Subjective logic

One of the hottest topics over the past few years has been that of platforming and free speech. Are all people entitled to a platform with which they can express their views and free speech? Should platforms be taken away from those whose views are deemed ‘hateful’ or ‘dangerous’? Is the notion of preventing people from having a platform a legitimate form of activism? In a recent discussion panel at Oxford University, two sides debated these issues. One side argued that no-platforming is a legitimate

of philosophical and intellectual models in his writing, one of which is George Berkeley’s subjective idealism. In "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," Borges paints a picture of a perfect reality governed by Berkeley’s idea that matter only exists in perception, and in "The Circular Ruins," he presents a man who creates a boy who cannot exist independent of his perception.

provides an insightful perspective to ethical reasoning. Nagel believes there are objective moral truths; he claims one can perform a moral act that is defensible from "an external point of view" and cannot be reduced to an act arising simply from subjective or personal preferences. Objectivity and subjectivity must be clarified in order to grasp Nagel’s assertions. Objectivity is external and naturalistic; a universal sense for everyone. Subjectivity is internal and does not need any external authority

discernment, postmodernism has caused the deterioration of the western world and its values. The absolutes of pre-modernism and the traditional logic of modernism are tossed aside for postmodernism’s relative truth and feelings based logic. Paragraph one, reason one: “You do you” says postmodernist. “There is no absolute truth, truth is relative or subjective and is different for everyone. “ Postmodernism seeks to remove all absolutes so that the only absolute that there is: that there are no absolutes

life, though many may come from a bad source. Profound philosophers Jean Kazez and Chris Heathwood develop both subjective and objective theories to help define the true meaning of a substantial life.

Aristotle’s theory of knowledge is largely based on logic as he believes that knowledge is based on strong belief and intelligence. It is heard that Socrates was not the one who developed the Theory of Ideas, but in fact, it was Plato’s philosophy. It is based on his personal knowledge and ideas. Aristotle’s knowledge is based on substantive evidence, meaning it is backed up while Plato’s is based more on ideas which could be misleading and quite possibly wrong. Plato dissociated intellectual knowledge
