Ockhams Rasiermesser
Wilhelm von Ockham – Skizze aus einem Summa logicae -Manuskript von 1341 mit der Inschrift frater Occham iste Ockhams Rasiermesser (auch Prinzip der Parsimonie , lex parsimoniae oder Sparsamkeitsprinzip ) ist ein heuristisches Forschungsprinzip aus der Scholastik , das bei der Bildung von erklärenden Hypothesen und Theorien Sparsamkeit gebietet. Es findet noch heute Anwendung in der Wissenschaftstheorie und der wissenschaftlichen Methodik . Steht man vor der Wahl mehrerer möglicher Erklärungen für dasselbe Phänomen, soll man diejenige bevorzugen, die mit der geringsten Anzahl an Hypothesen auskommt und somit die „einfachste“ Theorie darstellt.
Allegory of the Cave
Plato realizes that the general run of humankind can think, and speak, etc., without (so far as they acknowledge) any awareness of his realm of Forms. The allegory of the cave is supposed to explain this. In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave. Behind them burns a fire.

The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato 's dialogue Euthyphro , in which Socrates asks Euthyphro , "Is the pious ( τὸ ὅσιον ) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?" ( 10a ) The dilemma has had a major effect on the philosophical theism of the monotheistic religions , but in a modified form: "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?"

Contents Contents | rgb Home | Philosophy Home | Axioms | Other Books by rgb: | The Book of Lilith | Axioms is a work that explores the true nature of human knowledge, in particular the fundamental nature of deductive and inductive reasoning. It begins by embracing Hume's Skepticism and Descartes' one ``certain'' thing, and then looking for a way out of the solipsistic hell this leaves one in in terms of ``certain'' knowledge. Indeed, to the extent that philosophy in the past has sought to provide certain answers to virtually any question at all, philosophy itself proves to be bullshit - all philosophical arguments ultimately come back to at least one unprovable premise, usually unstated, and can be refuted by simply asserting ``I don't agree with your premises.'' The way out is to give up the idea of certain knowledge.

March 29, 2010 People who scored high on a test that measures impulsive and antisocial traits had exaggerated brain responses to certain “rewards,” like winning money or taking stimulant drugs. The new study provides evidence that a dysfunctional brain reward system may underlie vulnerability to a personality disorder known as psychopathy. Impulsive and antisocial personality traits correlate with amphetamine-induced dopamine release (red and yellow) in the brain. Image by Buckholtz et al. Psychopathy is characterized by a combination of superficial charm, manipulative and antisocial behavior, impulsivity, blunted empathy and shallow emotional experiences.
