Ontology

medical implants (2009). What of humans using an artificial vision system to regain sight after going blind? What of humans having an artificial robotic arm after an accident? These are real-life situations where humans and non-humans are made one entity. Therefore, it will be preposterous to think that this human and non-human divide is relevant in the contemporary time. So, with the examples illustrated above, it will be out of place to assume that humans are separable from non-humans because the

Participants in the debate about `ontological commitment' would benefit from distinguishing two different ways of understanding the notion. If the question at issue is `what is said to be' by a theory or `what a theory says there is', we are debating `explicit' commitment, while if we ask about the ontological costs or preconditions of the truth of a theory, we enquire into `implicit' commitment. I defend a conception of ontological commitment as implicit commitment; I also develop and defend an

of God but no claim can be proven one-hundred percent true. When it come to philosophers their arguments on whether God exist, usually are composed from either the epistemology or ontology branch. According to Fundamentals of Philosophy by David Stewart ; Epistemology deals with the theory of knowledge. While ontology is concerned with the state of nature in which human beings operates from. David Humus is a philosopher who never believed a God ever existed the views he had can be considered

his theories of Consciousness and secondly, I will talk about how they developed in response to the work of other philosophers. Lastly, I will state why his work is still interesting today. Sartre’s Being and Nothingness is a Phenomenological Ontology. Ontology means the study of being; and phenomenological relates to perceptual consciousness (in short it takes human conscious experience as its subject, and its point of departure). Its descriptive method moves from the most abstract to the highly material

discuss the ontological proof of the existence of God. First, I will discuss what ontology is and how it connects to this proof about God. There are two kinds of proofs that are going to be talked about in this essay. The ontological proof was created by Anselm who made this argument that God does exist. To begin this discussion, ontology is a part of metaphysics and concerns itself with the nature of being. Ontology seeks to answer questions about existence, what’s real and what is not real. The

In The Moving Spotlight… Cameron offers an advanced philosophical discussion of the ontology of time, and his contribution to contemporary debate on metaphysics of time (within analytic philosophy) has already received a vivid response from academics and stimulated further debate. In particular, Ingthorsson reflects on Cameron’s moving spotlight theory in his McTaggart's Paradox (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy), Routledge 2016, pp. 117-120. 1 Departing from the premises of the A-theory

METAPHYSICS: ONTOLOGY: DUALISM VS. MATERIALISM The original idea of the word 'philosophy ' was a 'love of wisdom ' (Cowan 2). Philosophy is meant to explore the 'big questions ' and try to find answers as best we can in the time we have been given. One of the areas of study in philosophy is metaphysics, which deals in the ideas of the nature of reality. "We look at the world, and we assume that it is the way it appears to be. It is not." (Carreira 7). There is much to reality that can be discussed

3.1 Research Approach and Methodological Choice Ontology and epistemology are both essential elements of philosophy of knowledge. Ontology refers to the nature of reality, or assumptions about how we see the world. In part of epistemology refers to assumptions about the great way to study the globe (Saunders, Lewis, and Thornhill, 2015). In another word, epistemology is about the way we know things when ontology is about what things are (De Vaus, 2001). As there are several major factors that have

Existentialism can be defined through its ontology. Ontology is the study of the nature of reality and is also called the theory of reality. The ontology of existentialism can be discussed in under concepts of man and existence. In the concept of man, existentialists believe that man is not bound by any antecedent human nature but rather free to determine
