There are many. I just did a basic google search for: "Adam Smith" philosophy\nand The first site gave a lot of information about how he felt about workers, that they need to contribute their labor to benefit the state. Karl Marx's philosophies were very similar. Go ahead and do some basic searching of your own, and you'll have very little trouble with this assignment.

a HUGE impact. look at the da vinci code. even the author said it was completely fiction and people still took it seriously and started to question their ways of life and religion. or take the red book everyone carried in communist china. that little book ruled their lives (along with mao, but he was the author so it's all connected). there you go. it can change a person's whole point of view almost instantly

It is almost a paradox that Marx's earlier writings, from around 1840-50, were more prophetic than his later writings, such as Das Kapital, 1867.  These earlier writings are extremely well thought out and contain many of the theses by which Marx will begin to identify historical events as proof for what he thought.  In Das Kapital, of course, Marx believed that capitalism would quickly collapse under its own weight.  Perhaps he was rushing things a bit.\nHowever it was in the earlier writings where Marx perhaps learned from his anti-Hegelian stance.  nevertheless, he used the dialectic method of Hegel and would often say that hegel had things upside down.  He owed a lot to the great man who died in 1831, I think. \nThe early writings, the result of his outgrowing The Essence of Christianity's materialism (Feuerbach) talk about the efforts of the naturally alienated aristocracy to rid themselves of the middle class.  The middle class, no longer assured of survival, would then rise up and achieve control, turning government into a perfect democracy.  Marx uses the word "democracy" with great ease and equates it with his concept of communism.  This is interesting stuff, especially "The Poverty of Philosophy" in which he notes the limitations of philosophy to be able to make any real change! Also read "The Jewish Question."\nMarx's dream almost came about in the European revolutions of 1848.  It was that year that he published the Communist Manifesto with Engels.  (Somehow I doubt whether Engels wrote much of anything in this or later works for which he received credit, but I may be wrong.)\n\nHowever the revolution was put down, country by country and things settled down to pretty much the same way things had been, except that this was probably the early origins of various Europeans pushing each other around a bit.  \nMarx kept writing these idealized articles, centered around the recognition of equality of all peoples and the use in history of the Hegelian dialectic.  Marx was kicked out of Prussia, France and Belgium, I think, and went to England.  After 1850, Marx took a decidedly different turn: he began to use historical records to prove the truth of what he was espousing.  In writing Das Kapital, Marx put the final touches on all the historical reasons as to how and why Capitalism would collapse and the workers woud rise up in unison and share the wealth fairly for the first time.  Das Kapital is an exceedingly boring book except to scholars who have nothing else to do.  Marx essentially let his family starve in order to write it.  I seem to recall he even used the American Civil War as a precedent for the fall of capitalism.  He was much better at philosphical theory than he was at interpreting historical events.\nUltimately, one might say that Marx might be partially vindicated as we begin to have a one world economy.  As the United States exports more and more of its manufacturing and middle class jobs, the middle class is eroding at an alarming rate.  Marx believed that there was a limited supply of capital and he may have been right.  However if one views the Mexicans (et al) who come across the border to work as nothing much more than slave labor, that shows that the world has a bit more cheap labor it will exploit before the great revolution.\nIf there is one thing that Marx understood concerning economic principles, it was that the three parts of economics consisted of production, distribution and consumption.  It was Marx who pinpointed the crux of the difficulty in this as distribution.\nOne can say what one wants about his later explanations of history.. and he was clearly mistaken about so many instances he tried to use....those early writings are just as sharp and clear and on the mark as any philosophical writings since Hegel.

Well, if you consider the following people as having been enlightened you might consider doing what they did. ~ Jesus. He studied and practiced the Jewish faith. Buddha. He studied and practiced the Hindu faith. Lao Tse founded the Taoist faith after having achieved enlightenment so as to lead others in that direction, so you might study and practice Taoism. Or, if you want a path that is relatively straightforward and put in simple terms easily understood by modern day folk you might go to the following source. But whatever you do, if you decide to do anything, there is ONE thing you MUST do ... Follow your heart HONESTLY.

Huxley was already a respected writer when he volunteered to be a subject in experiments involving the effects of mescaline.  He wrote about this experience in his essay "The Doors of Perception".  Huxley came to believe that the human mind is not like a file cabinet filled with the things we know, but is instead like a filter that keeps out most of the perceptions of which we are capable.  He argued that the hallucinatory experience loosened that filter a bit, allowing us to perceive more of the infinite that is around us.  He related this to the experiences of religious mystics and visionary artists, saying that a similar "filter-loosening" happens in their minds, too.  The drug experience shaped how Huxley felt about our minds, knowledge, God, and many of the other subjects that he went on to write about.

It gets its name from Doctor Pangloss in Voltaire's Candide.  His belief was that all things happen for the best and that we live in the best of possible worlds.  Voltaire himself plainly doesn't believe this and events in the book contrive to prove otherwise.

There was no philosophy at this time, so he couldn't have any thoughts about it. If what he was doing can be of any importance to your question than he was teacher (called himself a transmitter), presenting ideas about training political leaders, creating (rather than transmitting!) set of ethical ideas oriented toward practice. I guess he wouldn't really like our philosophical tradition because of its "over-theorized" approach: praxis and the good life was his main focus.

Karl Marx ideas come from Historic Materialism, and dialectic, where the destiny of Humanity is already written, Emile Durkheim gave more chance to the free will of society to have an impact.

John Locke was an English philosopher who created the theory of natural rights. It's the thought that God gives each man the right to life, liberty, and property. "Property" was amended in the Declaration of Independence and changed to "the pursuit of happiness" (which was property at the time of the revolution).

Cher Monsieur,\nVous semblez considérer que l'anglais peut constituer une langue impérialiste et mondiale.\nIl me faut m'élever contre pareille conception.\nJe m'efforce, lorsque je me déplace dans un pays, de m'exprimer le mieux possible dans la langue des autochtones. Que donc ne choisissez-vous d'adopter la langue de Voltaire ?\nA bientôt, jeune freluquet coquinet !
