	Brute Statements are kickass.
		If we accept brute statements as an acceptable form of explanation (as it seems we must), then the answer to Nozick’s bigger question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” has a very simple answer.
		This leaves us with brute statements as the only acceptable form of explanation.
		Even more important than this contradiction, there is the fact that Nozick does not eliminate brute facts with self-subsumption.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dogmatic Fact
		By a dogmatic fact, in wider sense, is meant any fact connected with a dogma and on which the application of the dogma to a particular case depends.
		In the strict sense, therefore, a dogmatic fact may be defined as "the orthodox or heterodox meaning of a book or proposition"; or as a "fact that is so connected with dogma that a knowledge of the fact is necessary for teaching and conserving sound doctrine".
		The precise authorship of a book is called a personal fact.

		and the fact that the sequence in which the operation is performed doesn't quite match the doctor's explanation of what is to happen (such elements as the laborious efforts to disconnect and reconnect muscles and blood vessels are skipped over).
		FACT membership benefits include regular issues of The F.A.C.T. Sheet, occasional issues of the Hugo-winning Texas SF Inquirer, and the opportunity to participate in many social events (see the “Upcoming Events” column).

	A
		Individuals may be unaware of social facts and generally accept them.
		Durkheim distinguishes social facts from psychological, biological, or economic facts by noting that these are social and rooted in group sentiments and values.
		Normal social facts are the most widely distributed and useful social facts, assisting in the maintenance of society and social life.

	The Rules of Sociological Method (1895)
		Because the essential trait of social facts is their external coercive power, Durkheim first suggested that they could be recognized by the existence of some predetermined legal sanction or, in the case of moral and religious beliefs, by their reaction to those forms of individual belief and action which they perceived as threatening.
		Social facts which are "pathological," by contrast, would be those encountered only in a minority of cases, and only for brief periods in the lifetime of the individual even where they occur.
		Durkheim's "social fact" thus proved to be a conveniently elastic concept, covering the range from the most clearly delineated features of social structure (e.g., population size and distribution) to the most spontaneous currents of public opinion and enthusiasm.

	Searle, John. The Construction of Social Reality. New York: Free Press, 1995. Pp. xiii+241
		"The secret to understand the continued existence of institutional facts is simply that the individuals directly involved and a sufficient number of members of the relevant community must continue to recognize and accept the existence of such facts" (117).
		Brute facts exist independently of human cognition and they are the paradigmatic component of nature, whereas institutional facts depend on human cognition for their existence, and are the paradigmatic component of social reality.
		The distinction between institutional and social facts is that only the former is accompanied by the imposition of a function related to the transmission of power.

		It is possible that their interaction is just a brute fact like gravity; or perhaps the limitation is merely epistemic.
		It could just be a brute fact that when you get a working brain a mind appears, and these two causally interact.
		The latter demanded that the facts fit the theory, while the essence of science is supposed to be that we make our theories fit the observed facts.

	WIBTW - Finite Personalities
		Additionally, if a finite personal being began at a particular point in time to exist, would this being not be required simply to accept the validity of its Reason as a brute fact of its existence?
		Whether the ultimate brute fact is the universe in the sense of its composite energy/matter, or it is God, something simply has to have always existed.
		This fact is usually not noticed because it is assumed that since God would be a very powerful personal being, this somehow implies he could have the power to create other finite personal beings.

	98-2188.DOC
		The test is whether this court can conclude that the trier of fact could, acting reasonably, be convinced of the person's guilt by evidence it had a right to believe and accept as true.
		If any possibility exists that the trier of fact could have drawn the appropriate inferences from the evidence adduced at trial to find the requisite guilt, an appellate court may not overturn the verdict even if it believes that the trier of fact should not have found guilt based on the evidence before it.
		In reviewing evidence to challenge a finding of fact, this court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the finding, and if more than one reasonable inference can be drawn from the evidence, the inference which supports the finding is th e one that we must adopt.

		In fact, German physicist Max Planck said science only advances because older scientists refuse to accept new findings, but eventually die off.

		In fact, he is unwilling to accept the decisions of the courts of this State.
		Although the mistake of law defense was subsequently deleted from section 218 by the legislature, the Commentary on the original proposal is still helpful in shedding some light on the rationale for the mistake of fact defense.
		By asserting the mistake of fact defense, the defendant emphasized the State's burden to prove that he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly remained on the premises without license, invitation, or privilege.

		FACT also directs merchants and other parties that accept payment cards to truncate the account numbers on point-of-sale receipts given to account holders and not to show card expiration dates on the receipts.
		Also, FACT requires that a consumer who has an extended fraud alert on his or her consumer credit report file be excluded for five years from lists used to make prescreened offers of credit or insurance, unless the consumer requests otherwise.
		FACT directs the FRB, FTC, and other appropriate federal agencies to jointly establish guidelines for use in identifying patterns, practices, and forms of activity that indicate possible identity theft—so called "red flag" guidelines and regulations.

	Evolution: "Theory" or "Fact"?
		In fact corrections (e.g., for the fact that the sun is not exactly spherical) had been found to explain all but 43 seconds of arc per century, but the observations were sufficiently precise that this was an unacceptable discrepancy.
		The statement that "evolution is a fact" has become an undisputed cultural truism for many, but anyone outside that culture will not be so charitable as to accept the statement at face value.
		A fact is the conclusion that one reaches after considering overwhelmingly strong evidence.

	Lightstructures of the Helladic Period
		The fact that lightstructures may have existed in the Classical Greek period from 480 BC onwards is irrelevant if we accept that Homer was working in the Archaic period, and himself referring to a period 500 years earlier than that.
		We are faced with the inevitable conclusion that around 1,300 BC, in the region of Troy and the Hellespont, the inhabitants of the region were using lightstructures as navigational aids.
		Piraeus was inside the great fortified area of ancient Athens, and it is quite likely that the Athenians, relying heavily upon the use of sea power in their struggles for dominance of the Aegean and Black Sea areas, also used lightstructures for navigational purposes.

	Judgement on Motions for Acquittal Pursuant to Rule 98 bis
		The capacity of the prosecution evidence (if accepted) to sustain a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt by a reasonable trier of fact is the key concept; thus the test is not whether the trier would in fact arrive at a conviction beyond reasonable doubt on the prosecution evidence (if accepted) but whether it could.
		in that no trier of fact could accept the evidence relied upon by the Prosecution to maintain its case on a particular issue.
		A reasonable trier of fact could consequently also conclude that Dragan Jokic was a member of this joint criminal enterprise, and that he participated in the execution and furthering of its common design with the mental state required for the crimes charged in Counts 2-5 of the Indictment.

	Aesthetic Realism and Beatrix Potter's 'Peter Rabbit' / Wonder and 'Matter-of-Fact' Meet
		So, on the next page, when we see the rabbits standing up like children with their capes on, it seems perfectly natural, and we accept the strange as fact.
		And there is strangeness, too, in the fact that these rabbits have names and are in a domestic situation.
		Her use of the precise outlines and the soft, transparent washes of watercolor also puts together the contained and the expansive, fact and wonder.

	Axis History Forum :: View topic - Revisionism
		Revisionnism is then the way to progress in history, while the cult and defense of prefabricated interpretations is negationism, refusal to accept basic facts, avoiding this way the need of analysis and reflexion which would eventualy open way to a deconstruction of the desired ideology.
		In fact in such a case, the negationnist must accept that the main fact exists, let's say Hutus have been killed, but he discuss the secondary fact to bring doubt on the main fact.
		But the propaganda has exploited these burnings and killings, and then negationism was used to nrgate the facts, on the side of the germans, and negate the explanations on the side of the Allied forces.

	James McClellan - Theoretical and Practical Reasoning: An Intractable Dualism?
		In the midst of a pleasant conversation, Tortoise mentions another race which would seem to be brief but in fact consists of an infinite number of steps and can never be completed.
		For tortoises, at least on the evidence before us, have no rational compulsion to accept the conclusion of a valid argument just because they accept its premises.
		T-reasoning, as the expression is used here, is the exercise of that rational compulsion which requires us to jump from A and B to Z, even as we acknowledge that those of a different kind, feeling no compulsion to go there, might never be brought by further steps to accept that conclusion.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		By summer most of the League powers had concluded that they could only accept as a fact the extinction of Ethiopian sovereignty, and the Assembly agreed that sanctions against Italy should be suspended as of July 15.
		But the effect of these actions was softened by an offer to France of a bilateral pact in which Germany would agree to limit its army to 300,000 men and its air force to 50 percent of that of France and to accept some measure of international control.
		Although this episode was frequently cited later as an instance in which firmness by the other powers had forced Hitler to back down, the fact was that the crisis was illusory.

	socialcontractgoodbad1
		Modern contractarians accept without question that most of the social and political institutions which interest them are not in fact the upshot of any contract or agreement among those whose lives they affect.
		They are happy to repudiate ideas like the state of nature and the original contract as historical hypotheses, to regard them, in Robert Nozick's phrase, as 'fact-defective' characterizations, and to accept that the actual evolution of political society probably took an entirely different course from the one the contract image suggests.
		The fact that both contractarians and anticontractarians fail to justify political obligation (understood as a self-assumed obligation) is nothing new; the anarchists have argued similarly for a long time.

	HELLENISTIC INFLUENCES ON HASMONEAN ATTITUDES TOWARDS GRAVEN IMAGES AND SILVER SHEKELS OF TYRE - by Ronn Berrol
		The fact that the Hasmoneans did not have to mint their own silver coinage allowed this precious silver to be used to maximize the economic power of the temple and the Priests.
		While the more pious Jews would not be swayed to accept Melqart’s graven image on coins, stories such as Josephus’s might have allowed less religious Jews to more readily accept Melqart’s image on the shekel of Tyre.
		We might hypothesize that the good relations with Tyre, the fact that the Tyrians had gained autonomy from the hated Seleucids, and the fact that the Tyrians did not try to import their own religious ideals, made the shekel of Tyre palatable to the Jews.

		The council of the receiving municipality must accept this responsibility if the transfer is of major significance to the integration process of the refugee concerned or warranted by special personal circumstances.
		When re-considering the case, City C municipal authority attached weight to the fact that suitable housing had been provided for the couple in the municipality they wanted to leave.
		The Government's action plan for improved integration, published on 10 February 2000, contains a proposal for this trial scheme to be made permanent this in dispite of the fact that the four year trail period is not over and dispite the fact that there has not been made an evaluation of this trail scheme

	Chris Shields' article "Simple Souls"
		That is, Plato accepts, and indeed can only accept, the fact of akrasia because he comes to reject the simplicity of the soul in favor of a composite view.
		Indeed, it seems more than compatible: if in fact every soul does everything it does on account of the good, then it seems that it fails to meet its end only because of a cognitive confusion, because it is, as Plato here says, perplexed.
		That is, one could accept a bi- or tri-partite psychology without countenancing the possibility of akrasia.

		There was no Michael Moore, but to your point that there are always politics, at least with a small “p” in these ceremonies, I was struck by the fact that Errol Morris did in fact win for documentary for this very political movie about Vietnam, now 40 years later.
		In fact, they had a little segment at the beginning of the Oscar entertainment where they showed Michael Moore getting stepped on by an elephant-like monster from “Lord of the Rings,” and people applauded with that.
