Final Paper: David Lewis Prompt In his work, Mad Pain and Martian Pain, David Lewis argues that we can apprehend the concept of pain by applying an ambiguous, yet effective Materialist Mixed Theory of mind. The Mixed Theory of mind includes an Identity Theory and a Functionalist Theory—which Lewis must necessarily accept in order to have his theory of pain. Phenomenologists argue that Lewis fails to account for the experience of pain—the what it is like to be in pain and to feel pain. I will…

Final Exam for Introduction to Philosophy 1. In the first class of the semester, we went over The Handout, which was based upon 11 questions about philosophical questions that can go either way. This class activity made us think in a philosophical way and open up our minds to become more open minded in general. The next ticket we read were from the intro packet, which consists of three documents: the Calf-Path poem, the Quotations handout, and the Milgram handout. The Calf-Path poem focuses on…

The emergence of the Scientific Revolution in the mid 16th century featured a new emphasis on sense as early scientists began to qualify nature according to what they learned through experimentation and observation. Moreover, many have also correlated the rise of the scientific method with the growth of humanism and humanists’ emphasis on the individual and reason. However, as the Baconian method reduced the human to a series of basic and instinctual senses, the Scientific Revolution…

belief in God, do not fully understand the concept of God. Along with his axioms, Descartes was really interested in math. He would look for truth in the inputs and the outputs that he was classifying as bad on both sides, he would look at them in a mathematical way. He stated that mathematics was a form of knowledge. Alongside of his axioms, he uses three very similar arguments to open our knowledge to doubt: the deceiving God argument, the evil demon argument, and the dream argument. Each one…

perfection of an Aryan belly button further emphasises the extreme absurdity of racism as all humans have the same shaped belly button, however; the Italians believed it to be a ‘part of our [their] race!’. At the dinner, Dora’s colleague repeats a mathematical problem which was asked to third graders asking how much money would be saved if the ‘lunatics’ and ‘epileptics’ were ‘eliminated’, referring to the Jewish population. This showcases the dehumanised way in which the Jews were perceived as…

There are thousands of colleges in the United States, but there is only a few that specialize in computer engineering. According to the U.S. News and World Report, the best school to get a computer engineering degree is Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT is located in Cambridge Massachusetts. It was “Incorporated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on April 10, 1861” (Office). With 168 acres, it’s home to about 11,301 students. “According to the annual U.S News & World Report rankings,…

astronomer to coincide publicly with Galileo (Voelker 71). These letters helped make the heliocentric theory remembered because the documents that Kepler and Galileo sent to each other can still be found today. These letters also talked about the proof that they both discovered. Both Kepler and Galileo constructed different books that contained meaningful evidence. Galileo’s books helped various people convert to believing in the Copernican theory (Frey 393). “Kepler had introduced physical…

Assembly line balancing can be defined as how tasks to be assigned to the workstations, so the required goal can be achieved. But what is the goal that should be achieved? The answer is minimization of the workstations and maximization of the production rate. Line balancing is one of the most effective that can be used to improve the output of assembly line by reducing worker’s requirement and costs. The manufacturing assembly line was first introduced by Henry Ford in the early 1900’s. It was…

The Scientific Revolution Some people consider the development of science the most important event in all history. This all started in 1543 when the Scientific Revolution began after the Reformation. The Scientific Revolution led to the birth of modern day science. Scientists started by observing the world around them. By observing the world, scientists began to identify facts about it. Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, studied many things but his greatest contribution to science was the idea…

Law is a system of rules that are enforced through social institutions to govern behaviour. Its main purpose is to protect the rights of individuals. Philosophers play a key role in law because they represent ancient, historical, and contemporary attitudes, and influenced jurisprudence and contemporary legal thought worldwide. Four of the many philosophers who influenced law are Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill. This paper will discuss the similarities and…
