Study Notes

Differences for Exam

Monism-Dualism: Monism posits a single substance composing the universe, whereas dualism divides it into material and formal parts.

Materialist-Formalist Philosophers

Formalists: Believe reality is understood through abstract forms/structures possessing independent existence.
Materialists: Maintain that reality is based solely on matter.

Being and Heraclitus

Heraclitus: For Heraclitus, being is fundamentally dynamic, always changing, and the essence of existence.

Analytic-Synthetic Propositions

Analytic propositions: Are always true, the subject contains the predicate, and their truth is self-evident.
Synthetic propositions: Their truth depends on external factors, the truth of the predicate isn't included in the subject.

Dogmatism-Relativism

Relativism: Argues there are no absolute, unchanging truths. Truths depend on context, perspective, and time.
Dogmatism: Asserts that truths are absolute and unchangeable. The truth can be established independently of observation.

Correspondence and Coherence Theories of Truth

Correspondence theory: Truth is when a statement aligns with objective reality.
