Tim van Gelder Supervenience First published Mon Jul 25, 2005; substantive revision Wed Nov 2, 2011 A set of properties A supervenes upon another set B just in case no two things can differ with respect to A-properties without also differing with respect to their B-properties. In slogan form, “there cannot be an A-difference without a B-difference”. As we shall see, this slogan can be cashed out in many different ways. But to illustrate the basic idea, imagine that there is a perfect forger. The properties that the forgery is guaranteed to share with the original are those that supervene upon its microphysical properties. Supervenience is a central notion in analytic philosophy. 1. The core idea of supervenience is captured by the slogan, “there cannot be an A-difference without a B-difference.” We will begin with a few brief historical remarks (Section 2), and then turn to some general questions about supervenience, such as whether it is explanatory and whether it is guarantees entailment (Section 3). 2. 3.

Metaphysics Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it,[1] although the term is not easily defined.[2] Traditionally, metaphysics attempts to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms:[3] Ultimately, what is there?What is it like? Prior to the modern history of science, scientific questions were addressed as a part of metaphysics known as natural philosophy. Etymology[edit] However, once the name was given, the commentators sought to find intrinsic reasons for its appropriateness. There is a widespread use of the term in current popular literature which replicates this understanding, i.e. that the metaphysical equates to the non-physical: thus, "metaphysical healing" means healing by means of remedies that are not physical.[8] Central questions[edit] Cosmology and cosmogony[edit] Cosmogony deals specifically with the origin of the universe. Determinism and free will[edit] [edit] [edit] [edit]

Dualisme (philosophie de l'esprit) Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Pour les articles homonymes, voir Dualisme. En philosophie, le dualisme se réfère à une vision de la relation matière-esprit fondée sur l'affirmation que les phénomènes mentaux possèdent des caractéristiques qui sortent du champ de la physique[1]. La version la plus connue du dualisme a été formalisée en 1641 par René Descartes qui a soutenu que l'esprit était une substance immatérielle. Descartes fut le premier à assimiler clairement l'esprit à la conscience, et à le distinguer du cerveau, qui est selon lui le support de l’intelligence. Illustration du dualisme par René Descartes. Platon explique clairement dans le Phédon que les Formes sont les universalia ante rem, c'est-à-dire qu’elles sont des concepts (ou idées) universels, rendant intelligible l’ensemble du monde phénoménal. Descartes lui-même a peiné pour obtenir une réponse cohérente à ce problème. 1.

How Famous Companies Got Their Names Ever wondered about how famous brands got their names from? Here are a couple of explanations. Via Phenomenology (philosophy) Phenomenology (from Greek: phainómenon "that which appears" and lógos "study") is the philosophical study of the structures of experience and consciousness. As a philosophical movement it was founded in the early years of the 20th century by Edmund Husserl and was later expanded upon by a circle of his followers at the universities of Göttingen and Munich in Germany. It then spread to France, the United States, and elsewhere, often in contexts far removed from Husserl's early work.[1] Phenomenology, in Husserl's conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection on and study of the structures of consciousness and the phenomena that appear in acts of consciousness. Hicks writes, "In effect, the Structuralists were seeking subjective noumenal categories, and the Phenomenologists were content with describing the phenomena without asking what connection to an external reality those experiences might have
