general agreement concerning every scientific investigation, which should proceed in full consciousness from a specific starting point that in theology is the ontological Trinity. Kuyper acknowledges that around the epistemological investigation of the phenomena, there is a particular area of common territory without methodological dispute between the believer and the unbeliever. Thus, according to Kuyper’s view, there are three territories in which both the believers and unbelievers’ interpretation
perspectives on the relationship between mind and body, and God and free will. Maria, there is no fast way to explain all of this as this takes time, so please brace yourself as I hope to provide you with a better understanding of the agreements/similarities and disagreements/differences between the two philosophers’. Similarities Descartes and Spinoza do relate with one another in some instances but they have very few similarities between making the connection between mind and body. Their shared views
promoting critical thinking and encouraging an obligation to one's fellow inquirer. As such the concept of COI attempts to address contemporary challenges to education to produce better thinkers and more caring members of society who can tolerate differences at the same time they can submit conflicts to reasonable scrutiny. In a COI all participants must respect one another as thoughtful persons who seek communally to better understand the issue at hand. In describing the COI as central to philosophical
education it has long been held that the child negotiates a series of stages before reaching the mature status of an adult. Recent theory has reflected critically on the various posited developmental schema, which are now regarded less commonly as ontological stages through which a child inevitably passes, with privileged and clearly defined goals at the end. Rather, they are understood as logical types representing alternative modalities or structures of interaction which can cohere simultaneously in
assert the value of human life as such. Leaving aside differences in ideology as well as specifically staked-out theoretical positions, no one doubts the relevance of the category of person or challenges it as the unexamined and incontrovertible presupposition of every possible perspective. This tacit convergence with regard to the category of person is especially obvious in a hotly debated field like bioethics. Truth be told, the debate between Catholics and secularists turns on the precise moment

In other words, Orientalism creates, through the binary opposition between the East and West, a means for dealing and understanding the Orient, and western self-understanding through opposing itself against the “Other.” (Said, 1978
similarity can be recognized among sectors; yet at what point is there an epistemological/ontological flaw? McCauley and Hughes give their impression: Because the nonprofit sector has some unique characteristics, we cannot necessarily generalize research results on corporate managers to managers in this sector. Nonprofit organizations' missions, governance structures, funding sources, and reliance on volunteers create differences in their internal dynamic and external relationships.3 This "generalized
against empiricism, as it is more than merely empirical. Giorgi (1997, p. 236) Giorgi (1995) discusses what phenomenology can offer the science of psychology. He describes qualitative inquiry techniques as arising in reaction to a discrepancy between the natural scientific framework (adopted by psychologists as being the only scientific framework that is considered useful), and the essential characteristics of human phenomena as they spontaneously unfold in everyday life. He argues that because

To date there has been an attempt to integrate professional and legal regulation of the discipline with considerable cooperation between those involved. There was, in the United States in the 1920s, in keeping with the spirit of the times, tremendous optimism leading to the widespread purchasing of shares (stock) in companies. Shares were purchased like many other commodities rather
What Makes a Social Class? On The Theoretical and Practical Existence Of Groups* By Pierre BoQrdieu It would be easy and tempting to deride the topic of this symposium and to uncover the presuppositions it conceals under its apparent neutrality. But if you will allow me just one criticism of the way it formulates the question of social class, it is that it misleads one to believe that this problem can be reduced to a simple choice and resolved by a few common-sense arguments. In fact, behind the
