According to Plato, science can only provide opinions, not knowledge. We all know that there are many types of sciences, different ranks of them and also theories and concepts. Plato focused specifically on Astronomy, he believed the earth as a spherical one.

Moreover, the ones who practice science and have studied, have a sense of “knowledge;” for them at least.…

I, Wan Aida Deliana will be focusing on Richard Dawkins atheistic view as I believe that his statements are the things that I question in life. The strength of Richard Dawkins is that he is able to relate to his audience with science as his religion. Dawkins explained his several point of views by applying scientific concepts and the concept of Darwinism. He grew up in an Anglicanism Christian upbringing. He mentions that in his biographical introduction, he realized that there are…

“Does God begin where science ends?” is a question Professor John Lennox begins his speech with. It is remarkable that science and God has become one the most discussed debate in the world, but at the end of the day, science is not at war with God. This debate is fuelled by two opposite worldviews, atheistic materialism and theistic views (Christian views). Professor John Lennox goes on to say in his speech that science has rendered atheism irrelevant and that he sees science and religion…

The following study was to determine if good intentions can possibly sooth pain, increase pleasure and even make things taste better (Gray, 2012, p.659). Three experiments all of which used a experimental groups, were taken place to determine three different aspects can contribute to answer the questions if whether intentions can contribute to pain while physical experience can also be sensitive to positive intentions (Gray, 2012, p. 659). Each experiment had different details the experimenters…

6) In what way(s) does your theory deal with motivational issues? Motivation is not a main point in this theory but it is believed that future goals are the motivator for our current behavior. The original person to bring this up was Adler he called it a teleological position. This is seen as a motivator in so many areas in the lives of people. If a 20 year old wants to become a professor at the age of thirty this will motivate so many choices that they may not have choose without that goal. The…

One very impressive attack on Hume’s argument, trying to solve it with its definition, is as follows. The first premise of the argument is challenged, which is “if we want induction to be rationally justified, induction must be reliable.” Since the definition of deduction is based on the validity of an argument, which is assumed to be reliable, why couldn’t reliability be a part of the definition of induction? Induction is defined to be reliable in this attack. However, reliability cannot be a…

Throughout my life I often caught myself thinking, “I wish someone would listen!” “Do they even know what listening is?” More so, “do they know what it takes to be an active listener?” Before entering Counseling Theory and Process, I was exceedingly confident in my ability to be an active listener, hence my interest in becoming a counselor, little did I know, there was an abundant amount of information to be learned. Furthermore, there was so much more knowledge to consume about other people…

asked a doctor why he was no longer the same, the most unhelpful approach would be for the doctor to reply back with the theory of substance dualism. If the doctor said that Cage's mind is no longer in his body, how would his family and friends react to a complicated answer? It is doubtful that it would be received with acceptance. If the doctor, however used the identity theory instead to explain why he was no longer the person that they knew, by explaining in a simply scientific way it is…

Jacob Holleran Mr. Corso Astronomy Period 5 12/12/17 Science vs Religion Science and religion have been seemingly at war for centuries, with some scholars on both sides trying to divide the two and others attempting to reconcile them. My personal opinion is that science and religion should not be viewed as two separate entities, rather as two sides of the same coin. My opinion is backed up by the Danish Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, and the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas, With the…
