“...In it’s very Being, that Being is an issue for it” Phenomenology, according to Boeree, “is an effort at improving our understanding of ourselves and our world by means of careful description of experience” (Boeree, 2000). In several of Heidegger’s works, specifically Being in Time and The Question Concerning Technology, he explores the idea of what it means “to be”, giving priority to human experience (as we serve as the only entity that has prior knowledge of “Being”). However, with…

There is little doubt that knowledge can be produced through active experiment and passive observation. But they are just two of the several ways in which humans can produce knowledge. In fact, it is accepted that there are eight ways in which knowledge can be acquired. These ways are the following ones: Sense perception, Language, Reason, Emotion, Imagination, Faith, Intuition and Memory. Occasionally, knowledge can be produced in some other way, for example by random discovery (a.k.a.…

I argue that while Gale may present a somewhat logical definition for the term “accidental discovery,” as well as a convincing argument as to why his idea of accidental discoveries do not exist, Gale’s definition of what constitutes an accidental discovery is incomplete. In this essay, I will describe Gale’s definition of an accidental discovery, and assess his argument as to why accidental discoveries can not be made in science. Then, I will argue that an accidental discovery can actually…

For many years, science and art has played a major role in the development in humanity likewise society. Science deals with discovering and understanding the nature of how the environment behaves and operates as well as the outside world by using reason and concrete evidence in order to evaluate and reach a conclusion to something that will benefit the humanity for generations whereas art applies various types of techniques and colors by means of establishing emotion and instinct to the mind and…

natural sciences, defining knowledge produced with difficulty is difficult. there are many interpretations and different points of view to this statement. In the sciences, follow a specific scientific method and experimenting new things to create theories and new models required a certain level of intelligence and a high level of experimentation which depends on an elevated level of reasoning and experimentation. On the other hand, defining knowledge in the arts is far more difficult than in the…

the social strain theory. Culture conflict theory deals with the different values according to different social group. Some people are taught values, but they do not live up to their values no matter if they are in a higher social class. Uneven social economic society is what social disorganization theory deals with , so crime is caused by the chaos that is left over from not being an organized society. In this a contrast and comparison was made of these three kinds of theories, and the major…

In the early 1950’s, Solomon Asch a social psychologist conducted many simple, but ingenious experiments called “Opinion and Social Pressure”. Asch discovered by doing these experiments that individuals can be persuaded by a group of people to deny your own sense. Over the years Asch got the information to provide a powerful explanation on how people will forget their own sense and judgment to their peers. In “Opinion and Social Pressure” Asch did many experiments to figure out what the…

predictions of the future. The regulation of human affairs would yield to a similar rational system of deduction and mathematical inference coupled with experiment and critical observation. (Cohen 62) More authentic theory may be created by verification and to prevent someone creating troublesome “theory”. Conclusion The threefold in science is a way to create a complete puzzle by drafting, outlining and proving, which is extracted from the material world. It ignites my interests in mesmerizing…

can range from thought patterns to action. Paradigm is a way of examining social phenomena from which particular understandings of these phenomena can be gained and explanations attempted. In this chapter four paradigms for the analysis of social theory have been explained: functionalist, interpretive, radical structuralist and radical humanist. And these four paradigms are arranged to correspond to four conceptual dimensions: radical change and regulation, subjectivist and objectivist. Radical…
