Philosophy Questions

1. Ross’ s Moral Theory is considered to stand between Kant’s strict deontological theory and theological theory of utilitarianism. According to the philosopher, there existed several prima facie duties that people had to hold in respect if they did not contradict one another.

Ross stated that any prima facie obligation could be redefined by more important ones. While Kant saw all obligations absolute and exceptionless, Ross allowed maximization of the good as one of the ...

Utilitarianism postulates that a moral act should be that which aims to produce a good result for all in the society. Borrowing from the utility principle, a moral good is achieved by having a rational balance between a something which is not moral but is good that having something which is not moral but evil (Mill 2006). According to utilitarians, an act is morally good when it produces the greatest margin of good course but for all in the society.

Historically, the idea of transcendentalism can be traced to the works of the Greek philosopher, Plato and the doctrines of major religions such as the ancient ...

My name is Id Number. The following is a review of an article titled “Making Management Decisions: The Role of Intuition and Emotion” by Herbert A. Simon. In the article, Herbert discusses two forms of decision-making that have been neglected. He illustrates the use of intuition and interpersonal interactions by managers in the decision-making process. The use of intuition in analysis and decision making by managers is particularly interesting, given the fact that intuitive or judgmental decision-making would be considered irrational or unreasonable by most people. According to Herbert (57), executives and other management professionals, unlike scientists, are likely ...

Philosophy

Introduction Early modern philosophers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries thought that the semantic content of our thoughts is a function of the contents of our ideas. They assumed that knowledge of the world requires a kind of thought, namely ‘justified true belief’ (Wang, 2012). In this regard, they broadly disagreed over what cognitive faculty or source provided our ideas with the type of content that generated justified true beliefs. A dominant concern during this period of intellectual enquiry was hence involved in locating the faculty which is the source of contents of ideas that led to justified true ...

Therefore, reason has played a central role in developing ethical theories almost since the inception of philosophy. Nevertheless, different authors have offered varied accounts of what reason means to them. Two of the most important of these thinkers were Aristotle and Kant, who understood this ...

It refers to the thought process of selection of a logical choice from the various available options. In decision-making, an individual must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and also make a consideration of all the available alternatives.

I took the Human metrics Jung Typology TestTM and my results say that I have a slight preference of introversion over extraversion (6%), a slight preference of sensing over intuition (3%), a moderate preference of thinking over feeling (47%), and a slight preference of judging over perceiving (12%).

When I think of the word “extrovert”, I imagine someone friendly, gregarious, and sociable. But when you combine the words “extrovert” and “intuitive” together, the meaning of the former becomes something much deeper. For ...

“In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.”

Evaluate this Statement in Relation to Two Areas of Knowledge In some context, simplicity is a term suggesting ignorance. It is not a way of knowing but a measure of knowledge. Simplicity can also refer to something that is basic or uncomplicated and may affect the way of knowing. Barrow argues that simplicity is a function of perspective. Based on his argument, a physicist might view the world as simple based on his understanding of particles and matter. Physics is a field based largely on reason and his interpretation of the universe as a series of simple algorithms is ...

How Photographs Influence What People Believe

How Photographs Influence What People Believe People have many ways that they examine information to decide whether it is factual. Talking to others, doing experiments, looking at pictures, reading, and doing research are just a few ways that people form ideas about the surrounding world.

It is easy to imagine how this works, because using the evidence of what is seen in order to make decisions is an essential part of life for ...

Intuitionism should be the most interesting phenomenon in modern philosophy. Intuitionism is a view, according to which the knowledge can be directly given to reason, as an inspiration insight, which is more comprehensive than a rational or sensual experience. In ethics it implies a point of view that the basic moral principles understood intuitively rather than through other cognitive processes.

Misconception of Kantian implied idealism that separating the mind from the appreciation of living, sensual contemplation, but also the metaphysical way of thinking, absolutizes distinction between direct and indirect knowledge and unable to find a valid way of development of knowledge.

Kant developed ...

Logical thinking is often called critical thinking or left brain thinking. Logical thinking is that type of thinking which allows individual to think based on what we know or knowledge, certainties and what we can prove.

This allows us to make logical deductions. It is the type of thinking that we use in doing things with definite rules like playing chess, and solving puzzles with definite answer.
