I have been trying to figure this out and i think that "adversity's sweet milk, philosophy" means that philosophy or thinking about the adversity, that Romeo just got banished, might cause romeo to think more sensibly and stop him from wanting to kill himself.

"The Friar replies, "I'll give thee armour to keep off that word: / Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy, / To comfort thee, though thou art banished" (3.3.54-56). Philosophy is "adversity's sweet milk" because when you have problems, philosophy nurtures you by enabling you to put those problems in perspective. The Friar wants to talk some sense into Romeo, but Romeo doesn't want to listen, and besides, the Friar said that "b" word again."

What are the difference between a replenishment philosophy and a requirements philosophy?

There are some differences between a replenishment philosophy and a requirements philosophy: - The requirement philosophy is used in MRP systems whilst the replenishment philosophy is used in order-point systems. - The replenishment philosophy is oriented toward the customer and it more focuses outward objectives where as the requirement philosophy is oriented toward manufacturer and it more focuses inward objectives. - In the replenishment philosophy, material should be replenished when it runs low versus in the requirement philosophy, material is ordered only when a need exists as directed by the master schedule. If there are no manufacturing requirements for a particular part, it will not be replenished, even though the inventory level is low. - In the replenishment philosophy, ABC principle is applied as a control principle and EOQ formula can help providing relative accurate stock level. In the requirement philosophy, ABC principle and the time-honored EOQ do not work well if this order philosophy is applied. - In the requirement philosophy, as MRP is future-oriented so ordering philosophy base on requirement generated from master schedule. In the replenishment philosophy, the forecast of replenishment the stock level base on the past history of demand. - In the replenishment philosophy, if demand is lumpy, materials will be carried on hand during long period of zero demand resulting in unnecessary inventory-carrying cost. But in the requirement philosophy, the requirement of particular part is very important in manufacturing because demand for component parts is lumpy.


Who unexamined life is not worth living is a cornerstone of the philosophy of?

if i understand your question correctly, then "Socrates" is the perhaps the best answer, though it may not be fair to say it is the cornerstone of his philosophy. a better answer might be to say that Socrates was, if not the first, the first to famouslyemphasize that an unexamined life is not worth living.


Why isn't philosophy considered science?

Philosophy and science have different methodologies and goals. While science relies on empirical observation and experimentation to understand the natural world, philosophy explores fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, and the nature of reality through reasoning and critical analysis. Though both fields seek to uncover truth and deepen understanding, they employ distinct approaches and are concerned with different aspects of knowledge.

What is the difference between European philosophy to Semite philosophy?

It is useful to contrast Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy, this contrast was certainly a serious issue for medieval philosophers like Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides) and Thomas Aquinas. Both of them wrestled with attempting to reconcile Aristotelian philosophy with the biblical philosophy. It is not clear that there is such a thing as Semitic philosophy, though, so it is difficult to address this question.

What can you say about philosophy and its nature?

According to the dictionary, philosophy is ' the love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.' This is, however, only a string of words in a book and therefore cannot truly encompass the nature of philosophy. I personally find philosophy to be a journey through your own mind, finding a system of life that will function for you. This is from the viewpoint of a relativist (in absolutist terms), so a more eastern philosophy. Western philosophy is more concerned with what is solid and absolute, though I can't say that I understand the value of absolutism.
