In this paper, I will consider whether experiences of secondary qualities can fit into the theoretical framework of functionalism. I will begin this discussion by thoroughly explicating functionalism and the threat posed to it by secondary qualities. I will then consider Nida-Rümelin’s inverted qualia argument and will contend that it employs a false conception of color perception. Finally, I will argue that experiences of secondary qualities may be analyzed through the functionalist model only after

There are certain beliefs about the world that we can conclude to be absolutely true. For Moore, these beliefs are Common Sense. It is our basic view and common sense of the world that is correct. Moore believes that you have to be justified in what you believe, and common sense is an adequate way of justifying those beliefs.

This triggered my thoughts to relate that case to my own faith and how I am able to retain my belief that God exists, against the deposition that he does not. No matter how many tests the Sceptic requested to prove that there was a gardener, the Believer maintained his faith until his belief that there was a gardener was basically useless.

In order to determine if something is false, we must first establish what the truth is. The knowledge issue this brings up is: How do we know if absolute truth exists, and if it doesn’t what type of truth does exist?

that happen in our lives, they are lessons nonetheless. We have to be open to the difficulty to truly be open to what it is we are meant to learn. Living by the belief that everything happens for a reason, can be frustrating while going through a hard time, but it can also be helpful. Going through life, I have always been unsure of my beliefs on religion. I was brought up in a semi-religious home, my mother was raised catholic, and my father Lutheran.

Projectionist theories often appear to disprove religion; despite this many devout believers cling to faith while knowing about them. Marx, Feuerbach, and Freud contribute three significant ideas to projectionism.
