well-defined spacetime geometry and, at the same time, zero density of energy-matter. Although the ontology of spacetime generated by the GTR is coherent with the Leibnizian conception due to the fundamental Einstein-Hilbert's equation, this "empty" solution creates compromise with the Newton- Clarke's theory. While discussing the relationship between spacetime and events, very important conclusions for ontology can be drawn from the notion of vacuum in the quantum theory of field. These conclusions
Socrates’s apology displays his deep knowledge in philosophy as the Delphic Oracle stated ”there is no person living wiser than Socrates”. The greatest example of Socrates trial and death validates the close relationship between his character and philosophy. He believed that philosophy should triumph in practical results for the greater well being of society. Socrates attempted to establish an ethical system based on human reason rather than theological teaching. He pointed out that human choice
texts were stored. All these texts were translated into European languages during the Middle Ages and managed to influence all of Europe (Shah). Through their translations, Muslims allowed the wisdom of great Greek writers like Hippocrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Euclid to be regained and rediscovered by future philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists. Transmissions of this knowledge from the Islamic civilization into Italy happened mainly through Spain. From the eight century to the fifteenth century
philosophical schools of Ancient Greece. The central aspect of Ionic philosophy is the search of the first cause of the existing world. However the idea of existing empty - non-existence not yet discussed by them. Different substances in their particular forms were considered as the first cause. Fales was looking for it in water, Heraclitus was looking for it in fire, and Anacksimen was looking for it in the air. In the philosophy of Anacksimader it was more abstract: it was apeiron — boundless, immortal
account the factor of time in their life and activities. We can say that they need it like the air to breath. That is why time was investigated in the theoretical systematized form by well-known philosophers and scientists of the past centuries - Aristotle, Augustine, Kant, Newton, Hegel, Marx, and ones of the Modern Age - Einstein, Russell, Heiddeger, Spirkin, etc. Each of them contributed to the understanding of time and its qualities. The most important issues of the past can be summarized in
Zeno’s Paradox and its Contributions to The Notion of Infinity Name: Dejvi Dashi School: King’s-Edgehill School IB nr: 000147-0006 Mathematics Exploration May 2014 Date: March 31st, 2014 Word Count: 2681 Achilles and the Tortoise is one of the many mathematical and philosophical paradoxes that were expressed by Zeno of Elea. His purpose was to present the idea that motion is nothing but an illusion. Many solutions have been offered as an explanation to these paradoxes
reservation. The middle possibility is something else. "Teaching" might fail of referentiality. In a highly pluralized society, most people will belong to several social bodies and to the extent these have views about teaching, they may have different notions of what teaching is, and what it intends. (3) If one is faced with mutually exclusive referential possibilities for a term, it seems unlikely one could determine which was actually true, and would be limited to some species of political correctness
was developed. Prior to the 16th century, Europe’s most influential economic ideas were derived from the likes of St. Thomas Aquinas. A priest by occupation, St. Thomas Aquinas was also a great philosopher who was deeply influenced by the works of Aristotle. Despite primarily propagating Church doctrines, St. Thomas Aquinas also bore the burden of social issues such as economics. Perhaps his most notable contribution to economics was in his book “Summa Theologica” Where he established the concept of
attempts to synthesize Artistotle’s human political “lifeform” with contemporary motivational behavior theory – specifically, Abraham Maslow’s development of an innate hierarchy of needs that directs an individuals motivations and behavior. Like Aristotle, Davies attempts to merge the dynamics of individual needs and environmental stimuli within an interwoven system. Adding to Aristotle’s suppositions, Davies incorporates what, in 1963, was new insight into human psychology and motivation – specifically
