I am investigating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) in veterans and how it can be treated. PTSD has been around since the world’s very first conflicts‚ but it wasn’t until the 1900’s that is was medically recognized as a Mental disorder. The amount of veterans suffering from this disorder without treatment is un-imaginable. Often times veterans refuse to seek treatment for this disorder because they are afraid of the consequences of treatment. Veterans wouldn’t need to be treated if we take care

This was highly influenced by logical positivism: group of 20th century philosophers called the Vienna circle and was then further developed by British philosopher A.J Ayer. Religious language refer to statements such as ‘God exists’ and ‘God loves me’. Whilst these metaphysical claims are often

JURISPRUDENCE Knowledge is a true justified believe of something. We use our linguistic intuition to figure out differences in meaning. And their uses seem to be already “there” for some reason (possibly linguistic intuition). Counter Example: An example that refutes or disproves a hypothesis‚ proposition‚ or theorem. We use Counter Example (Opposite scenario/extra condition) - to show that something is wrong i.e. that knowledge does not generally constitute true believe. Counter examples

Ethical language is meaningless. Discuss. Twentieth Century ethics has been highly dominated by linguistics. Ethicists now worked to discover the meanings of terms such as “good” or “bad”. This goes beyond normative ethics such as Utilitarianism‚ Kantian ethics or Virtue ethics but rather looks at the usefulness and meaningfulness of ethical language‚ known as Meta ethics. It also tries to understand the meaning of terms used in descriptive ethics usually used by sociologists. Ethical language

Verification means to prove the truth of a statement whilst falsification means to prove a statement is false. Logical positivism was developed by the Vienna circle. They only accepted two forms of verifiable language: Analytical a priori statements which are logically true or false‚ an example would be ‘all circles are round’ and synthetic a posteriori statements which are

A J Ayer formed the verification principle which was influenced by the Vienna circle‚ he set out the idea of logical positivism and set the rules to state whether statements had meaning or not. A major problem with verificationism is that most scientific statements become meaningless. Scientific statements tend to take the form of general statements such as ‘water boils

Bibliography: Critic: M. W. Fosbery A Man for All Seasons‚ then‚ is a play that displays the less appreciated intellectual challenges of natural law theory. It does this not by staging an opposition between natural law theory and legal positivism‚ as Antigone largely does‚ but instead by depicting the conflicts among characters who are all at least potential natural law heroes: Henry‚ Roper‚ and More. More stands above the other two whose certainties about divine law evade the epistemological

verification is also raised; intuition may be considered to be a meaningless concept itself‚ since it is non-verifiable. The meaning of language and the principle of verification was at the forefront of debate in the 20th Century movement known as Logical Positivism. Philosophers such as A.J. Ayer‚ writing in Language‚ Truth and Logic and members of the Vienna Circle‚ wanted to be able to break down language into its simplest components. All meaningful propositions were divided into two categories‚ analytic

Assessment art Georges-Pierre Seurat was a post-impressionist I will analyse his painting “ Sunday Afternoon” I will also analyse Claude Lorraines work “Seaport with the Embarkation of St. Ursula” he’s style is classical. Firstly I will analyse “Sunday afternoon”. The colours in the painting are simple and bright‚ the artist does not blend colours instead he dots pure colours and lets the eyes blend them. This takes a long time to do and a lot of patience‚ but it eliminates the grey colour you
