Ontology

reasons why they think that way. Max Bense starts his essay by explaining two words, theodicy and ontology. As he explains, theodicy means “God as first cause, the ground to which all beings are related.” While ontology means “Man is the subject, the foundation, in relation to whom everything becomes intelligible and interpretable.” Then it seems like he thinks The metamorphosis is more of ontology than theodicy. For example, “real world no longer exists and which, accordingly, considers itself exempt

Introduction In the Introduction, the philosophy of quantum physics and the philosophy of educology will be characterized in respect to five established cultural aspects of philosophy , i.e. in respect to the aspects: (1) of ontology as philosophy of what exists, (2) of metaphysics as philosophy of what exists and is real, (3) of epistemology as philosophy of what knowledge is, (4) of logic as philosophy of inquiry entailing an epistemology, (5) of axiology philosophy of what value, and

is an interpretative one: the path to authentically grasping one’s own being requires first disregarding philosophical history regarding being and then understanding one’s own presuppositions. More fully, the phenomena that give rise to examining ontology must be analyzed, which means that one must not simply start with

participation” (p. 17). Moreover, shifts in power have produced social, economic, and environmental crises, and as a result, people are insisting upon practices of direct and participatory democracy (emphasis added). Next, they ground governance in ontology XXXX. Finally, in chapter 4, Stout and Love discuss the usefulness of a dialectical analysis an analytic frame to not only compare and contrast concepts but also construct ideal-types to explore anticipated implications. consisting

and derive common characteristics of the form. Using the pen example, all pens function as a writing utensil, usually contain some form of ink, and generally are cylindrical. Every pen is somewhat imperfect and has flaws of some sort. Regarding ontology, these forms are the highest level of reality and the purest form of existence, while the particulars are imperfect and cheap imitations. Regarding our senses, Plato believed that the world we live in, that is the world of particulars, is an illusion

their viscosity. Even simple objects are “hyper” to the extent that they are in or out of phase, not being exactly “equivalent to them” at any given time. Object-oriented ontology is a Heidegger-influenced idea of thought that rejects the privileging of human existence over the existence of nonhuman objects. Object-oriented ontology maintains that objects exist independently

Module 3.1 Think of a situation from your personal practice in which multiple ways of knowing were used.  Completely describe the situation and discuss how the different ways of knowing were used or demonstrated.  Use your readings to demonstrate your understanding, and to support your explanations of empirical, aesthetic, personal, and ethical knowledge.  Describe your clinical situation and the ways of knowing that were used. In the nursing profession we are able to use multiple ways of knowing

acclaimed as a very deep and important work not only in German speaking countries but also in Latin countries, where Phenomenology had already been popularised. It strongly influenced Jean-Paul Sartre (although, as with Husserl, Sartre's phenomenological ontology concentrated more upon consciousness than Heidegger believed was necessary). Despite his protestations, Heidegger was classed, on the strength of Being and Time as the leading atheistic Existentialist. However, the book received a colder reception

aims to provide an account of two different ontologies and suggests that his answer is the better answer to the ontological problem. Ontology deals with the question of what there is. The problem is understanding what the right answer is. In this response, I will explain Quine’s criterion of ontological commitment and his response to McX’s argument for the existence of universals. McX is a fictitious philosopher created for taking a position on an ontology different from his own. Simply put, Quine’s

government. In addition to the concept of rulers, we also studied the notion of authority and the moral and metaphysical implications of authority to individuals ' autonomy. Within each concept of study, we read works from many authors with conflicting ontologies, constructed from their differing views on human nature. Within the study of rulers, we read differing views from five different authors. The first author, Plato, wrote in his book, The Republic, that there are different levels of understanding
