	Pluralism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In the social sciences, pluralism is a framework of interaction in which groups show sufficient respect and tolerance of each other, that they fruitfully coexist and interact without conflict or assimilation.
		Pluralism is arguably one of the most important features of modern societies and social groups, and may be a key driver of progress in science, society and economic development.
		Examples of groups and situations where pluralism is important are: a firm, a political body and an economy, the scientific community.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy
		On moral philosophy, in the wide sense, have been grafted the philosophy of law, the philosophy of society, or social philosophy (which is much the same as sociology), and the philosophies of religion and of history.
		Philosophy is like a tower whence we obtain the panorama of a great city -- its plan, its monuments, its great arteries, with the form and location of each -- things which a visitor cannot discern while he goes through the streets and lanes, or visits libraries, churches, palaces, and museums, one after another.
		If philosophy is the explanation as a whole of that world which the particular sciences investigate in detail, it follows that the latter find their culmination in the former, and that as the sciences are so will philosophy be.

	Philosophy [encyclopedia]
		Philosophy differs from science, in that its questions cannot be answered empirically, by observation or experiment; and from religion, in that its purpose is entirely intellectual, and allows no role for faith or revelation.
		Philosophy is thus concerned with the common core of human knowledge and experience but also with the concepts, modes of argument, and foundations of other special subjects, so that there are, for example, philosophies of science, history, art (aesthetics), politics, and religion.
		Philosophy is the critical study of the most fundamental questions that humankind has been able to ask.

	Monism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Monism is to be distinguished from dualism, which holds that ultimately there are two kinds of substance, and from pluralism (philosophy of mind)pluralism, which holds that ultimately there are many kinds of substance.
		This monism was widely considered an advance over previous identity theories of mind and body, because it does ''not'' entail that one must be able to provide an actual method for redescribing any particular kind of mental entity in purely physical terms.
		It is part of the six Hindu systems of philosophy, based on the Upanishads, and posits that the ultimate monad is a formless, ineffable Divine Ground called Brahman.

	Stand to Reason Commentary - Pluralism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This kind of comment is so common and, on the surface, so reasonable, that to question it immediately brands you as some kind of religious fanatic, someone so blinded by his narrow-minded convictions that he has no tolerance for other's beliefs.
		To say someone is wrong is to be intolerant, to be close-minded and provincial, to be extreme and is impossible to reason with.
		This underscores the irrationality of this kind of pluralism, an irrationality that is based, I think, on an errant understanding of what it means for something to be true.

		Discussions in the philosophy of mind usually start off by assuming that everybody has always known how to divide the world into the mental and the physical-that this distinction is common-sensical and intuitive, even if that between two sorts of "stuff," material and immaterial, is philosophical and baffling.
		I was 21 and an upper-level philosophy undergrad at the University of Houston.
		American philosophy was going to stay logical and technically difficult; it would remain a professional field separate from--and, by and large, of little importance to--other kinds of inquiry.

		In philosophy of science, arguments by Wilfrid Sellars and W.V.O. Quine prompted many philosophers to reject the idea that the properties of our mental states are directly given to us.
		Stich's syntactic theory of mind, in contrast, is justified by the need to keep psychology autonomous (and thus not reducible to physics) (Haack 1993 pp.
		At one point Putnam was willing to consider the possibility that human minds were functionally equivalent to Turing machines, which meant that computer science was the functionally autonomous science of mind that could never be reduced or eliminated by any of the physical sciences.

		The third section examines the question of whether the existence of such an explanatory gap ought to be viewed as a problem from the perspective of philosophy of science--i.e., of whether some form of reduction has normative status in the sciences.
		Examination of recent work in philosophy of science yields the conclusion that local scientific domains (like biology and psychology) enjoy a great deal of autonomy, and their status is not dependent upon reducibility.
		It is argued cognitive pluralism can accept a very weak interpretation of PWS as a regimentation of modal discourse, but not a deeply realistic interpretation of universal quantification over worlds or states of affairs or propositions.

	The Philosophy of Mind and Metaphysics
		Since Descartes' discussion of the mind, theorists of all stripes have eagerly sought to explain its place in nature.
		In light of technological innovation and a firmer grasp of human psychology, we might wonder whether contemporary theorists (philosophers and psychologists as well as cognitive scientists, engineers, neuroscientists, etc.) are better able to solve the problems that vexed their predecessors.

		One alternative to both dualism and physicalism that Kim does not consider is pluralism.
		However, evidence from the history of science shows that we have not discovered the bridge laws that would be necessary to maintain deterministic links between micro and macrocausation, and thus we have no real decisive evidence from science that there is no emergent physical causality.
		Kim has shown us that if we are willing to say that causal properties emerge anywhere between quarks and minds, we have no reason to deny causal powers to minds.

	Neo-Confucian Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		"Neo-Confucianism" is the name commonly applied to the revival of the various strands of Confucian philosophy and political culture that began in the middle of the 9th Century and reached new levels of intellectual and social creativity in the 11th Century in the Northern Song Dynasty.
		Other thinkers would adopt, modify, challenge, transform and sometimes abandon Zhu’s philosophy and his narrative of the development of the tradition; nonetheless, it is Zhu’s version of the Confucian Way that became the paradigm for all future Neo-Confucian discourse for either positive affirmation or negative evaluation.
		While it was perfectly clear that Zhu never taught that the emotions per se were evil or entirely negative, he did teach that the emotions needed to be properly and carefully cultivated in terms of the conformity of the emotional life to the life of principle.
