Category List --- Religion-Online.org This article explores some of the implications for process philosophy of a new approach to brain psychology and the dynamics of the mental state -- microgenetic theory -- that has developed out of the study of symptoms in neurological cases. The author seeks to correct some weaknesses in Ariel’s article ("Recent Empirical Disconfirmation of Whitehead’s Relativity Theory") and to caution against too hasty a rejection of Whitehead’s theory of relativity (and with it his philosophy of nature) as a viable and living alternative to Einstein’s proposal. The author offers a listing of Hartshorne’s achievements and difficulties, and concludes that his philosophy does not capture the living waters of experience. www.religion-online.org /listbycategory.asp?Cat=109

Style: A short guide to the theory of the sublime Theoretical problems with the sublime as a research category in linguistics are complicated by the fact that we have only one archetypical text of the sublime--PseudoLonginos' treatise--containing examples taken mainly from literature (broadly understood). Similarly, the father of the twentieth-century renaissance of the sublime, Lyotard, employs this category as a tool to describe abstract painting. Among the most stimulating contemporary pronouncements on the subject of the sublime is an interpretation of the phenomenon of violence in mass culture that refers to the notion of "the aesthetics of the sublime" (Crowther, Critical Aesthetics 129-30). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2342/is_4_36/ai_98167921   (1403 words)

Contemporary philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term contemporary philosopher refers not just to figures who are alive, but also those who died within the past three decades, irrespective of when their major philosophy works were written or when their work was most popular. Contemporary philosophy is sometimes divided into analytic philosophy and continental philosophy. The editors of this article have therefore chosen to identify the two dominant styles in contemporary philosophy as "analytical philosophy" and "phenomenological/structuralist/post-structuralist philosophy". en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Contemporary_philosophy   (284 words)

Free will - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In emergentist or generative philosophy of cognitive science and evolutionary psychology, free will is the generation of near-infinite possible behaviours from the interaction of a finite, deterministic set of rules and parameters. Free will is therefore discussed at length in Jewish philosophy, firstly as regards God's purpose in creation, and secondly as regards the closely related, resultant, paradox. John Locke, in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding stated that to call will "free" is to commit oneself to a category mistake: en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Free_will   (6386 words)

Object (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On this account, properties and relations (as well as propositions) are not included among objects, but are explicitly contrasted with them, as falling into a different logical category. In further restricted senses, objects are often just the material objects (excluding minds), or even just the inanimate material objects (the protons and electrons we are made of, but not we ourselves). Objects are often treated as types of particulars, but occasionally, philosophers see fit to speak of abstract objects — Platonic forms would be an example. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Abstract_object   (317 words)

Continental Feminism For those continental feminists who hold sex to be an entirely constructed category, upon which sexual injustice rests and depends, forming a sexually just society and politics demands the radical deconstruction of sex and sexuality. A persistent move within continental feminism is the discussion of the depth of male bias within the field of philosophy (and within the subfield of continental philosophy). Part of continental's philosophy persistent critique of modern, Enlightenment thought was the latter's insistence upon defining the human being primarily in terms of intellectual or cognitive capacities. plato.stanford.edu /entries/femapproach-continental   (14159 words)

Structuralism, Category Theory and Philosophy of Mathematics It is a significant theory that has much to offer for both the philosophy and foundations of mathematics, for category theory's primary concern is with the explication of mathematical structure. Category theory is the language best suited for this type of representation because it avoids the incommensurability problems which result from the Tarskian semantics essential to mathematical logic and model- theory for which satisfaction relations and truth definitions can only be defined for a specific language and the structure used to explicate the semantics. Category theory furnishes such a formulation through the concept of topos, and its formal counterpart, local set theory.[Bell,238] Any topos may be regarded as a mathematical domain of discourse or 'world' in which mathematical concepts can be interpreted and mathematical constructions performed. www.mmsysgrp.com /strctcat.htm   (7237 words)

Theology Today - Vol 22, No. 3 - October 1965 - ARTICLE - God Without Theism When applied to God, as has been the practice with theism, this philosophy speaks of him as being, the supreme being; and in such practice, being or God has itself been made into an ultimate category in terms of substance. Substance philosophy holds that reality consists of discrete or separate substances or things, whether static or dynamic, that are real in themselves and need no explanation in terms of anything else. The eternal purpose is not some unknowable and superfluous being itself which sanctifies substance philosophy, not some personality with only external relations to the world, not some extremely refined aspect of cosmic process. theologytoday.ptsem.edu /oct1965/v22-3-article5.htm   (2515 words)

Category Theory On the one hand, it is certainly the task of philosophy to clarify the general epistemological status of category theory and, in particular, its foundational status. For it is in his thesis that Lawvere proposed the idea of developing the category of categories as a foundation for category theory, set theory and, thus, the whole of mathematics, as well as using categories for the study of theories, that is the logical aspects of mathematics. Category theory reveals that many of these constructions are in fact special cases of objects in a category with what is called a "universal property". plato.stanford.edu /entries/category-theory   (7029 words)

Foundations Study Guide: Philosophy of Mathematics -- Objectivist Center -- Reason, Individualism, Achievement, and Freedom Thus, an area that an Objectivist philosophy of mathematics must address is the meaning and structure of measurement in the measurement omission theory; this subfield of the philosophy of mathematics might be called the mathematics of philosophy. The philosophy of mathematics is the philosophical study of the concepts and methods of mathematics. Mathematics is the substance of thought writ large, as the West has been told from Pythagoras to Bertrand Russell; it does provide a unique window into human nature. ios.org /articles/foundations_phil-of-mathematics.asp   (1796 words)

Category Theory Given that most of philosophy of mathematics of the last 50 years or so has been done under the assumption that mathematics is more or less set theory in disguise, the retreat of set theory in favor of category theory would necessarily have an important impact on philosophical thinking.

20th WCP: An Ecological Organic Paradigm: A Framework of Analysis for Moral and Political Philosophy The organic paradigm was thus eventually replaced in moral and political philosophy primarily by the concept of the social contract, which begins with the premise that all persons are born free and equal in a state of nature. As a category of analysis, it is meant to accommodate both religious concepts of the soul and secular concepts of the self. Lennox, James G. "Darwin was a Teleologist."

Ephilosopher :: Logic and Formal Reasoning :: Iterating modalities in counterpart theory is it better to have a single general category 'concrete' which consists of more specific types of entities rather than to have two general categories 'concrete' and 'abstract' which consists of less specific types of entities. Those who do not care for philosophy, but engage in ordinary studies are like the suitors, who wanted Penelope, but slept with her handmaids.
