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.
