The First Day Experience of Adobe Illustrator Adobe Illustrator (AI) CS6 is on-screen designing software which looks simple but when it comes to using it to create a design‚ you lose interest in no time. However‚ I was patient and most importantly determined to do what I have been assigned to do. On 14th October‚ 2013 I started off with unimaginable excitement that I will learn the basics of AI but there were few problems I encountered in my first experience of using Adobe Illustrator CS6

Cartesian coordinates‚ also called rectangular coordinates‚ provide a method of rendering graphs and indicating the positions of points on a two-dimensional surface or in three-dimensional space. The scheme gets its name from one of the first people known to have used it‚ the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes.

philosopher who has denounced the notion of Descartes’ method on doubt and Cartesian dualism. She believed that we are just physical objects and that there is nothing amazing about the mind or the soul. Churchland is a elimistist‚ meaning she eliminates the mind/ soul from the equation of the body. One of her main points is that society cannot hold the science of philosophy at a different stance than the natural sciences. Philosophy needs to have data and empirical data just like biology or physics. According

Jalissa Jimenez November 13‚ 2012 Prof. Rada Cogito ergo sum‚ a phrase that is said to be the fundamental element of western philosophy and what was the centerpiece of Rene Descartes’ epistemology. It is a simple statement but one that sets the standard for a principle upon which all knowledge is based. Many sources assess René Descartes to be the father of modern philosophy. In his lifetime he had made many noteworthy contributions to mathematics and physics. And there are of course his

Cartesian Skepticism to Existentialism The nature of our reality and existence has been a topic of debate since at least the ancient Greeks. Do we exist? Why do we exist? Does it even matter? These are questions I will attempt to address thoroughly. Answers may not be comfortable or satisfactory‚ but it’s better to rip that band-aid off now than continue blindly in the dark. Rationalism and Empiricism have both attempted to prove existence‚ but at their most extremes they fall apart. Using

This rational political actor has its origins in the Cartesian‚ ahistorical‚ self-conscious subject—a subject capable of using the "light of reason" to guide its epistemological and even political judgments. Even much of modern political discourse borrows from this Cartesian legacy by presupposing an ahistorical and even mechanistic "science of politics" A pertinent counter to this naively optimistic

Cogito ergo sum‚ or in other words I think‚ therefore I am. This phrase was the axiom of Rene Descartes’ meditations on the philosophy of mind. Descartes used this phrase as the basis of his reasoning throughout his meditations where he establishes the idea of Cartesian Dualism. Another major topic that Descartes mentions repeatedly in his meditations is the distrust of the senses and reliance on reason. He also heavily uses his own method of doubting the existence of everything until he can prove

to attending the Women’s Studies 5363 Feminist/Womanist Epistemology class‚ I did not have a clear understand of the distinction between epistemology and methodology.

Epistemology‚ the philosophy of knowledge or the study of knowledge and belief‚ is concerned with creation of knowledge‚ conditions of knowledge‚ sources of knowledge‚ structure of knowledge‚ limits of knowledge‚ and the distribution of knowledge. Methodology‚ on the other
