In this way also, the necessity of causal interaction becomes virtually identical with that of logical entailment, thereby linking the entire universe in a...

• Baumgarten, Alexander Gottlieb

  of the connection of the images and resemblance between images. Such wholes are simple or complex, but since complexity is understood as having many themes, not parts, simplicity is an aesthetic virtue. Perceptions and images (which are secondary perceptions) are confused representations because they are not abstract, intelligible forms, which alone would be conceptually distinct. But while they lack intensional clarity, they may have great extensional clarity, and may form thematic wholes based...

• Brown, Thomas

  Hume's view of causation. He defends Hume's account of causation as nothing but invariable succession, mounting a powerful attack on the notion of power, particularly that of unexercised power, as wielded by Reid. However, he also uses tools furnished by Reid: the world consists of substances; general terms are essentially abbreviations of lists of substances, suiting our own practical purposes, and descriptions are abstractions from states of those substances; we have by virtue of our natur...

• How does Shakespeare establish the character of Richard in the first two scenes’ of Richard the III?

  combined with the skill he has demonstrated in the scene, the audience knows he will achieve his diabolic plans. The question is how. In the next scene, Richard’s ability of being one step in front of people is confirmed. The obstacle he has the overcome in this scene, Anne’s hatred, seems to be hopeless and unachievable. Shakespeare portrays Anne’s animosity towards Richard with the help of actions “she spits at him”, “she looks scornfully at her” but also castigates him as an inhuman, un...

  In dealing with his own questions concerning Aristotle's Physics , Chatton is known especially for joining the early fourteenth-century minority including Henry of Harclay , Gerard of Odo and Nicholas Bonet, thinkers who opposed Aristotle's claim that continua cannot be composed of indivisibles.

During the same year Agrippa wrote De vanita...

• Behaviourism, analytic

  2 Influences and arguments A first, important influence on analytical behaviourism was the doctrine of verificationism. According to one version of this view,the meanings of statements are given by the procedures used to find out if they are true. This was supposed to eliminate meanings as occult entities, and put the subject on a scientific footing. Anyone attracted by that view would have seen considerable merit in behaviourism. For we typically verify statements about other people's mental...
