Uniform Civil Code in India

A common civil code, popularly known as the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), is a long-standing unresolved debate in independent India.

Philosophical Critiques of Descartes' "Cogito Ergo Sum"

Huet's Challenge to Cartesian Evidence

A critique, often attributed to Pierre Daniel Huet, questions the Cartesian "Cogito ergo sum." It posits that we cannot accept the existence of reason as self-evident if its establishment as the rule of evidence could have been manipulated by an evil genius.

Descartes' Answer: Descartes counters that reason is an intuitive truth that reveals itself; it does not merely validate a rule of evidence established on a provisional basis. On the contrary, finding that the existence of reason is an irrefutable truth is, in fact, legitimized by the rule of evidence (though, Descartes concedes, ultimately legitimized only by God).

Hume's Empiricist Critique of the

Representation of Preferences by Indifference Curves

An indifference curve shows the consumption baskets that yield the same level of satisfaction to the consumer. The consumer is indifferent between various combinations within the indifference curve. The slope at any point on an indifference curve is equal to the rate at which consumers are willing to substitute one good for another. This relationship is called the marginal rate of substitution (MRS). The rate at which a consumer is willing to trade Pepsi for pizza depends on who has more hunger or thirst, which depends in turn on how much pizza and Pepsi they have.

As a consumer prefers a larger quantity of goods, they prefer higher indifference curves to lower ones.
