Traditional logic

This therefore means that the narrative lens can accommodate all scenarios of communication, even those that may not fall under a narrative when defined by traditional literary requirements. The legitimacy of a story can be distinguished by individuals through what is termed as narrative rationality by Fisher. Rationality is based upon two aspects: fidelity and coherence (Millar & Heath, 2003). By definition,…

Descartes insists that we might not have any surety in our knowledge. He concludes that reality as we know it is false, and we are ultimately deceived. This is interesting because there is no way to prove we can determine whether this is true or false logic. The claim has no intent on changing our daily actions, our moral beliefs, or our role in the universe, but is intended to bring us into open-mindedness. If we allow ourselves to accept the plausibility of our true being in reality, then we…

this means everything God has revealed in the Bible." Reason must be distinguished, The object of reason means all that reason can know. This includes three kinds of things, corresponding to the "three acts of the mind" in classical Aristotelian logic. It means all the truths that can be (a) understood by reason (that is, by human reason alone without faith in divine revelation), (b) discovered by human reason to be true and (c) proved logically, without any premises assumed by faith in…

Origins of Philosophy What is “stuff” made of? From where and from whom does “stuff” come into existence? These were most likely the types of questions the very first philosophers of the West asked. 6th century BCE is estimated to be the time when early Greek philosophers began to take the first steps forward to questioning topics that were often noted as dogmatic (Stumpf 3). Western philosophy took questions about the universe, world, and everything inside of it and searched for a reasonable…

not suggested to apply this fallacy in doing a research over a scientific topic. In the process of researching, people should try to collect as much evidence as possible to prove. The Occam Razor fallacy shall never takes the place of observation, logic and scientific method. In this way, it is almost…

logical, sensible way whereas imagination is the faculty or action of forming new ideas, images, or concepts of external objects not present to the senses. Reasoning can be either deductive or inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning, or the top-down logic, proceeds from a general premise to a specific one…

key attributes of God that are strongly believed by Theists, as follows, 1-God is omnipotent. 2-God is wholly good. Although it is claimed by many of non-religious philosophers that there is no evidence of God 's existence, however, adding the traditional belief i.e, "there are some evil", as the third proposition to above statements 1 and 2 brings, even more, irrationality in those propositions, Mackie says in (Mackie, 1955). He claims that there is an inconsistency in these propositions…

Is It Interesting, Interesting Enough? To use Murray Davis' own premise, I will deny his assumption of what makes a theory interesting. Undoubtedly, his major point throughout the essay is that denying an old theory is a stepping stone for a new theory to becoming interesting. In other words, the concept of interesting correlates with refuting a previous theory: behaviorism was a response to psychoanalysis; cognitive a response to behaviorism; Marxism a response to industrialization. In these…

Including Indigenous content in the subject of science can seem like a complicated task for teachers and there is sometimes the question of how to avoid tokenism in the teachings because as teachers we do not want to include Indigenous content in a way that is lacking in awareness of actual Indigenous knowledges in science. A good start to not making Indigenous knowledges not seem like tokenism when teaching it is to look at the two sciences and to not to treat them like they are binaries.…

In 2010 a major box office hit was Toy Story 3. With its Pixar tile and multiple awards for animation, Toy Story 3 became an American classic. A key factor that makes Pixar films so endearing to movie patrons are its stunning and punctilious animations. Pixar tends to leave conspicuous “Easter Eggs,” or references to past and future movies, to be discovered by audiences. For example, Pizza Planet truck from the original Toy Story is referenced in every Pixar film at least once. With this, many…
