Chapter 3: An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship Between Financial Development and Economic Growth. 3.1 Introduction In most empirical studies the problem was how to measure financial intermediation and the indication of the level of financial services produced in the economy. There are various services available to the financial sector and this is the reason why it is so difficult to construct financial development indicators. The aim of this chapter is to empirically investigate…

one being the empirical and “pure” sides of life. The empirical side is one based off of one’s personal experiences while the pure side is prior to experience. Kant’s focus is primarily on the “pure” side and not the empirical because the empirical side is filled with distractions that get in the way of the universal. The universal is what matters most, not the individual. The death penalty has been a controversial issue for many years. It can be divided into two maxims: an empirical and a pure.…

peculiarly separate from the physical and social sciences. This is based on the seeming certainty of arithmetic, opposed to the verifiability of the empirical sciences. This uniqueness has generated significant discussion on the exact nature of mathematical truth. The inductivists held that mathematical truths were simply an extension of empirical science; mathematical truths are simply highly probable rather than certain. Hempel defends a view known as logicism: mathematical truths are…

with KAN+ and there are still several errors in Noumena to bring the absolute knowledge in empirical science. Before I talk about my opinion on Noumena, I think it is better off to briefly remind you about fallibilism and the three main problems of the absolute knowledge in empirical science. Do you remember the two types of science that I explained the other day? The two types are formal science and empirical science. Formal sciences include logic, mathematics, game theory…

paranormal thinking with rational, philosophical and naturalistic thinking. Plato was a dualist which means he believed that there are two aspects to human beings, an empirical body and a soul which is not of the empirical world; this belief is the core of his theory about body and soul. Plato believed that our body, being empirical, used senses to gain knowledge which he saw as an unreliable guide to the truth. Because our body is driven and focussed more around pleasures, such as eating and…

“affirming empirical reality.” This is quite confusing when considering the meaning of the word “empirical” and the postmortem goals pursued by Pure Land Buddhism. Pure Land Buddhism’s main goal is liberation from the other power, Amida. This is mentioned in the Tannish ō, as it goes on to describe rebirth in the Pure Land and postmortem destiny. Although both express absolute monism in which the cycle of life and death is one, they both challenge the idea of “empirical reality.” The word…

One of the key claims made by Kant in his transcendental account of cognition is the fact that human beings are able to have empirical knowledge of their world. He also emphasizes that such empirical knowledge includes knowledge of the human being. For Kant, empirical study of the human being proceeds by introspection and observation of others, which both can face serious problems. First, due to the complexity of mental life, the human being typically acts differently when being observed.…

Taking into consideration how important is to take all approaches in a research, speculative, and empirical strategies contribute with different methods for the benefit of an investigation. Both approaches combined are the needed tools for a research. Consequently, to compare these two approaches here is more erudition demonstrating both approaches. Given that, the speculative approach is about making conjectures, or educated guesses, it is more theoretical than practical, but combine with…

with high rate of mortality and morbidity (Mizuta et al., 2006). Regrettably, the rise in P. aeruginosa resistance increasingly complicates decisions concerning treatment and leads to possible delays in suitable empirical dual antimicrobial therapy (Mizuta et al., 2006). However, early empirical dual antimicrobial therapy is one possible option that can be used that can lead to one selected agent that can be active against a pathogen that is causing infection (Tamma, Cosgrove & Maragakis, 2012).…
