Reason

Rational activity is important because only humans can have a fairly consistent reasoning for acting or feeling in some sort of manner. For example, if someone’s parents became severely ill then that person has a reason to be down. Rational activity is unique because humans can obtain happiness by performing a function well. Doctors perform the function of possibly saving people lives this is because saving lives for people makes them happy. Someone can also have…

rationalism. Empirical rationalism is a view our conscience mind developed the ability to reason, and as a result, human moral judgment acquired similar in way, logic and mathematics acquire. As Peter Singer states, “our brain is a tool for reasoning and a capacity to reason motivates us to help others and protect our selves” (Nichols, Pg. 76). Rationalists argue human mental capacities and ability to reason are why all humans can make distinctions between right, wrong, from moral,…

the day before (a Mayan sun salad with sautéed filet of salmon). On the other hand, Mr. Quiana orders a cheddar burger and Bloody Mary from the same waitress in the same booth at the Whiskey Tavern on Baxter St. during his trials. They do this for a reason. They do this because belief that these actions will increase their luck in their trials. These are known as superstitions.

human ideas; however many philosophers ideas contrast within epistemology. Contrasted with rationalism which states knowledge is obtained from “experience and by deduction” (Gill 57). I agree with the epistemology of empiricism. There is not much reason to believe and accept the innate theory. We are all born with clear minds allowing for individuals to gain as much knowledge as the brain can hold. The first process of learning is through the use of our senses and being able to recall what has…

ah Bard 4/10/16 PHIL 2020-001 Professor Coates Why it is Wrong Abortion has become quite common in America, as now there are laws in favor of letting an individual woman make her own decision about whether or not she wants to prolong her pregnancy to have a baby, or to have an abortion. The key question that most philosophers admit and agree to while talking about abortion is, “How do you determine the humanity of a being?” (Noonan, first paragraph, lines 1-2) On the other hand, at the end of…

philosophies of the school of rationalism. The advantage of rationalism is that it relies solely on logic and reason to seek absolute truths.

Many times I have been mislead by my senses, making me hesitant to trust empirical observations. I trust logic and reason over my own sensory observations when making conclusions in my own life. In the NHL, there has been a…

It was a good idea that you used logical reasons from the beginning especially after the story you started about the parents that do not like the trash around there children at school. You stated, “City Hall needs to respond to your needs, and to meet those needs on the street, by cleaning the streets and keeping it clean for the youth.” That itself covered the reason behind why you did all these things such as the trash cans. You gave a logical reason of why you are doing this and why we should…

Plato’s theories of psychology are spurred by thoughts he had about moral theory. Specifically, Plato rejects the advanced record of judiciousness as the amplification of subjectively assessed self-intrigue in light of the fact that, had he embraced such a record, his hypothesis of equity would be liable to reactions which he holds are fatal to the contractarian theory of justice. While forming a hypothesis to stay within moral requirements once in a while damages the ordinances of logical…
