1) What is Aristotle’s conception of the discipline of philosophy in Metaphysics, Bk. alpha? What is his strategy for addressing this issue? How does he proceed? What is his assessment of his predecessors? Explain. What is his reasoning? Is his assessment justified? Why or why not? In Metaphysics, Bk. Alpha, Aristotle’s conception of the disciple of philosophy is very interesting. He claims that there has been a movement from past beliefs and an entire new discipline of philosophy has…

Considering I have been a university student on and off for the last decade, I believe I have become complacent about my academic literacy skills. I earn good grades, in my opinion, and I often receive positive feedback on my academic writing style and my referencing. Whilst I have received some criticisms, it has never occurred to me to analyse my academic literacy skills and make a point of identifying my weaknesses and improving upon them. As my degree progresses, I increasingly need to be…

the verb ‘to be’ is omitted or replaced by ‘ain’t’ or ‘gonna/gon’ while a grammatically incorrect ‘be’ (as in ‘We be countin’ up’) is sometimes used to show that the action is in progress or habitual. Grammatical agreement between the subject and predicate is also often missing. Unlike Standard English, double negatives are allowed in AAVE such as in “I ain’t never lettin’ go.” or “She ain’t wantin’…

attribute. He argues that within Christian theology, whether God is simultaneously a being numbered as one and three existent entities, one has to accept the notion of a God with attributes which invalidates a perfect God. Even if this is set aside, the predicates of the standard of a perfect and absolute God are again pervaded further when one believes that Jesus of Nazareth as a physical being is a member of the trinity of God, in that God is transformed into an entity that is reflected by…

The reality of being a registered sex offender comes with unfair and harsh consequences when having to live in a community with other residences. Sexual offenders come in various offenses and can commit a low level or high level sexually related crime. Based on the level of the offense most sexual crimes result in some length of incarceration or form of punishment. When sex offenders are released back into the community, it is the furthest thing from being free. A crime such as child pornography…

In this paper, I will discuss the Problem of Induction and the Principle of Uniformity of Nature’s solution (PUN), proposed by David Hume. Another element of this paper will explore Nelson Goodman’s New Riddle of Induction that derives from Hume’s hypothesis. In addition to that, I will also recount why PUN is insufficient/problematic to justify induction according to Goodman, along with a couple examples of premises that will better demonstrate the issue. There are two types of reasoning –…

With our world progressively becoming more and more “techno-centric”, we are now able to produce far faster than the world imagined just 20 years ago. Nevertheless, despite all of our grand achievements and the relationships that have come as result of it, some would argue that we are still failing to produce smarter in regards to efficiency. A lot of our inventions and alterations are no longer for necessity. With the increase of inventions there has been a push for cleaner and more efficient…

inputs, as the reactions that make such products might be nonlinear and result in unexpected outputs. In short, understanding what an emergent property is begins in understanding how in does not equal out, and consequently how there is no way to predicate that one thing would develop from another. A whole system is greater than the sum of its parts, subsequently an emergent property is one that could not be accounted for just looking at the material inputs. Furthermore, now that Fukuyama’s…

Innovation Diffusion Theory Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory is one of the most established sociology hypotheses which is produced by E.M. Rogers in 1962. It began in correspondence to clarify how, after some time, a thought or item picks up energy and spreads through a particular populace or social framework. The final aftereffect of this dispersion is that individuals, as a feature of a social framework, receive another thought, conduct, or item. Appropriation implies that a man…
