Certainty

puritan values and concerns she had as a puritan. Bradstreet’s poetry conveys the puritan values of not attaching yourself to worldly possessions. She also writes on seeking God and doing Gods will, and her concern of the brevity of life and the certainty of death is a “traditional” concern she had as a puritan, that she expressed in her poetry. The reason why Bradstreet is able to get her message across is because of the language and composition she uses in her poetry. Anne Bradstreet’s gives…

Using experiments to validate scientific findings has not always been the universal concept that it is today. During the Aristotelian era, experimentation was not considered necessary because many people believed Aristotle’s ideas were sound in logic and need not be proven any other way. However, beginning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, experimentation became more important to philosophers such as Blaise Pascal, William Harvey, and Robert Hooke. These men had opinions of their own…

In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke sets out to construct his brand of epistemology and refine his definition of empiricism. Rather than contending that the mind is imprinted with information instinctually, Locke argues that not only does all knowledge stems from the subject’s experience of the material world by means of the subject’s senses. The senses, Locke argues, are “infallible” and the sole means by which we organize knowledge. To demonstrate the necessity of the senses…

Consequences). Wittgenstein had similar considerations as Peirce as to why methodological doubt as a foundation is flawed. By doubting something the doubter is acknowledging the existence of something. As Wittgenstein phrases it “doubt presupposes certainty”. His example was when one doubts a particular war (in our case let’s say a conspiracy theory, such as a doubt of the occurrence of 9/11) they are in turn acknowledging basic fundamental facts- such as the existence of a world in which…

A young boy runs screaming down a long dark hall; afraid of the monster that he just witnessed coming from his room. As he runs towards his parents room he thinks of the his mother telling him that there is “no such thing as monsters”, however the fear overshadowing him right now tells him that his mother’s words were clearly false, and as he opens the door to their room he screams “Monster! Monster!”. Calmly the boy’s mother takes him down the dark hall, back into the room where he first…

This being the generation of social media, a person can see that freedom of speech is becoming more publicized rather than a word of mouth. Mills, argument about free speech leading to maximization of utility can still be applied today. Mills argument is still on point when it comes to the…

is not fulfilling because it requires you to fill yourself of this given being and show dependence on it. Thus, it is through the desire for Consciousness that you can free yourself from this dependence and realize true freedom. To achieve self-certainty and recognition, desire requires another desire, which can only come from another self-conscious being. Human beings participate in this process at the same time, where self-consciousness simultaneously attempts to retrieve itself from the other…

genetic risk factor. Everyone inherits a copy of some form of APOE from each parent. Those who inherit APOE-e4 from one parent have an increased risk of Alzheimer’s. Those who inherit APOE-e4 from both parents have an even higher risk, but it’s not a certainty that they will develop the disease. It is important to point out that’s the reason why APOE- 4 is considered a genetic risk-factor. APOE-4 is a genetic risk factor so it increases a person's risk of developing the disease but it does not…

His arguments, which can be concluded as our senses give us the knowledge of external things outside us, could only be plausible when his premise on the certainty of senses is true, which gives me reasons why I cannot fully agree with Locke. Our senses give us perceptions, which must involve a certain degree of subjectivity. The definite subjectivity suggests that our senses show us the subjective views on…
