Logical Picture Of The Facts
2,102 wordsWhy did Wittgenstein come to call the propositions of his Tractatus "senseless" (6.54) The conclusions and final philosophical position of Wittgenstein's Tractatus undermine and deny the possibility of his methods and objectives. Namely he concludes that metaphysical conjecture and the attempt to answer unanswerable questions is senseless. Since the Tractatus throughout posits solutions to the questions of reality, the meaningfulness of language and the possibility of human knowledge it has to a...

Argument From Evil
1,191 wordsTranscendentalism and A Belief In A 'Higher Power' We do not have good reasons to believe in something transcendental. Most of the arguments in favor of God, or a so-called 'higher power' are based on faith and emotion, and not a clear logical argument. In fact, these arguments are often in favor of throwing logic out the window. In many ways, this question is similar to someone attempting to prove the existence of an invisible elephant. It is far easier to prove that the elephant does not exist...

True Information The Conclusion
1,570 wordsEveryday people employ the use of logic to help them clarify or solve problems.

Logic With Other Branches Of Knowledge
2,994 wordsTruth is the object of thinking. Some truths are obvious; others are difficult to acquire. Some judgments we make are simple; some judgments are complicated. Some arguments, whether made by us or others, may be straightforward and easily understood; other arguments may be complex and consist of a series of smaller arguments, each needing to be critically examined and evaluated. Almost every object of knowledge has a branch of knowledge which studies it. Planets, stars, and galaxies are studied b...

Monty Python And The Holy Grail Logic
470 wordsMonty Python and the Holy Grail Logic affects our lives everyday. We use it both subconsciously and consciously to make decisions which can be as important as our careers, or as insignificant as what to eat for lunch. Logic can also be used in other ways. Ironically, others' bad logic can result in us learning something just as much as we learn from our own bad decisions. This is shown in Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. One example of this ironic use of logic is with the trial of the wi...

McTaggart's Argument
1,235 wordsMcTaggart takes a bold step in trying to disprove the existence of a phenomenon as taken for granted and unquestioned as breathing when he tackles the issue of time. If for no other reason, this quest is extremely daring in its scope, because he chooses to question an entity whose reality has probably never crossed most people's minds. McTaggart's goal in his paper is, on a large scale, to prove that time does not exist. We will, however, be tackling the aspect of time known as the A-Series in t...
