Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus Look, so, nothing matters, right? Shit's fucking weird. We all want to know how the universe ultimately works or who's running the show or whatever, and it turns out - TRICK. So what do we do? Sisyphus, same thing. So, to embrace the absurd, you have to acknowledge that life is absurd and live it anyway. Tim van Gelder Supervenience First published Mon Jul 25, 2005; substantive revision Wed Nov 2, 2011 A set of properties A supervenes upon another set B just in case no two things can differ with respect to A-properties without also differing with respect to their B-properties. In slogan form, “there cannot be an A-difference without a B-difference”. As we shall see, this slogan can be cashed out in many different ways. But to illustrate the basic idea, imagine that there is a perfect forger. The properties that the forgery is guaranteed to share with the original are those that supervene upon its microphysical properties. Supervenience is a central notion in analytic philosophy. 1. The core idea of supervenience is captured by the slogan, “there cannot be an A-difference without a B-difference.” We will begin with a few brief historical remarks (Section 2), and then turn to some general questions about supervenience, such as whether it is explanatory and whether it is guarantees entailment (Section 3). 2. 3.

Metaphysics Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it,[1] although the term is not easily defined.[2] Traditionally, metaphysics attempts to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms:[3] Ultimately, what is there?What is it like? Prior to the modern history of science, scientific questions were addressed as a part of metaphysics known as natural philosophy. Etymology[edit] However, once the name was given, the commentators sought to find intrinsic reasons for its appropriateness. There is a widespread use of the term in current popular literature which replicates this understanding, i.e. that the metaphysical equates to the non-physical: thus, "metaphysical healing" means healing by means of remedies that are not physical.[8] Central questions[edit] Cosmology and cosmogony[edit] Cosmogony deals specifically with the origin of the universe. Determinism and free will[edit] [edit] [edit] [edit]
Dualisme (philosophie de l'esprit) Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Pour les articles homonymes, voir Dualisme. En philosophie, le dualisme se réfère à une vision de la relation matière-esprit fondée sur l'affirmation que les phénomènes mentaux possèdent des caractéristiques qui sortent du champ de la physique[1]. La version la plus connue du dualisme a été formalisée en 1641 par René Descartes qui a soutenu que l'esprit était une substance immatérielle. Descartes fut le premier à assimiler clairement l'esprit à la conscience, et à le distinguer du cerveau, qui est selon lui le support de l’intelligence. Illustration du dualisme par René Descartes. Platon explique clairement dans le Phédon que les Formes sont les universalia ante rem, c'est-à-dire qu’elles sont des concepts (ou idées) universels, rendant intelligible l’ensemble du monde phénoménal. Descartes lui-même a peiné pour obtenir une réponse cohérente à ce problème. 1.
How Famous Companies Got Their Names Ever wondered about how famous brands got their names from? Here are a couple of explanations. Via Philosophy of science Philosophy of science is a branch of philosophy concerned with the foundations, methods, and implications of science. The central questions concern what counts as science, the reliability of scientific theories, and the purpose of science. This discipline overlaps with metaphysics, ontology and epistemology, for example, when it explores the relationship between science and truth. While the relevant history of philosophy dates back at least to Aristotle, philosophy of science emerged as a distinct discipline only in the middle of the 20th century in the wake of logical positivism, a movement that aimed to formulate criteria to ensure all philosophical statements' meaningfulness and objectively assess them. Today, some thinkers seek to ground science in axiomatic assumptions such as the uniformity of nature. Introduction[edit] Defining science[edit] Karl Popper c. 1980s Distinguishing between science and non-science is referred to as the demarcation problem. Scientific explanation[edit]
Epistemology Philosophical study of knowledge The school of skepticism questions the human ability to attain knowledge while fallibilism says that knowledge is never certain. Empiricists hold that all knowledge comes from sense experience, whereas rationalists believe that some knowledge does not depend on it. Coherentists argue that a belief is justified if it coheres with other beliefs. Foundationalists, by contrast, maintain that the justification of basic beliefs does not depend on other beliefs. Internalism and externalism debate whether justification is determined solely by mental states or also by external circumstances. Separate branches of epistemology focus on knowledge in specific fields, like scientific, mathematical, moral, and religious knowledge. Early reflections on the nature, sources, and scope of knowledge are found in ancient Greek, Indian, and Chinese philosophy. Epistemology explores how people should acquire beliefs. .
