• Art and truth

  literature can illuminate how we ought to live has come from Martha Nussbaum. Her detailed analyses of literaryworks - the novels of Henry James in particular - set out to show that literature provides a means of extending ourmoral awareness beyond the limits to which traditional moral philosophy can take us. 'Schematic philosophers'examples', Nussbaum says, 'almost always lack the particularity, the emotive appeal, the absorbing plottedness, thevariety and indeterminacy, of good fiction;...

• Lieux et formes de pouvoir/ Mythes et héros/ Anglais

• Encyclopedia of Philosophy: THE SCHOOL OF PARMENIDES

  this sense of ‘being' from its use as a verbal noun, and to avoid the strangeness of the literal ‘the being' in English, it has been traditional to dignify Parmenides' topic with a capital ‘B'. We will follow this convention, whereby ‘Being' means whatever is engaged in being, and ‘being' is the verbal noun equivalent to the infinitive ‘to be'.Very well; but if that is what Being is, in order to make out what Parmenides is talking about we must also know what being is, that is to say, what...

• Change

  shape of a thing does not count as intrinsic on the above criterion since having shape is, arguably, not logically independent of the existence of the containing space. An alternative means of strengthening the Cambridge criterion employs the notion of causality. A genuine change in an object must, on this account, involve causal consequences contiguous to the object. This is not true of, for example, becoming an aunt or becoming famous - the effects of such 'changes' need not be near the obje...

This is the theory of emotivism or arousalism. Two cases need to bedistinguished. In the first, the art work or some aspect of it is the emotional object of a response in...

  By agreement, we call « north magnetic pole » the place where goes out the magnetic field and « south magnetic pole » the place where enters the magnetic field. Scientists found that the magnetic field enters in the north hemisphere and goes out in the south hemisphere. So, the north magnetic pole located in Canada is actually the south magnetic pole. However, because he is situated near the geographic north, we call it North Pole magnetic. Evolution of the Earth's magnetic field : Since the sev...

With simple geometryand knowledge of the distance between the two cities, he estimated the circumference of the Earth to be 250,000 stadia.

• Memory (psychology).

  memory span —how many items people can correctly recall in order. Researchers would show people increasingly long sequences of digits or letters and then ask them to recall as many of the items as they could. In 1956 American psychologist George Miller reviewed many experiments on memory span and concluded that peoplecould hold an average of seven items in short-term memory. He referred to this limit as “the magical number seven, plus or minus two” because the results of thestudies were so consi...

• Carbon - chemistry.

  Graphite is black and slippery and conducts electricity. In graphite, the atoms form planar, or flat, layers. Each layer is made up of rings containing six carbon atoms.The rings are linked to each other in a structure that resembles the hexagonal mesh of chicken wire. Each atom has three sigma bonds (with 120° between any two ofthe bonds) and belongs to three neighboring rings. The fourth electron of each atom becomes part of an extensive pi bond system. Graphite conducts electricity,because th...

• To have a conscience involves being conscious of the moral quality

  ends up doing the right thing. Talk of a ‘perverted' conscience may mean that a person's ultimate convictions are judged to be perverse, as in the first strand identified; or that their capacity to know good from evil, in general or in the particular case, has been distorted or corrupted. Building on the above, we may note a third emphasis in the idea of conscience, to do with the care, intensity and frequency with which someone examines the moral credentials of their desires, feelings,...

  can see on the map, the Communist states don't follow any financial or military influence of US, and their big territory is even a big opposition and threat for US hegemony.

  the 'light of nature' ). In particular, he argued that those based upon experience (for example, 'there is a table before me' ) are never certain because there is always some legitimate basis for doubt. Other philosophers, for example, G.E. Moore, argued that many propositions based upon experience can be certain ( Moore, G.E. §3 ; Commonsensism ). The remainder of this entry discusses some of the more influential accounts of propositional certainty. A contextualist account has been dev...

  The hypocrisy of others: What is hypocrisy in general? A hypocrite is a man who intentionally appears to be what he is not in reality. What does it mean for a virtuous man to be a hypocrite? It means that the love that this man is supposed to have for the beautiful and the good isn’t the sole or prime motive of his “virtuous” actions. The virtue of most men is the result of their fear or cowardice. It is not truly virtue. Are fear and cowardice motives able to make a man virtuous? No....

• Light I INTRODUCTION Light, form of energy visible to the human eye that is radiated by moving charged particles.

  simulates the action of a moving charge upon the electric field. It creates a wave that travels along the rope in a direction that is perpendicular to the initial up anddown movement. Because electromagnetic waves are transverse—that is, the vibration that creates them is perpendicular to the direction in which they travel, they are similar to waveson a rope or waves traveling on the surface of water. Unlike these waves, however, which require a rope or water, light does not need a medium, or su...

The light is also affected by the collision as though itwere a particle, in that its energy and momentum changes. Momentum is a quantity that can be defined for all particles. For light particles, or photons, momentum depends on the frequency, or color, of the photon, which in turndepends on the photon’s energy. The energy of a photon is equal to a constant number, called Planck’s cons...
