Empirical

The first argument is that space is presupposed for outer experience. Space is not an “empirical concept,” and according to Kant, “in order for certain sensations to be related to something outside me... the representation of space must already be their ground.” Kant argues that the reason humans have an experience of anything outside of themselves…

non-science, and is fiercely argued between Rudolf Carnap and Karl Popper around mid-twentieth century. The Logical Positivism initially named the process of identification of science “verification”, which means it is only scientific when dealing with empirical results, theories or experiments that are verifiable. Rudolf Carnap has his own set of testability and meaning, for example, the verification was later reduced to confirmation, and eventually toned down to probability. In short, Logical…

that it is a science Kant understands metaphysics is a complete failure, because there is no empirical evidence available through human cognition to prove without a doubt any type of metaphysical claim about space and time. Therefore, it is obvious why Kant believes it is up to a future metaphysician to come fill the void of this fail science, it is just simply impossible to prove it thought the empirical evidence. However, this is only true if metaphysics is taken as a scientific field of…

colonized people displayed towards the colonizers” (Elson and Pearson, 1981, p.95). Other researchers argue that women workers have been resisting and protesting the capital industrialisation in their own diversified ways. Mills(2005, p.138) argues with empirical study in Thailand that low-wage migrant women workforce, far from being unorganizable, are already engaged in oppositional practice and collective action as “raised fist”. Louie (2001a) called them “sweatshop warriors” for their…

Each of the above-mentioned options has its own pros and cons. These will be discussed in detail in the next chapter. In short, strategic alliances can have low capital and low management input and in FDI's you can have higher management input but with higher capital investments. It is never easy to finalize the entry strategy for an international expansion. The firms' resource commitment, profits, the degree of control and investment opportunity is at a very high stake. (Shrader, 2001: 51). It…

popular belief. Today, with the widespread debate about gun violence and the search for something to blame, some sources, like the National Rifle Association (NRA), have turned to point the finger at mental illness; yet, at the same time, most empirical sources render the claim that mental illness induces gun violence as insignificant or completely erroneous. In essence, mental illness does not produce gun violence. A 2015 survey conducted…

The third perspective that pertains to this situation is the assimilation perspective. The assimilation perspective proposes that a racial or ethnic group’s experiences are determined by how much their behavior and attitudinal norms resemble those of the “mainstream” society. More specifically, Anon was engaging in structural assimilation which occurs when minority group members physically become members of the larger society by working for companies, attending big universities, joining…

The original empirical evidence for this theory was that women who were at colleges were likely to experience stocking irrespective of their socioeconomic status. However, the problem with that particular theory is that being the victim of a crime is often linked to socioeconomic status. In addition, the crime that the original empirical study looked at was a crime that was “white-collar.” It was not a violent crime, and it…

approach to the whole lecture contained many rhetorical questions to engage the audience. By doing this, she also hit on anecdotal and empirical evidence, compare and contrast, pathos, logos, and ethos. Numerous times, she even called domestic violence intimate partner violence, but did inform the audience that domestic violence does not discriminate. By using empirical evidence and statistics, she validates her claim that domestic violence, in fact, can affect anyone at any time and this…
