Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The purpose of the Two Minutes of Hate is to instill a common hatred for Emmanuel Goldstein and associate his image and name with hateful sounds and images so that a common hatred can be built and no defections to the party will arise.

“War is Peace” and such.

The government of Oceania is oxymoronic. To keep peace they believe they need war so their ministry of peace deals with war and that alone. The ministry of truth deals with areas where truth can be skewed to the governments favor. The other two government areas, ministry of love and plenty, have similar oxymoronic features. The government is very secretive and paranoid of its people, as well.

Winston thinks when he sees the dark-haired girl outside the shop that she was spying on him.

Winston discovers at Mr. Charrington’s shop that Victory Square, where he lives, use to be Saint Martin’s church.

Winston keeps a diary to communicate with the future in hopes that they will listen to him and make a change, if they are different from his time.

The philosophy of the Party that is revealed through the conversation with Winston and Syme is that the Party’s goal is to simplify the language to the basic roots and prefixes so that that individual thought and the people that say what should be unsaid are no more.

i don't know how helpful this is but i tried

    Dominant Philosophy

    In 1984, George Orwell warns of the terrifying dangers that man may create for himself in his quest for a utopian society. It warns that people might believe that everyone must become slaves to the government in order to have an orderly society, but at the expense of the freedom of the people.

    Good luck.
