On account of things, this is proportional to determining the properties that a question needs with a specific end goal to be considered a referent of the term. For instance, an intensional meaning of…

Uniformity and knowledge are interesting topics but very few understand the significance of both. The problem with reconciling uniformity with knowledge is that uniformity relies on the conformity of the state of a substance. Uniformity, in particular, refers to quality or state of being uniform and can be associated with the state of equanimity. Knowledge is a broad term, which is associated with fundamental truths, facts and primarily its production and uncertainties. Assumption is a statement…

While exploring the relationship between our shared knowledge and our individual knowledge, we see that there is an influence from both directions. Shared knowledge, in this context, is the knowledge belonging to a particular group of people who may be collaboratively working together, either in a separate ‘space and time’ or different places. On the other hand, personal knowledge can be interpreted as knowledge resulting from the influence of my own individual perspective, which includes…

The concept of utilitarianism gives rise to a question- What do human beings stand to gain from giving autonomous machines the power to make decisions for us? In order to answer this question, we have to firstly, consider the cost-benefit analysis of autonomous machines substituting human beings in the decision making process. “Replace one human worker with a general-purpose artificial intelligence, and the total unemployment of the species is yours for the extrapolating”- Stuart Armstrong From…

Figure 2 : One of Example Pua Kumbu as a Symbolize in Iban Society According to Rodolphe Rapetti in his book “Symbolism” he said that symbolism was part of a work of a wave of reaction against doctirinal positivism, whose backbone had been the scientific analysis of facts verified through experimental.

Montelongo 1 “The Damned Human Race” by Mark Twain is an essay that defines a human as a species at the bottom of the animal kingdom. In it he gives evidence to support his opinion. Many will disagree while others will agree, but being human is complex in every aspect. A human being is a wonderful creature that is cursed with knowledge, struggles and moves forward. Knowledge is an inescapable curse that tricks individuals into believing that a wise man is a perfect man. This curse later…

Joseph Needham’s The Grand Titration: Science and Society in East and West seeks to answer the question of why modern science developed in the Western world and not in China. He answers this question by “titrating,” or essentially comparing, scientific and technological advancements between China and the West. To conduct his comparison, he investigates the relationship, in both civilizations, between science and a variety of topics. The topics that Needham covers include politics, economics,…

Throughout my formal education, I have always been learning about science. It began with relatively basic information regarding the solar system, weather, and other “simple” topics in elementary school. I can distinctly remember being very fond of space and wanting to learn more information in regards to it. For two consecutive years, I made a model of the solar system and gave a presentation on it to my class. Additionally, in the second grade, we took a class trip to the planetarium, which I…
