For Beethoven, the sonata form is not a scheme that can be used in caprice one day and abandoned the next. This form dominates everything he imagines and composes; it is the very mark of his creation and the form of his thought – an inherent form, a natural one. (Edwin Fischer, Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas). Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas constitute a great treasure that embodies a part of the human eternity. Numerous pianists and musicologists have researched or studied them, trying to

Chapter 1 Purpose Driven life “The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov It is in one’s best interest to discover the purpose for his existence.

When one ventures into creation of any machinery, the venture is such that the machine

The idea of a person or a person’s soul living on after death is shared by many religions. Where these religions differ is in what they believe happens after one’s death; there are even differing views about what happens within different denominations of the same religion.

Visiting the Soviet Union in 1932 was a disillusioning experience for Arthur Koestler. He was disenchanted by what the revolution had led to, but told what he called the “necessary lie”, continuing to support Stalin’s Soviet Union until it signed a peace treaty with the Nazi’s in 1939.

Furthermore, he searched for an explanation

Recent research in evolutionary psychology and the neurosciences has shed light on that question. But this research also has normative significance. A standard way of arguing against a normative ethical theory is to show that in some circumstances the theory leads to judgments that are contrary to our common moral intuitions
