Propositional attitude

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION From the critical realist perspective, the overall study identifies the connection between the power relationship, contextual factors and interactional features of the therapeutic relationship in the South Indian outpatient physiotherapy settings in its different level. In this study, the identified power relationship, the contextual factors and interactional features denotes the elements of social practice, discourse practice and the text features of Fairclough’s CDA…

unaware or unwilling to change their attitudes and behaviours, despite the provision of relevant information. In order to determine an adequate solution, it is necessary to first outline the ways in which peoples’ attitudes are shaped and how they influence behavioural actions. Attitudes can be defined as a person’s subjective evaluation of an object or event, and can either be positive or negative. Attitudes can be implicit or explicit. Implicit attitudes are a way of thinking that is…

Criminological theories have traditionally focused on explaining crime rates and criminal behavior separately with their own notions, assumptions, and scopes of criminality (Heidt & Wheeldon, 2015). However, integrated theories propose the combination of macro and micro theories to explain the causes of crime. Macro theories such as social disorganization try to explain the criminal act and crime rate with the characteristics of the neighborhood. On the other hand, Micro theories explain the…

In the domain of philosophy of the mind, folk psychology also known as commonsense psychology is a natural born human ability to predict and describe the behavior and mental state of other people. A simple way to explain something is through indications of similar items. By using desires, hopes, fear, beliefs, hope and other recognizable mental states, humans are able to interpret other minds. The study of folk psychology is concentrated on how people without the exercise of academic fields of…

interpret the speech and thoughts of others” (Rational Animals, 322). Davidson argues that the differences between humans and animals is substantial enough to be a fundamental difference in kind. He asserts that it is propositional attitudes that are indicative of cognition. Propositional attitudes consist of things like belief, desire, intention, and shame. In effect, Davidson states that rational animals must be able to express some kind of judgement, something he regards animals incapable of.…

expectation. In this study the therapist provided the information to the patient, which found not fully enough to satisfy the patient. In chapter 6 the therapist conducted a patient centred way of clinical reasoning by using the interactional strategy propositional act of assumptions to handle the patient concerns and to create the mutual therapeutic relationship. However, in this particular situation the effectiveness of this particular approach is questionable. So, may be further research…

IST, Science, and Beliefs Dennett now proceeds to place IST within cognitive science. He believes that IST could lead to some unification amongst the sciences, due to its ability to properly sort a number of thorny philosophical issues (such as if the system really has beliefs). By example, he notes how intentional systems regard beliefs. IST states that beliefs serve no purpose unless those beliefs are mostly true. A system containing many false beliefs fails to even be conceivable. An…

monologic/dialogic, spoken/written, +/- visual-contact, etc.). Systemic semantics includes what is usually called 'pragmatics'. Semantics is divided into three components: • Ideational Semantics (the propositional content); • Interpersonal Semantics (concerned with speech-function, exchange structure, expression of attitude, etc.); • Textual Semantics (how the text is structured as a message, e.g., theme-structure,…

As discussed, there are a number of common arguments against the eliminative materialism’s claim. In this section, I will highlight and review a number of reasonable objections to eliminativism, such as the Commonsense Objections to eliminative materialism, which suggests that it is completely absurd or self-refuting. I will conclude that many of the arguments set forth by Eliminative Materialism, are not really convincing and that eliminativism needs to do more than simply show that FP is…

Movements in the Media This is not the first exploration of frames used by the media and individuals’ abilities to gain access to the news media. In 1998, Ryan, Carragee, and Schwerner explored how marginalized groups use news media for transmitting ideas that focus on political change and social justice issues to the public. In this study, Ryan, Carragee, and Schwerner conclude that through their analysis, that depending on the message, the frames given by the media differ (1998). In R.M.…
