The metaphysical view of reality that I support is from a monist position. Monism isbelieving that everything in the universe is one kind or type. To be more specific, the viewwithin monism that I believe to be true is materialism. This is defined in our textbook TheEnduring Questions by Jerry H. Hill as a "belief that reality is composed exclusively ofmatter and its patterns of organization." In other words, it is a view that everything thatactually exists is material, or physical. What it means to say something is material is that itis extended in space. In an article titled "Philosophical Materialism," Richard C. Vitzthumclaims that "materialism has always inferred its theories from the

This is in contrast with another view, that of endurantism, that is based on three dimensionality: objects are described in having only a spatial extension, and therefore they “persist over time by being wholly present at each time at which they exist”.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Ney, Alyssa, Metaphysics: an Introduction, cit. p. 174. ]

He believed death to be just as significant as life, and too truly understand one's existence death has to be considered. Humans beings however, fear the idea of death, at least from Heidegger’s perspective. Instead of embracing death as part of our existence we chose to dwell. To dwell means to live in or at a specified place, a place one feels safe and free from anxiety, and death is a threat to that feeling of security. Heidegger viewed this fear or angst as a metaphysical issue, one that enables us to only care about being. If this was true and humans really lived in constant

Following these demonstration he concludes that we are morally responsible for our actions. He argues that chance is the only explanation for an accident. There cannot be a definite cause for an accident (Metaphysics, Book V, 1025a25). In the absence of indefinite (uncaused) causes, all occurrences would occur necessarily (Metaphysics, Book VI, 1027a29).

His Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals devotes a great deal of time to this assertion, and also provides an explanation of the prerequisite concepts needed for its full comprehension.Kant begins his Grounding by asserting a definition of reason which may seem alien to many. He argues that rational, thinking beings are provided with the faculty of reason not, as has been thought by many, to help attain our desires, such as happiness. Nor, says Kant, is reason meant to serve as a guide for the will. The possibilities and consequences of the world of action are myriad

Aiding and abetting one another in the conceptualization and prioritization of worldly endeavours, structuralism in its sociological, anthropological, and linguistic contexts equally apply to its succedent counterpart; authoritarian hierarchy. When called into question Adam Raposa’s metaphysics lie as the roots for his politics, ethics, and epistemology.

The realm of metaphysics attempts to answer some of the most fundamental and basic of questions. These are the types of quests that do not have just one answer, but actually a multitude of plausible answers. Depending on the person - who you are, what you have, and what you believe in - the answers to the fundamental questions can change. The key things here is that nobody can prove to you without a doubt that you are wrong.One topic of metaphysics that there is much discussion over is the topic of reality. How do we know that something truly is "real?" According to the American Heritage College Dictionary, "real" is defined as "being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verifiable

He made a significant contribution to conversations on language, logic, and metaphysics and the way we should live in the world.

For one to become edified on Deontology Ethics, it is quintessential for one to be acquainted on the Kantian notions of “The Good Will” and “Acting from the Motive of Duty”. I will begin this section by explaining the main tenants of the Kantian “Good Will” and the “Motive of Duty”.

William James proposed a dual process theory regarding cognitive psychology explaining how a person processes information. Dual process theory divides the processing of information into two pathways. One is a processing path that is very fast, it is automatic and also involuntary. It occurs unconsciously and out of the person’s control and the processing itself is automatic and lacking precise specifics and settings. The other is a processing path

The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

How has genetic engineering worked until now, and what are the limitations?
Generally it uses what’s known as a bacterial vector. In simple terms, you take the stretch of DNA you want to insert into an organism – say, for example, the DNA that makes a carrot produce vitamin A.
