood natural-philosophical explanations in physics as needing to make use of mathematical principles to count, as he says, as “true physics”. This may seem like a banal claim to a twenty-first century reader, but it was not so to many in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Hobbes’ natural philosophy thus situates him within the shift from qualitative to quantitative physics. Third, Hobbes’ conflicts with the Royal Society show us not only his views of the role of experimentation but also contextualize the rise of experimentalism. After discussing Hobbes’ criteria for scientific knowledge, this entry will address each of these three areas. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

oi oi oi oi Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.

The strangers leaped out of their boats and pulled them up on the small beach. By signs, they made it clear the castaways should climb aboard.

The fishermen exchanged frightened glances and whispered to one another,

“What about Denzo and Jusuke?”

Gesturing, Manjiro communicated to the strangers about the two men in the cave. Denzo and Jusuke were retrieved, both of them so weak they had to be carried to the boats. Everyone found a place and the sailors shoved off. The two boats rowed away from the island toward an unknown future.

The sun flickered on the restless waves just as it always did. The wind blew just as steadily as it always had. Yet everything had changed. They had been rescued from the island, only to be taken captive by barbarians.

Manjiro stared at the strangers when he thought they weren’t looking. Sometimes he caught them staring at him when they thought he wasn’t looking.

What do the details in this excerpt help readers to infer about the barbarians?

They are just as mean and monstrous as the fishermen expect them to be.
They are suspicious creatures who seem to be from a place other than Earth.
They have a plan to humiliate the fishermen and are waiting for the right time.
They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Chemical energy is the energy stored in chemical compounds' bonds (atoms and molecules). Chemical energy is emitted in the form of heat during a chemical reaction. We use chemical energy in fuels such as wood and coal by burning them.

The energy carried by moving electrons in an electric conductor is known as electrical energy. It is one of the most widely used and beneficial kind of energy. Lightning is an example. Electrical energy can also be converted from other forms of energy. Power plants, for example, convert chemical energy held in fuels like coal into electricity through a series of transformations.

The energy a substance or system has as a result of its motion is known as mechanical energy. Machines, for example, work with mechanical energy.

01. Jefferson worried about his birds.
2. Jefferson was charmed by his birds. .
3. Jefferson took his birds everywhere.
4. Jefferson was responsible for his birds.

Answers

Answer: Jefferson was charmed by his birds.

Explanation:

The same meaning of "Jefferson was so taken with his birds." is that Jefferson was charmed by his birds. This simply means that Jefferson was really attracted and pleased with the birds.

Being worried or taking the birds everywhere doesn't give the same meaning as taken with the birds. Therefore, the correct option is B.
