Logical possibility

The Milgram study of obedience placed volunteers in a simple, yet difficult situation. The participates believed their involvement was for the scientific research for human memory. The subjects had to inflict an electric shock towards the receiver for any wrong answer in a series of questions. The electric shock would grow in intensity until the high and most dangerous voltage potentially injuring or killing the receiver. However, the experiment was a ruse with actors and fake equipment. In…

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 Positivism’s criterions of demarcation thinks that…

other for our wrongdoings, than to admit to oneself and taking full responsibility for our own actions. In the book Existentialism and Human Emotions, the author, Jean-Paul Sartre address the statement, “existence precedes essence” and makes two logical conclusions such as freedom and responsibility that ties to the concepts of anguish, forlornness, and despair.

The second premise introduces the Nicod’s Criterions, in which “All F’s are G’s” is confirmed by the observation of positive instance, an object that is both F and G. Such Criterion is a universal generalization that is confirmed by the…

He tries to justify his actions by explaining to everyone that it was the best course of action for Rome. While Julius seemed ambitionless if he was given that much power there was a possibility…

naturalism, is extremely low, if not entirely impossible. Plantinga strengthens this argument by discussing material naturalism (specifically reductive and nonreductive materialism). However, over the course of his argument, he ignores the logical possibility of immaterial naturalism, a theory that I argue changes (and possibly destroys) the validity of the EAN. Thus, within this paper, I will argue that Plantinga’s EAN is incomplete, as he does not adequately respond to the…

bacteria are unknown. The safest and most logical concept is to improve upon all the shielding from space, to create as little contact with the forms of bacteria as possible (Krishen 5). Another area of crew safety that is to be improved upon is with protection from solar radiation, currently, gold foiling is in use to protect the astronauts from the solar radiation, although the gold foiling does a mediocre job at repelling the solar radiation it can…
