Perdurantism is a solution to the problem of change which suggest that objects are four dimensional. Lewis would suggest that the objects have both temporal and spatial parts. While the spatial parts remain, the temporal parts can change. In other words, objects persist through time and change by having temporal parts. In an effort to understand why perdurantism exists, I will describe the circumstances leading to its creation, which will include a description of the elements of change and the…

Scandinavian Community. All material and objects for any collection could be obtained by purchase, commission, bequest, gift, exchange, field collection and/or abandonment. The governance document was…

According to these thinkers, the object that we see it is not considered to be aesthetic but it is the attitude in which we perceive it and the capacity to make a dedicated observation which enables the mind to obtain these aesthetic experiences that matters. Jerome Stolnitz, a chief advocate of the theory of “Aesthetic Experience” believes that the goal of aesthetic experience is that there is no object in the external world which cannot be observed as an aesthetic object provided the observer…

fictional family’s tradition though the objects in the story. At the heart of the story is Dee, and her mother, who is partially nameless save for the surname Johnson, who had distinct views on upholding their family’s tradition. Although it eventually caused the two characters to develop some friction in their relationship, both of them were only trying to nurture their tradition in the way the best know how. Dee valued the “authenticity” of the objects. For Dee, an object was authentic if it…

the old Ocean Park Pier sits in the patio space directly outside of the living room. The sculpture was fashioned from a 5-foot burnt wooden beam with a rusted curving spike protruding from the top. Ray Eames did not radically transform or alter the object in any way. She merely took the burnt wooden post out of its original context as a piece of rubbish, places on a pedestal, and brought it into her home, turning it into a piece of history that now tells a story…

to use this sensory information interchangeably, thus maintaining object recognition skills when deprived of a sense,…

picture based on objects in the picture and how they all compile together based on their shape and mass. In this photo, I will be talking about three elements of composition: form/shape, color, and space. Within this photo, each item has a series of geometric shapes—mostly comprising of rectangles in the soaps and dryer sheets as well as circular in the tide pods. These shapes give the overall sense of man-made created forms, giving off an unnatural form. The only objects that seems…

question the reality perceived by the speaker and the certitude of the speaker in his perceptions. Yet Austin insists that certain metaphysical questions that interrogates into the reality — whether the speaker is in the proper state of mind, whether the object is in its natural state, whether the speaker’s perceptions have been distorted by external influences — lose their meanings when raised in ambiguous contexts, and language can be used as an instrument to clarify the confusion between…

resistance. The amount of drag exerted on to an object is affected by many different factors, such as air density and the size of the projectile. It is important to understand drag, as it affects the distance an object is able to travel if it is not influenced by outside forces, such as a cannons projectile. The equation for drag is shown below. F=pCA/2 v^2 p = The density of the air. C = The drag coefficient of the projectile. A = The area of the object that the air presses on. v = The…

From the moment a child is born their perceptual skills are working and evolving. Infants and toddlers are constantly exploring the world around them and the objects within their environmental setting. As young children engage with objects they are using their senses to understand, organize, and take in new information. An infant may demonstrate their perception by turning their head, kicking their feet, or reaching out when presented with different visual or auditory experiences. According to…
