For Zhuangzi, knowledge is relative to the perspectives we have of reality at the moment. This means that we will never know for sure whether what we know at the moment is real or not. It depends on our perspective. He explains this by showing how one day he dreamed that he was a butterfly, at the moment the dream is happening, his knowledge was limited to the butterfly's perspective, when he woke up, he realized that that perspective was not real, because now he had knowledge with his own perspective, however he could not confirm if they were real too, because he could be a butterfly, dreaming that he was a man, at that moment.
With that, Zhuangzi makes a connection with the myth of Plato's cave, showing that our perceptions and the feelings we feel about the environment in which we are inserted are not enough to make us sure of anything.
Answer:
The question is incomplete. The editorial cartoon image is lacking. Here is the image the question's referring to.
The details that best support the purpose of this editorial cartoon are:
- the "will work for air conditioning" sign
- the rat sweating on the sidewalk
- the comfortable man in the air-conditioned car
Explanation:
There are a number of details to consider in the editorial cartoon to understand its message. It includes the man holding the sign, the rat, and the man riding in an air-conditioned car.
But, if you look closely, Signe Wilkinson signed this on 7-6-2010 for the Philadelphia Daily News. It is better to know this date and place. But what is its importance? <em><u>During this time, the Philadelphia set a new record regarding heatwave. The temperature reached 103 degrees breaking the old record of 98 degrees in 1994. </u></em>
Climate change and global warming clearly affect people in the middle class or the working class who cannot afford to buy an air-conditioned car. And they are willing to work on breathing cold air. It also displays that not only humans are affected by a heatwave, but also animals, thus, the sweating rat.
<em><u>During this time, in 2010, people have died because of the heatwave. And the air conditioning business was booming because of in-demand repairs. </u></em>
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
The most likely meaning of metaphor in this sentence is that Amit's thoughts are confused and contradictory.
A Metaphor is the use of two contradictory words or ideas for the sake or purpose of emphasis. Examples are; all the world is a stage, John is a lion in the fields, Mary is a Chameleon, etc.
From the passage, the "river and the waves crashing" is metaphorical as it depicts Amit's feeling of confusion and disorder. Amit's wished Tamar never told him his secret as his thoughts are now in a state of clash and worry.
I think it's B because they valued imagination, individual feelings, and Nature more than Reason and logic
