Knowledge Theses Samples For Students

Descartes believes that human beings have priori knowledge of the unreal proposition, which means that knowledge does not rely on sense experience. He argues that human beings achieve knowledge through knowing certain realities naturally, and also through a type of rational insight that allows humans to take hold of certain realities rationally. He also argues that the fake knowledge human beings achieve through reasoning or naturally cannot be achieved in any other manner. He starts by asking how he can be sure of anything. He then builds up all types of imaginative and strange reasons as to why he ...

Socrates is popular for his shifting thoughts on Greek philosophical ideas about the nature of the universe. Philosophers before Socrates’ time also examined of the problems associated with human life. Nonetheless, Socrates was the first philosopher to analyze ethics as a science. In addition, Socrates looked at the principles of human life from a methodical and consistent perspective. Many critics note that Socrates influenced the expansion of Western philosophy and culture in many ways. In fact, a number of critics believe that Socrates was instrumental in his teachings and such thoughts impacted on the development of Christianity. Arguably, Socrates ...

The learning processes for both adults and children have similarities although adults are more focused at learning and absorbing information much faster than children. Adults come with responsibilities and experiences that help them learn faster. They are self-motivated, goal-oriented, and self-directed, thus, the approach to teaching adults should be a lot more different (QOTFC). This is where educational philosophy comes in which is composed of several ideologies that characterize what schools are expected to be and do. This paper will touch on the various educational philosophies and aspects relating the concepts to adult education.

Augustine and Skepticism

Augustine and Skepticism

While philosophical skepticism had many adherents during the ancient and Hellenistic periods, Augustine’s three refutations of total skepticism made it a less common topic of intellectual interest during the dark ages. Initially, Augustine had a strong inclination towards skepticism that states nothing can be known. However, it was Plotinus and Plato’s teachings that enabled him to refute skepticism.

Augustine refutes skepticism through the principle of non-contradiction. He states both a proposition and its contradiction cannot be true. For instance, the proposal a stick is straight and the notion the stick is ...

Foundationalist account of Knowledge refers to theories and perspectives that philosophers use in justifying the authenticity and the truthfulness of knowledge. These theories seek to differentiate between what knowledge is and what it is not. In making these justifications on what a person can justify as knowledge, various philosophers came up with arguments to support their course. Some of the outstanding philosophers that dealt with this debate include, John Locke, Kant, Hume and René Descartes. Descartes argued that foundational knowledge is just but an infallible belief in an idea and its end. Descartes used the Non-inferential Justification as Infallible ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract
In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students ...

Introduction

Epistemic contextualism had recently emerged as hotly debated and controversial topic among many philosophers. Contextualism elaborates a collection of philosophical views suggesting that utterance, action, or expression can only be understood with respect to the context they occur. The scope of the context subject has provided the hub for the controversial argument to many philosophers. This is because “context” does not certainly refer to elements of the putative focus of knowledge or objective condition but rather the elements of the knowledge attributor’s psychology. In other words, some philosophers like Conee believes that what is deemed to vary is ...

Today’s world is influenced by many factors such as globalization, cultural influences and the presence of the open market. Europe is a fine proof of this influence as it is more open for international business. Products from around the globe can be accessed by all types of consumers in the European market. Many find the European market more open to international businesses. Some find their successes in the European market through the use of good market analysis. Brooksbank (1991) notes that good market analysis is a key to the successful marketing plan;; it gives companies advice which will decrease miscommunication and misinterpretation, it helps to create business communications without borders.

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about ...

Abstract

Plato proposed that the ultimate form of government was either an oligarchy or kingdom. Pericles held the belief that democracy was the form of government under which prominence grew. Plato was a revered and eventually became well respected teacher in Classical Athens, his way of thinking and his views of a perfect society show him to be somewhat of an idealist more than a realist, as Pericles himself proved to be with his actions and achievements throughout his lifetime.  In Plato’s time, he valued reason above all else, and through thought, he sought to change the way a city state was run and controlled.  Pericles, on the other hand, used his aristocratic background and resources to make lasting improvements on the way of life for the citizens of Athens.

The paper argues about the human mind exhibits unity; that it can perceive various activities occurring at the same time together as elements of a single conscious state. The unity of consciousness is fundamental to human cognitive functions. It is the basis in which we merge our senses and our minds to recognise, act and react. The unified consciousness is responsible for our ability to make comparisons based on our senses weaving it into one experience.

The notion of the unity of consciousness is the basis of cognitive research stemming from notable work by Descartes, Leibniz and Kant. Descartes’ ...

Overcrowded jails filled with violent inmates. Prisons segregated by race. (deliberate fragment).

Free will is the ability of agents to make choices free from certain kinds of constraints. According to the historical views, the constraint of dominant concern is the metaphysical constraint of determinism. The opposing positions within various debates are metaphysical libertarianism, the claim that determinism is not true and thus free will exists and hard determinism, the claim that determinism is true and thus that free will does not be there. These positions, which agree that causal determination is the relevant factor in the question of free will, are classed as incompatibility. Those who do not believe that determinism is relevant are classified as compatibilists, and offer several alternative explanations of what constraints are relevant, such as physical and mental constraints (e.g. imprisonment or chains), social constraints (e.g. censure or threat of punishment), and psychological constraints (e.g. phobias or compulsions).The principle of free will has scientific, ethical, and religious implications. For example, according to the religious realm, free will implies that individual choices and will can coexist with an omnipotent divinity. In other ethics, it may hold implications regarding whether individuals can be held morally fit for their actions.
