Would you, like Milo, go though to the lands beyond? “There once was a boy named Milo…” He was always bored and he “regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all.” One day a large package arrived in his room; it was The Phantom Tollbooth. Milo opened the box and read the directions. He really couldn’t go wrong in opening this big box, because the box said “Results are not guaranteed, but if not perfectly
Philosopher Stephen Toulmin created the Toulmin method, which is an informal process of reasoning. When using the Toulmin method in the argument about putting a tax on junk food, the author’s purpose is to persuade people to accept taxes imposed on Junk food, in order to reduce the rate of obesity in the United States.

The replacement argument aims to show that monism is impossible to maintain, opening the way for pluralism as a viable metaphysical account of objects and their parts.

Mozi wrote several arguments on impartial caring, one of which is the “two ruler” argument. This paper intends to focus on and summarize the said argument and discuss the explanations and counterarguments that provide a basis of how it fails. Readers should expect a simplification of Mozi’s statements, analyses of Mozi’s erroneous generalizations and impractical idea, and a defense against possible questions raised against the analyses. Mozi starts by dichotomizing rulers into partial ones and
