old (local) system. With so many geodetic datums in current use‚ it is becoming almost common practice to transform coordinates from one datum to another. For an example‚ a surveyor‚ using GPS‚ will obtain the WGS 84 geocentric‚ geodetic or Cartesian coordinates of the survey point. In order to plot the position on the corresponding local map‚ these WGS 84 coordinates must be first transformed into the local datum on which the map is based‚ which in Malaysia would most probably be Malayan Revised

For the last experiment‚ the Invisible Giant‚ we will need a pair of beaker tongs‚ a hot plate‚ an empty aluminum soda can‚ a beaker of ice water and some ice. * Procedure Part 1: The Cartesian Diver First‚ fill the bottle to the very brim

ENLIGHTENMENT The Enlightenment is the period in the history of western thought and culture‚ stretching roughly from the mid-decades of the seventeenth century through the eighteenth century‚ characterized by dramatic revolutions in science‚ philosophy‚ society and politics; these revolutions swept away the medieval world-view and ushered in our modern western world. Enlightenment thought culminates historically in the political upheaval of the French Revolution‚ in which the traditional hierarchical

Acknowledging but notwithstanding the natural attraction to some sort of dualism‚ I will i) state that my case rests on two suppositions‚ ii) argue that the problem of causal interaction deals a fatal blow to Cartesian dualism‚ iii) argue that other types of dualism have inherent difficulties and iv)‚ briefly‚ bring attention to an argument contending that the mind-body problem might actually be beyond solution due to the ontological apparatus borne by the human

Giambattista Vico was born in Naples‚ Italy‚ in the year 1668 (Stanford: 2014). He was educated by various Jesuit tutors and taught rhetoric for 40 years at the University of Naples (Stanford: 2014). The book‚ On the Study Methods of Our Time‚ published in 1709 was Vico’s response and critique of Descartes methodology (Stanford: 2014). Vico argues Descartes method reduces knowledge of all disciplines and gives no opportunity to look at probabilities‚ only certainties. Vico believed that Descartes

This is somewhat reminiscent of Daniel Dennett’s critique of Cartesian Dualism‚ the “Cartesian Theater”. The most obvious difference being 1 homunculus sitting in the Cartesian Theatre‚ as opposed to several homunculi sitting within the head of the robot. Another crucial difference being that Block and Dennett are on opposite sides of the functionalism debate. Block also
