Hume argues that we have no logical reason to believe in miracles on the basis of testimonies from those who claim to have seen a miracle. Miracles in a sense are derived from testimonies which are second-hand evidence from someone’s experience making it unreliable. No one can depend entirely on testimony as if it were to act as an immediate object of our senses since it contradicts our senses.The evidence must be greatly supported for it to be probable for belief, according to Hume. However, we…

In her book, “Perspectives on Contemporary Issues,” Katherine Anne Ackley states, in chapter one, many substantial points on how to carefully analyze and understand written work. The written work ranges from a typical essay, to an attached photograph, and even a blog. First she explains that “it's not what is said, but instead, how something is said,” that helps a good writer guide their audience to acknowledging the message being conveyed and what the purpose is. She suggests questions to ask…

A writer is a person, who, with better reasoning and understanding is able to communicate ideas with his/her audience. For example here are the two articles “What’s in a Name?” by Roger Dooley and “Let Them Die” by Kenan Malik here both writers try to manipulate the readers as they don't have a solid proof for their argument. “What’s in a Name?” by Roger Dooley Dooley starts the article with a sarcastic title stating “What’s in a Name?”, the readers start thinking about the negative aspects…

The notion that a response to an emotional situation can insinuate a completely different situation and restart the modal model process. Throughout a day, a single person interacts with peers, figures of authority, and family; their moods and emotions fluctuate as each situation arises and changes the course for future encounters. It is expected that with a changing environment it alters a sequence of events, but if an environment was simulated to be consistent would the responses that occur be…

a contemporary context it becomes easier to understand the opposing views and to make decisions about truth based upon them. Leibniz and Hume have two very different ideas when it comes to truth and knowledge. As a radical thinker, Leibniz uses logic and identity statements to build his claim for the existence…

Though most of Plato's Republic is dedicated to finding ultimate truth via the Forms and establishing the utopia Kallipolis, Plato also explores the importance of falsehood and deception as necessary to constructing an ideal city. Through Socrates, Plato explains the difference between his concept of a true or pure falsehood and of a noble falsehood or a “falsehood of words”: I simply mean that to be false to one's soul about the things are, to be ignorant and to have and hold falsehood there,…

The idea of Greek mathematics as a philosophy is a key concept to the history of science. Many of the works of Greek mathematicians such Archimedes Euclid and Plato have fueled the formation of the most important Greek mathematical traditions of the early centuries till this day. There are two traditions of mathematics presented by Greek mathematicians: Practical mathematics and theoretical mathematics or better called abstract. These two fields differ so vastly from one another as they must be…

Logic affects our lives everyday. We use it both mentally and physically to make decisions which can be important in our future. Logic can also be used in other ways. Bad logic can result in learning from our bad decisions we chose to do. This is shown in Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail. Its setting was in England because all historical english literature is mostly from England. Especially talking about time periods, kings and knights were in England during the time period of the tale.…

Mill claims that the only people suited to make a comparison between the value of two things are only those who have experienced both. For example, I am not a competent judge whether the movie “If I stay” is better then the movie “The visit”, unless I have seen both movies. In this case I have never seen “The Visit”, therefore I am not a competent judge to value and compare the two movies. If I did compare, it would be bias. Competent judges can also be bias from the start because they are…
