Hume vs. Kant: Causality Hume’s ultimate goal in his philosophic endeavors was to undermine abstruse Philosophy. By focusing on the aspect of reason‚ Hume shows there are limitations to philosophy. Since he did not know the limits‚ he proposed to use reason to the best of his ability‚ but when he came to a boundary‚ that was the limit. He conjectured that we must study reason to find out what is beyond the capability of reason. Hume began his first examination if the mind by

Introduction A polymer is a large molecule comprised of numerous smaller molecules. It is possible for these large molecules to be linear‚ moderately branched‚ or highly interconnected. In the latter case the structure progresses into a large three-dimensional complex. The small molecules that serve as the basic building blocks for these large molecules are known as monomers (See Figure 1.1). An example of the relationship between a monomer and polymer is the commercially important material polyvinylchloride

animals to develop products and medicines that benefit human beings? New scientific research has cast grave doubt on the safety testing of hundreds of thousands of consumer products. Everyday products‚ from soft drinks to paints‚ contain numerous synthetic chemicals. Official assurances of the safety of these chemicals are based largely on animal experiments. But recent results from a consortium in America suggested such assurances may be worthless. The results challenge the longstanding scientific

Application Assignment Anabolic steroids are very commonly used in today’s society. Anabolic steroids are a group of synthetic hormones that further the progress of the storage of protein and the growth of tissue. It is most commonly used by athletes to increase muscle size and strength. Anabolic steroids will not lead to offspring with increased muscle size and strength. This synthetic hormone does not connect to your DNA‚ and therefore it is not inheritable. It does not make the offspring faster or

as rubber was needed for tyres of military vehicles and the supply was interrupted by the conflict between the countries. Scientists in Germany and the US developed synthetic polymers that could replace rubber. Even after the war ended the traditional sources of natural rubber could not meet the greatly increased demand‚ so synthetic rubbers dominated the market. Natural rubber [poly-cis-isoprene(C5H8)n]. the latex consists of a polymer colloid of a monomer called isoprene. The precipitation of

Synthetic opiates are chemically altered narcotics created that have similar effects to opiates. OxyContin is a synthetic opiate that very much mimics the effects of heroin. This drug is administered for patients suffering from chronic pain. Methadone is another synthetic opiate. This drug actually wanes the patient away from using heroin.

Reconciling the Metaphysical and Corporeal in Nature The evolution of Homo sapiens has had a marked effect on our geographical environment—much as it usually does with the evolution of any species. This is especially notable with humans‚ considering how we have evolved to the point where we not only impress upon our environment to assimilate for survival‚ but we also mold it to the whims of our convenience. During the dawn of the human species‚ we left footsteps as we gathered roots and berries
