An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding By David Hume
David Hume, the Scottish empiricism philosopher who endorses on all knowledge is obtained from
sense–experience and he practices moderate skepticism for his entire academic life. Hume's
moderate skepticism refers to abduction today in which it means inference to the best explanation.
To it another way, he means credible belief is possible and genuine knowledge could be inaccurate.
In the "section IV– Sceptical Doubts concerning the Operation of the Understanding" part two of the
book "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", David Hume intends to clarify about how
induction (moral reasoning) works in the knowledge of cause and effect. Accordingly, he shares "
[i]n reality, all arguments from experience are founded on the similarity, which we discover among
natural objects, and by which we are induced to expect effects similar to those, which we have
found to follow from such objects" (p.23). Based upon his writing, Hume explains most people tend
to reason a particular instance and expect the future outcome depending on their past experiences;
they make conclusions with inductive reasoning. However, the induction has limitation because it
doesn 't guarantee future instances will resemble previously observed ones.

An Enquiry Of Human Understanding David Hume Analysis
Since ancient times, people have been exposed to numerous stories of miracles, and quite frankly,
the majority of them involve religions; even the ones who are not religious are familiar with Jesus
turning water into wine and parting the red sea. However, a miracle itself is an extremely abstruse
and complex concept; therefore requires much of a deeper and intimate understanding of what its
true natures are. According to Oxford Dictionary, a miracle refers to "an extraordinary and welcome
event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine
agency", so even the most common definition recognizes that a miracle requires some kind of a
religious force. However, who can truly argue that a miracle is a cause of a divine agency, and how
can one prove that such divine agency is the God of a certain religion? In the book, "An Enquiry of
Human Understanding", the author David Hume, an eminent philosopher, historian, economist, and
essayist analyzes his views on miracles. On the preferential basis, Hume is an empiricist who
believes that one's experience is the only guide in reasoning concerning matters of fact. (citation)

amongst all humans. However, there is controversy concerning how morals are made, whether they
are based on reason or sentiment (emotion). Hume does not believe that morals are based off of
100% reason. He believes that humans base their morals on sentiment and that they cannot just
make moral judgements based on reason alone. Hume says that reasoning deals with facts and that
we can make conclusions from those facts, but reasoning alone cannot bring humans to choosing

Pedagogical Similarities Between Sankara And Mooji
Mooji, in comparison to his historical counterpart Sankara, shares many pedagogical similarities, as
well as some respective differences. In reference to Sankara's Upadeśasāhasri, Mooji shares major
resemblances in how he delivers his teachings, notably the poetic manner in which he presents his
works. Mooji's written works primarily consist of short poetic utterances, delivering a what could be
categorized as a philosophically artistic teaching. Sankara's teachings are also presented in an vivid
manner, priming the seeker who is studying with a mixed variety imagery and examples, such as the
tale of Udaṅka, the sage who suspected Vishnu's urine from the Mahābhārata.
Where they share the majority of their commonalities are in their teachings themselves. The nondual
tenets in which Mooji propagates regards that of Sankara's with impeccable similarity. Mooji's
philosophy, which is centered in the Advaita tradition, is heavily influenced by his master Papaji and
Sri Ramana Maharshi, both of which propagated the Advaita tradition to a certain degree, as in fact,
R. Maharshi actually translated much of Sankara's work into Tamil and was incredibly proficient in
Vedantic scripture. Being said, it should then not come to surprise that him and Sankara put forth

David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
In his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume explores the relationships between
human experience, knowledge, and understanding. He clarifies that since humans have only their
experience to base their understanding of reality on, experience creates the conception we have of
the fundamental, natural rules that govern the world. He defines a "miracle" as an event that violates
those "laws of nature". Hume emphasizes that although a person's testimony can be taken as a form
of evidence for the occurrence of an event, in the case of miracles, testimony is deeply suspect and a
person should almost never believe a miracle has occurred based on it. It is my belief that Hume's

Universal Perfect Doesn't Exist: Genuine Knowledge Means Shift
It has been many years, the foundation of all genuine knowledge, whether they are found on
experience (empiricism) or they could simply gain from pure reasoning (rationalism) has been the
subject of academic debate among scholars. However, we will only focus on the limitation of pure
reasoning, compare both David Hume and Rene Descartes' views of knowledge, and decide whose
belief works better to attain genuine knowledge in this paper. In the book "An Enquiry Concerning
Human Understanding", David Hume specifically clarifies on how moral reasoning (induction)
works in the knowledge of cause and effect and he shares on its limitation. Accordingly, he writes "
[i]n reality, all arguments from experience are founded on the similarity, which we discover among
natural objects, and by which we are induced to expect effects similar to those, which we have

make conclusions with inductive reasoning. However, the induction has the limitation because it

When we account for all Mooji's teachings, he presents his philosophy in a myriad of ways. He has
six publications, four which are authored solely by him. His first authored book, Writing on Water ,
is a collection of spontaneous 'utterances' and original artwork. Here, Mooji delivers crisp spiritual
insights and directs his teachings in a poetic manner. His focus in this book is more general,
speaking on numerable topics, such as the nature of the Self, the ego–mind, the path of the disciple,
as well as illuminating some understanding to what the master's role is and their relation to the
disciple. His second publication, Before I am , is a selection of dialogues in a four–year span
between Mooji and a mixed array of intrigued seekers whom he has encountered and had the fortune
of meeting and conversing with. Before I am expounds on a wide range of topics, such as the nature
of Awareness, our perceptual desires and fears, and the place for the mind's logical and rational
functions within in our practice. It also reveals the most pressing questions that seekers have
presented in their meetings with Mooji, which can vary from being humorous at times, and sensitive
at others. White Fire, Mooji's third authored book, and his longest, is a selection of spontaneous

Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume Essay
The way in which a concept comes to exist in one's mind is itself a concept worth examining. Many
philosophers have looked for the origin of thought in the human mind, and many different reasons
for this origin have been put forth. As a philosopher, it is only fitting that Hume would propose his
own framework for human thinking. For Hume, perceptions are developed either as the
understanding of the outside world, or as recollections of these events or alterations of these
memories within the mind¹. This distinction is important, as it allows Hume to differentiate
perceptions as true or false notions. With this, Hume puts forward his concepts of belief and fiction.
Belief is defined in perceptions that one, simply put, believes, and ... Show more content on

#17–18). The force of a perception one has is directly tied to the reasoning that is employed as one
considers the observation. Perceptions that exist in the mind are broken into two categories by
Hume; these are the matters of fact and the relations of ideas (p. 25). Relations of ideas are created
solely within the mind (p. 25). As one considers concepts of mathematics, such as "2+2=4," he
would think of this as a true statement. Conversely, as one thinks of creatures such as sirens or
hippogriffs, the thought is disregarded as a thing of the imagination. This is because ideas in the
mind are created as copies of impressions. The idea of such a simple concept in algebra would
appear evident to someone, as this individual is likely to have a strong impression of the concept.
However, it is unlikely or impossible for the impression of a siren to exist inside someone, and thus
the idea of sirens would be weak. Here, the difference in belief and fiction is evidenced. Belief in
some impression or idea comes with the force of the perception, and perceptions which hold no
force are seen as fiction. While belief and fiction can be seen in relations of ideas, examining
matters of fact allows for a much deeper understanding of the concepts. While relations of ideas are
conceived within the mind, matters of fact are generated through interactions with the external
world. These

is that ancient philosophers and natural philosophers both had made errors in developing theories
Hume felt were entirely too hypothetical (4 Stanford). He claimed that these philosophers had made
claims "based on speculation and invention rather than experience and observation" (4 Stanford).

Hume's claim that the only semblance of causation we're able to discover is that one idea or thing
follows from another, fails to recognize that we discover necessary causation through simple
experiences almost daily. While it may be the case that we truly cannot see the connection between
why we can move our limbs, but cannot alter the state of some organs or control their actions
through experience alone, we can discover the causal relationship between other things. Hume
argues that "while the impulse of one billiard ball is attended with motion in the second[,] this is the
whole that appears to the outward senses" (Hume 558). His claim is that "the mind feels no
sentiment or inward impression from this succession of objects" and that as a result, there is nothing
derived from the experience that suggests "the idea of power or necessary connection" (Hume 558).
However, that which we perceive with our outward senses does allow us to derive a necessary
connection between ideas or things. We are able to observe that the necessary connection allowing
the billiard ball to move is that another object interferes and causes its motion. We know this
through experience because we consistently perceive another object interfering and causing the
effect of the ball's motion. In this sense, we can perceive many necessary connections, as the same is

where and how she struggles in adult relationships. Finally some transpersonal perspective will also

D's attachment style
Due to the circumstances of her early childhood D leans towards an Insecure– Ambivalent
Attachment style. Typical characteristics of this style is a lack of trust in others, as well as anxieties
around not being lovable. Also difficulties with commitment, and a minimising of the need for
attachment and intimacy, because of lack confidence in its availability. There is also a strong
reaction to separation as well as a tendency to isolate.

D was raised in a single parent household by a mother struggling with chronic substance abuse
issues. Due to the chaotic nature of addiction it is likely that her mother found it difficult to be

An Inquiry Into Human Enquiry
26837567
Philosophy 4
15 April 2016
An Inquiry into Human Enquiry In An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume
argues for the division of human enquiry into two types: relations of ideas and matters of fact.
Relations of ideas are certain and may be found through only thinking, while matters of fact are
uncertain and depend on the world around us (Hume 18–19). I will argue in this paper that Hume's
view on human enquiry is conceivable but that there remain some reasons to doubt the accuracy of
his categorization. Hume argues in "Sceptical Doubts Concerning the Operations of the
Understanding" that all of human enquiry falls into two areas, relations of ideas and matters of fact.
I will begin by examining relations of ideas. Hume describes relations of ideas as discoverable
through only thinking and calls them "intuitively or demonstratively certain" (Hume 19). We cannot
envision the reverse of these relations of ideas. For example, we cannot picture a circular square
because that goes against the very definition of a square. A key feature of a contradiction is its
inconceivability, so our inability to conjure a contradiction to a relation of ideas serves as a reason to
believe Hume's view. I will now inspect the second group, matters of fact. Matters of fact concern
what is the case, and one can imagine the opposite of a matter of fact since it could potentially
happen (Hume 19). For example, if I live in a house on the beach, I know that I can see

Durkheim's analysis of religion was developed using principles of positivism and organicism
(Hamilton 2014, p. 104). Positivism and methodological individualism were both consequences of
liberal extremism, with their roots in the political philosophy of the Enlightenment. During this
period philosophy began to associate with science and rationality, leading to the creation of the
social sciences (Hamilton 2014, pp. 103–104). In contrast, organicism was largely conservative and
influenced by theology. This view explains that society is a divine creation; a transcendent and
unwavering phenomenon (Hamilton 2014, p. 104). Durkheim combined these two traditions to
develop his theory of knowledge and religion. By treating religion as a collective social experience,
Durkheim positioned his analysis of human thought within the social environment (Hamilton 2014,
p. 103; Repstad & Furseth 2013, p. 32; Turner 2010, p. 54). Essentially, Durkheim regarded religion
as a secondary form of scientific knowledge; a mental process linking human activity to the natural
environment (Hamilton 2014, p. 103). He maintained that religion permeates into all areas of human
life. Further, it divides society into sacred and profane areas that guide an individual (Hamilton
2014, p. 105). Durkheim's use of the term sacred signifies religious articles and actions, and the
participation in religious rituals. On the other hand, profane denotes all other areas of life outside of

The Body as a Site for Enquiry in Art and Fashion
The body as a site for enquiry in art and fashion Introduction Dressing defines the outward
arrangement of materials and objects in the body of human beings. Dressing does not only include
clothing but also other accessories, makeup and hairstyle. Dressing is an important feature to
humankind. Over the ages dressing has evolved to various designs and styles to meet the desires of
man and trends. The basic reason for dressing/clothing is protection and warmth, although dressing
functions to communicate our identities and cultures. Apart from the basic need of clothing, other
purposes of dressing are beauty, modesty, ritual purposes and style. Dressing makes us look
attractive and confident over a period. Cultural practices and beliefs define what a society view as
modesty in dressing. Some cultures' dressing does not require covering of the whole body and still
people view it as a modest way of dressing. Other cultures view modes as covering most of the body
parts when dressing. Dressing also specifies rituals and ceremony to express the outward meaning
of the ceremony. Most people in societies today view dressing as a form of expressing a sense of
fashion. Fashion is a way in which a certain accepted form of dressing transforms to meet the
requirements of people, environment and trend. Fashion can be an art but art cannot be fashion. An
individual can express his art in fashion, but an artist cannot do so. There is, however, a big

plan what to do and how to research, to predict outcomes and anticipate responses, to test
conclusions and improve ideas. (National Curriculum, 2000). These approaches can be used in
foundation subjects and R.E (religious education) to enhance the child's understanding and learning
of the topic and to allow them to branch out their thoughts and opinions on what they are learning.

P.E is a course that focuses on developing physical fitness in the youth and is required to be taught
in both primary and secondary schools. Enquiry based learning can be implemented in P.E by
providing experiences which allow the children to self–learn and self–teach which gives them
opportunities to practice and develop problem solving and decision making skills. It is important
that enquiry is used in physical education especially because not only does it improve mental
abilities but also helps with physical development and knowledge of the body in action. "In practice,
personalising learning means that a P.E teacher is able to identify and support a pupil or a group of
pupils who have limited understanding of the lesson". (Armour, 2014). As a teacher, I could start of
a lesson by questioning the pupils with "how many different ways can you pass the ball?" and
through this question the children will try out different ways on how to pass a ball and begin to learn
through a leading question. With this, you could get the children to play different games which
encourage teamwork, set goals and think of things like how the body changes with each pass of the

differentiation and children to be challenged, helps them evaluate and analyse their learning and

David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
In An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume ponders the idea of causality setting
himself as the skeptic. According to Hume, although it may seem there are two incidents happening,
one after the other, it is nearly impossible to identify the connection. It is with this, that Hume
disputes the idea of causality. It is possible that one thing causes another; however, it is just as
plausible to conceive that it does not. A may follow B, but it is still possible that A does not cause B.
Despite this, we still understandably assume that what follows from one another is cause and effect.
Hume claims that the confidence we hold in causation in created through these repetitive
experiences and thus this intuition cannot be confirmed nor denied. Furthermore, Hume also
believes that those who misleadingly trust that there is a necessary connection within nature will
resist this opinion. Additionally, Hume believes that causal happenings are not necessary relations
between objects or events, but are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
According to Hume, it is possible for relations of ideas to be completely certain. This means that
relations of ideas are made through deductive reasoning and thus have connections formed between
ideas. They are rational statements that if thought about in any other way would lead to a
contradiction. Relations of ideas are independent of experience and can be true because the
definition is within the very object. On the other hand, he explains that matters of fact are truths
made through what is experienced. Matters of fact are recognized through what is cause and effect.
Our experience towards one instance can dictate what is expected of a cause that never actually
happened. The conjecture made behind matters of fact is that it is necessarily true, but since it is
based on probability, it does not mean that it has to be true. It may tell us about the world, but is not

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, By David Hume
David Hume, a Scottish philosopher who lived from 1711–1776, was a very persuasive empiricist.
David Hume is recognized for his famous book The History of England. In another one of Hume's
books, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Hume describes his skepticism towards
knowledge. Hume is correct in saying that knowledge beyond our immediate experience is
questionable and can be a topic of skepticism. However, Hume's skepticism is not worrisome
because without one's questionable beliefs, living would not be nearly as enjoyable. In Hume's An
Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, he claims that knowledge comes from sensory
experiences. He calls these experiences impressions. He then describes ideas as the mind's

David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
PHL100CS3 Mohtadi Section 7 of Hume's An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding evaluates
the concept of causation and "necessary connexion." Hume comes to the conclusion that because
human beings are incapable of perceiving the "necessary connexion" in cause and effect
relationships, "cause" is nothing but the "idea" or impression of power or action. To illustrate his
argument, the philosopher relies on his definitions of (1) impressions (immediate sensory
perceptions) and (2) ideas (recollections of impressions that build upon each other and increase in
complexity.) Over the course of the section, Hume attempts to prove that no impression exists that
would suggest a connection or power between two objects/events. Thus, the "causation" apparent is
formed of our expectation that one event will follow the other; in reality, human beings lack the
capacity to perceive connection between two entities. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

However, these comments are something which can only become reality if practitioners are
enquiring into their practice. On reflection, it is my opinion that as assessment is such a widely–
debated idea that it should be enquired in a teacher practice on a regular basis. I feel that by just
concentrating on effective questioning it has implicated my practice and made me feel more
confident and knowledgeable. However, there are many other factors a teacher uses daily which can
change the form of a child's learning. Therefore, I feel another important next step in my practice
would be to follow other formative assessment tools as a line of enquiry. Specifically, into LI and

2009 (Chris Leadbeater, 2010). Ryanair alone experienced a 15% increase in the number of
scheduled passengers, from 2008 to 2009, which shows that many people preferred Ryanair over
other airlines during the recession (Ryanair annual report, 2009, pg4). Around 46% of Ryanair's
customers come from UK, almost a third of its passengers are aged between 25 to 34 and around
21% are property holders in other countries (Mintel, 2007). The airline mainly depends on repeat
business as 40% of its customers fly 5 times a year (Mintel, 2007). This data will help us decide our

An Enquiry Concerning The Principles Of Morals Essay
What is a moral? This is a question that has plagued philosophers for many years. Is it possible to
have a set of universal morals? There are many questions that surround the mystery of morals. They
seem to drive our every action. We base our decisions on what is right and what is wrong. But what
is it that actually determines what is right and what is wrong? Is it our sense of reason? Is it our
sense of sentiment? This is a question that David Hume spent much of his life pondering. What
exactly is it that drives our actions? Yes, morals drive them, but what determines what our morals
are? What is it that ultimately drives our actions; our feelings or our minds?

a truth. To make an analogy to mathematics, truth is a function of reason, whereas taste is a function
of sentiment. Sentiment is a function of the individual whereas reason is a function of the universe.
The universe as a whole must follow reason, but the catch is that each individual's universe is
slightly different in that each individual perceives his or her universe differently. "What each
man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment." (p.14) That is to say each person's
individual universe has truths. These truths are based on reason. These truths/reasons are what help
to determine the person's sentiment. However, it should be noted that because the reasons are NOT
necessarily the person's sentiments, they do not motivate actions. One other reason why reason does
not impel action is because reason is based on truths. Truths are never changing whereas sentiments
are dynamic and are in a constant change of flux. At one moment, the criminal could feel sympathy
for his victims and decide to spare a life, and the very next, the same criminal could become enraged
at the pimple on a hostage's forehead and shoot him.
Of course these are extreme cases, but the point is clear. Reason would dictate that only the first
action would be moral. If reason drove actions, then moral behavior would prevail and there would
be no immoral actions and hence there would be no crimes.

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Section 10 Essay
In Hume's 1748 publication: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding , Section 10 is titled Of
Miracles. This section is an extended argument against the veracity of miracles. In response to
Hume, Richard Price published Four Dissertations in 1768. In Dissertation IV, The Importance of
Christianity, the Nature of Historical Evidence and Miracles, Price outlines a Bayesian argument
against Hume's conclusions that miracles cannot ever occur.
My thesis is that Price's Bayesian argument, arguably the first use of Bayes' Theorem to challenge
another published argument fails. It fails on three fronts: it mischaracterizes Hume's argument as
non–conditional; it improperly employs a Bayesian model test case of newspaper reporting; and it
does not consider the effects of the preliminary seeding of probabilities for its Bayesian model of
miracles.
1.0 Hume's Argument Against Miracles
Hume's argument is multi–faceted but most commentators (Millican, Earman) agree that the key
summary occurs in paragraph 13.
The plain consequence is (and 'tis a general maxim worthy of our attention) "That no testimony is
sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be
more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavours to establish..." (E 10.13)

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding David Hume
Being the skeptic that he is, Hume believes in the epistemological position that true knowledge is
unattainable. Why? Everything we learn to believe about the world through experience is based on
matters of fact. "The contrary of every matter of fact is still possible because it can never imply a
contradiction, and is conceived by the mind with the same facility and distinctness as if ever so
conformable to reality" (Hume, p.191). Given that matters of facts "are founded on the relation of
cause and effect" (Hume, p.193) we can simply say that experience is the base of everything we
know and not a priori reasoning. However, Hume argues that we rely on past experience to predict
the future which not a reliable process. This being said, Hume believes that knowledge derives from

conclusion that ideas do derive from impressions, given that ideas are simply thoughts, memories or

qualities which are valued for any of four reasons: they are useful to the individual, useful to
society, agreeable to the individual, or agreeable to society. One of the qualities which Hume
elucidates is justice. This quality, however, according to Hume, is valued solely for its usefulness
and not upon any agreeability to anyone. Hume explains his position thusly.
Hume imagines a scenario in which all things are both readily available and easy to obtain. In this
situation, he says, justice is worthless, as there would be no squabbling or conflict over property
rights, as replacing that which someone takes from you is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net
...
To proceed in Hume's own order, we must first examine the example of the Golden Age, the
situation when all things are easily obtained. In this situation, Hume argues, the need for justice
would be gone, as anything taken from you can be easily replaced. There are, however, numerous
examples of this being entirely incorrect. Take, for example, Hume's statement that this even applies
to land, when it is in extreme abundance. However, you recall the Kansas Land Rush of 1889. In
this situation, land was in the millions of acres, all waiting to be had, and yet dozens were killed
over one small parcel of it. Jealousy and envy are not dispelled by mere abundance.
A troubling factor in Hume's explanations of justice is that they all entail property justice. And what
a small part of justice that is! In Hume's utopia, then, a man whose wife leaves him for another
would merely shrug his shoulders and go order a new one? And what consideration would be given,
in absence of "useful" justice, to a man who was stabbed in an argument? Mere abundance of
resources is hardly a thing to alleviate all problems.
The second example I discarded immediately, and I will explain more fully for my reasons in doing
so. By creating a world in which there is absolute benevolence, Hume has

The Medium to Grasp the Future In Section IV of An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
by David Hume, Hume provides argument that will outline that any conclusions about the future
based on past experience are limited to being just probable suppositions, because all arguments that
claim to know the future impacts of an object's "secret powers" (Hume 21) are based in assumption.
By "secret powers" (Hume 21), Hume means those abilities of an object, such as a loaf of bread, to
"support... a human body." (Hume 21) The bases for Hume's claims are in the question he posits
asking, "What is the foundation of all conclusions from experience?" (Hume 20) In other words,

A means by which the barrier that separates the past from the future can be broken down thus giving
inferences or conclusions from experience grounding in reason as opposed to being just probable
statements. He goes on to provide the reason for which arguments that claim to "foresee"(Hume 22)
are limited to probability. His reasoning is that these arguments intend to prove that the future will
look like the past, yet do so by assuming that "the future will be conformable to the past"(Hume 23)
thus plaguing them with circuitous logic. (Hume 23) What Hume means is that the point in question
which is sought to be resolved, is done so by assuming that this point will hold true, thus using the
assumption that something will hold true to prove that this same thing will hold true. Additionally,
this argument's grounding in an assumption which may or may not hold true, makes it probable due
to its foundation built on a probable factor, almost like a tower built on sand. Hume's negative
argument for reasoned foresight based in experience hinges upon the claim that these arguments
lack a "medium"(Hume 22) by which the future can be shown to be conformable to the past, stating
that these arguments are based in assumptions, which make them nothing more than probable.

By interacting with participants in their natural setting makes the data collection process interactive.
A second reason why qualitative method is appropriate for investigating this question is that it gives
the researcher the opportunity to serve as instrument for collecting data either by examining
previous or current documents on the issue, observing the behaviour of participants or by
interviewing the Creswell (2009, pp.175–6). This points out that the researcher is immersed and in
direct contact during the data collection. Thirdly, qualitative research approach is appropriate for
investigating young people's experiences of homelessness because it provides researchers with
multiple forms of data such as interviews, observations, and documents (Creswell 2009, pp.175–6).
The benefit for having multiple data sources if that researchers have the opportunity to review all of

To understand premise (1) it is important to understand what Hume means about liberty and
necessity. According to Hume, the doctrine of necessity, or determinism, is our mind making
determined inferences about an event in accordance with the laws of nature. Basically, Hume argues
that the inference we make about future events, given past events, is determinism. For example,
when you are bowling, you make an inference that the ball hitting the pins will cause the pins to
knock over. This is because you determined in your mind that given the laws of nature and past
experiences, the pins will fall over. Also, Hume believes that liberty, or free will, is the "power of
acting or not acting, according to the determinations of the will". For example, we have the power to
move or rest, unless physically bound. Logically, premise (1) is true because if we are both free and

Challenges to practitioner enquiry
In spite of the many praises that these procedures receive (Bruce et al., 2011) for being beneficial
for educators, practitioners enquiry, however, can also be challenging. According to Ellis and
Loughland (2016: 124), "a teacher will encounter either enabling or constraining factors when
engaging in practitioner research". For example, one could claim that some enquiries might be
biased, as the findings can easily be managed to fit particular results (Murray and Lawrence, 2013).
Louise Stoll (2003) illustrates how these research can become strictly related to the situations from
which they initially arise, thus losing relevance and possible application within other environments.
Another challenge to practitioner enquiry might be posed by the time needed to plan and carry out
the research to gather out evidence, while also working in a classroom. Gilchrist (2015) identifies
timing as one of the principal challenges and barriers to practitioner research, as often educators
might not be able to find an adequate balance between curricular work and research without having
to affect their classroom schedule and timetable. However, as Reeves (2007) demonstrates,
establishing a professional dialogue with "critical" colleagues in the wider educational community

  • 3. An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding By David Hume David Hume, the Scottish empiricism philosopher who endorses on all knowledge is obtained from sense–experience and he practices moderate skepticism for his entire academic life. Hume's moderate skepticism refers to abduction today in which it means inference to the best explanation. To it another way, he means credible belief is possible and genuine knowledge could be inaccurate. In the "section IV– Sceptical Doubts concerning the Operation of the Understanding" part two of the book "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", David Hume intends to clarify about how induction (moral reasoning) works in the knowledge of cause and effect. Accordingly, he shares " [i]n reality, all arguments from experience are founded on the similarity, which we discover among natural objects, and by which we are induced to expect effects similar to those, which we have found to follow from such objects" (p.23). Based upon his writing, Hume explains most people tend to reason a particular instance and expect the future outcome depending on their past experiences; they make conclusions with inductive reasoning. However, the induction has limitation because it doesn 't guarantee future instances will resemble previously observed ones. An example of induction argument: Previously, the temperature of mid summer in California has been always above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the temperature of mid summer in California will always be above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This argument uses ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. An Enquiry Of Human Understanding David Hume Analysis Since ancient times, people have been exposed to numerous stories of miracles, and quite frankly, the majority of them involve religions; even the ones who are not religious are familiar with Jesus turning water into wine and parting the red sea. However, a miracle itself is an extremely abstruse and complex concept; therefore requires much of a deeper and intimate understanding of what its true natures are. According to Oxford Dictionary, a miracle refers to "an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency", so even the most common definition recognizes that a miracle requires some kind of a religious force. However, who can truly argue that a miracle is a cause of a divine agency, and how can one prove that such divine agency is the God of a certain religion? In the book, "An Enquiry of Human Understanding", the author David Hume, an eminent philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist analyzes his views on miracles. On the preferential basis, Hume is an empiricist who believes that one's experience is the only guide in reasoning concerning matters of fact.

While many philosophers before him had been accused of atheism, Hume was the first to openly admit that he was. His most famous work being a three–part series A Treatise of Human Nature. One of these parts he calls Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. His goal was draw general principles that everyone can agree upon. Hume's belief was that there was a distinct difference between ideas and impressions. That impressions are derived from an immediate experiences, they are vivid and forceful.

I had been asleep in the back seat with my little sister and woke up for a brief moment just before the car began to flip as my mom cried out for God to help us. In that brief moment before everything in the car began to spin around me like a hurricane, I remember experiencing intense amounts of fear and confusion before I was knocked out by flying debris. When I regained consciousness I was outside of the car and surrounded by wreckage. I couldn't feel my legs and I couldn't find any of my family. I was in pain, scared and alone. When I think of this memory I can recall all the feelings I experienced at the time and important details but everything else is all a blur, the faces of the helicopter pilots, the trooper that wiped the blood out of my eyes, then names of the nurses that helped me pee every couple of 30 minutes because my legs were useless. All of these details are lost. The memory of the feelings remains but they thankfully are less intense then the moment in which it happened and become less vivid the more time passes. Impressions are, "All our more lively perceptions, when we hear, or see, or feel, or love, or hate, or desire, or will" (Hume).

He explained that establishing morals is a common strategy amongst all humans. However, there is controversy concerning how morals are made, whether they are based on reason or sentiment (emotion). Hume does not believe that morals are based off of 100% reason. He believes that humans base their morals on sentiment and that they cannot just make moral judgements based on reason alone. Hume says that reasoning deals with facts and that we can make conclusions from those facts, but reasoning alone cannot bring humans to choosing one option over another.

  • 8. Pedagogical Similarities Between Sankara And Mooji Mooji, in comparison to his historical counterpart Sankara, shares many pedagogical similarities, as well as some respective differences. In reference to Sankara's Upadeśasāhasri, Mooji shares major resemblances in how he delivers his teachings, notably the poetic manner in which he presents his works. Mooji's written works primarily consist of short poetic utterances, delivering a what could be categorized as a philosophically artistic teaching. Sankara's teachings are also presented in an vivid manner, priming the seeker who is studying with a mixed variety imagery and examples, such as the tale of Udaṅka, the sage who suspected Vishnu's urine from the Mahābhārata. Where they share the majority of their commonalities are in their teachings themselves. The nondual tenets in which Mooji propagates regards that of Sankara's with impeccable similarity. Mooji's philosophy, which is centered in the Advaita tradition, is heavily influenced by his master Papaji and Sri Ramana Maharshi, both of which propagated the Advaita tradition to a certain degree, as in fact, R. Maharshi actually translated much of Sankara's work into Tamil and was incredibly proficient in Vedantic scripture. Being said, it should then not come to surprise that him and Sankara put forth near identical ideological tenets in some categorical respects. For example, one tenet which is incredibly prominent throughout the entirety Sankara's Upadeśasāhasri, is his notion of action–less action. He propagates that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding In his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume explores the relationships between human experience, knowledge, and understanding. He clarifies that since humans have only their experience to base their understanding of reality on, experience creates the conception we have of the fundamental, natural rules that govern the world. He defines a "miracle" as an event that violates those "laws of nature". Hume emphasizes that although a person's testimony can be taken as a form of evidence for the occurrence of an event, in the case of miracles, testimony is deeply suspect and a person should almost never believe a miracle has occurred based on it. It is my belief that Hume's argument is persuasive, and that the testimony that a miracle ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding By David Hume Essay Universal Perfect Doesn't Exist: Genuine Knowledge Means Shift It has been many years, the foundation of all genuine knowledge, whether they are found on experience (empiricism) or they could simply gain from pure reasoning (rationalism) has been the subject of academic debate among scholars. However, we will only focus on the limitation of pure reasoning, compare both David Hume and Rene Descartes' views of knowledge, and decide whose belief works better to attain genuine knowledge in this paper. In the book "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding", David Hume specifically clarifies on how moral reasoning (induction) works in the knowledge of cause and effect and he shares on its limitation. Accordingly, he writes " [i]n reality, all arguments from experience are founded on the similarity, which we discover among natural objects, and by which we are induced to expect effects similar to those, which we have found to follow from such objects" (p. 23).

  • 11. Reflection Of White Fire When we account for all Mooji's teachings, he presents his philosophy in a myriad of ways. He has six publications, four which are authored solely by him. His first authored book, Writing on Water , is a collection of spontaneous 'utterances' and original artwork. Here, Mooji delivers crisp spiritual insights and directs his teachings in a poetic manner. His focus in this book is more general, speaking on numerable topics, such as the nature of the Self, the ego–mind, the path of the disciple, as well as illuminating some understanding to what the master's role is and their relation to the disciple. His second publication, Before I am , is a selection of dialogues in a four–year span between Mooji and a mixed array of intrigued seekers whom he has encountered and had the fortune of meeting and conversing with. Before I am expounds on a wide range of topics, such as the nature of Awareness, our perceptual desires and fears, and the place for the mind's logical and rational functions within in our practice. It also reveals the most pressing questions that seekers have presented in their meetings with Mooji, which can vary from being humorous at times, and sensitive at others. White Fire, Mooji's third authored book, and his longest, is a selection of spontaneous spiritual insights, teachings and original artwork. White Fire displays a variety of Mooji's philosophical tenets, placing added emphasis on the ego–mind, which he claims to be the primordial cause of our ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume Essay The way in which a concept comes to exist in one's mind is itself a concept worth examining. Many philosophers have looked for the origin of thought in the human mind, and many different reasons for this origin have been put forth. As a philosopher, it is only fitting that Hume would propose his own framework for human thinking. For Hume, perceptions are developed either as the understanding of the outside world, or as recollections of these events or alterations of these memories within the mind¹. This distinction is important, as it allows Hume to differentiate perceptions as true or false notions. With this, Hume puts forward his concepts of belief and fiction. Belief is defined in perceptions that one, simply put, believes, and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... #17–18). The force of a perception one has is directly tied to the reasoning that is employed as one considers the observation. Perceptions that exist in the mind are broken into two categories by Hume; these are the matters of fact and the relations of ideas (p. 25). Relations of ideas are created solely within the mind (p. 25). As one considers concepts of mathematics, such as "2+2=4," he would think of this as a true statement. Conversely, as one thinks of creatures such as sirens or hippogriffs, the thought is disregarded as a thing of the imagination. This is because ideas in the mind are created as copies of impressions. The idea of such a simple concept in algebra would appear evident to someone, as this individual is likely to have a strong impression of the concept. However, it is unlikely or impossible for the impression of a siren to exist inside someone, and thus the idea of sirens would be weak. Here, the difference in belief and fiction is evidenced. Belief in some impression or idea comes with the force of the perception, and perceptions which hold no force are seen as fiction. While belief and fiction can be seen in relations of ideas, examining matters of fact allows for a much deeper understanding of the concepts. While relations of ideas are conceived within the mind, matters of fact are generated through interactions with the external world. These ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

John Locke: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Critical Reflection 4 John Locke: Essay Concerning Human Understanding David Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Immanuel Kant: Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals The purpose of the passage is to discuss the reasons why Locke is right in terms of disagreeing with the notions of innate. The way I will achieve this is by agreeing with points made by Locke against the principles of innate. According, to the innate human beings have specific knowledge when they are born that is they are born with some inborn knowledge. And according to Locke's view point this is not true.

His writing was not difficult to understand, he clearly mentioned the two types of philosophical thinking and distinguished them with strong viewpoints. As stated above, I agree with his best opposition made against the second philosophical thinking, according to him this type of thinking is not related to science. Philosophers like, Aristotle and Locke have made their points confusing, only some points could be related to science. In today's time everything is science so, the points which are vague should be left and now the worth and understandable principles should be studied carefully, as mentioned by Hume. I feel that the principles or the theories given by philosophers which are proved correct by the science, should be encouraged. This way there would be less to study, but will be more meaningful and significant. So, I wholeheartedly endorse what David Hume has stated in his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 14. In Hume’S Writings, The Treatise And Enquiry, He Makes In Hume's writings, the Treatise and Enquiry, he makes an attempt to reform philosophy, claiming that philosophical systems prior to his own work had "convinced him philosophy was in a sorry state and in dire need of reform" (4 Stanford). One of Hume's motivations for writing his own works is that ancient philosophers and natural philosophers both had made errors in developing theories Hume felt were entirely too hypothetical (4 Stanford). He claimed that these philosophers had made claims "based on speculation and invention rather than experience and observation" (4 Stanford). Additionally, Hume was an advocate for natural philosophy, arguing that it wasn't as speculative as the philosophy of the ancients. In Hume's Enquiry, he discusses ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Hume's claim that the only semblance of causation we're able to discover is that one idea or thing follows from another, fails to recognize that we discover necessary causation through simple experiences almost daily. While it may be the case that we truly cannot see the connection between why we can move our limbs, but cannot alter the state of some organs or control their actions through experience alone, we can discover the causal relationship between other things. Hume argues that "while the impulse of one billiard ball is attended with motion in the second[,] this is the whole that appears to the outward senses" (Hume 558). His claim is that "the mind feels no sentiment or inward impression from this succession of objects" and that as a result, there is nothing derived from the experience that suggests "the idea of power or necessary connection" (Hume 558). However, that which we perceive with our outward senses does allow us to derive a necessary connection between ideas or things. We are able to observe that the necessary connection allowing the billiard ball to move is that another object interferes and causes its motion. We know this through experience because we consistently perceive another object interfering and causing the effect of the ball's motion. In this sense, we can perceive many necessary connections, as the same is true with cutting ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Evaluation Of A Reflective Research Enquiry Reflective Research Enquiry Essay Resubmission In this problem formulation resubmission, I hope to offer a thoughtful and systematic, yet lightly held formulation to make sense of my clients suffering and where her problems stem from. I will initially look at her attachment style and then look at how she was greeted and held by her early environment with the help of Winnicot. To this I will add relational perspectives to understand where and how she struggles in adult relationships. Finally some transpersonal perspective will also be added to further understand her current struggles. D's attachment style Due to the circumstances of her early childhood D leans towards an Insecure– Ambivalent Attachment style. Typical characteristics of this style is a lack of trust in others, as well as anxieties around not being lovable. Also difficulties with commitment, and a minimising of the need for attachment and intimacy, because of lack confidence in its availability. There is also a strong reaction to separation as well as a tendency to isolate. Early environment D was raised in a single parent household by a mother struggling with chronic substance abuse issues. Due to the chaotic nature of addiction it is likely that her mother found it difficult to be present enough to give her the constant emotional, attunement necessary for her early development and to be what Winnicott calls "a good enough mother."

  • 17. An Inquiry Into Human Enquiry 26837567 Philosophy 4 15 April 2016 An Inquiry into Human Enquiry In An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume argues for the division of human enquiry into two types: relations of ideas and matters of fact. Relations of ideas are certain and may be found through only thinking, while matters of fact are uncertain and depend on the world around us (Hume 18–19). I will argue in this paper that Hume's view on human enquiry is conceivable but that there remain some reasons to doubt the accuracy of his categorization. Hume argues in "Sceptical Doubts Concerning the Operations of the Understanding" that all of human enquiry falls into two areas, relations of ideas and matters of fact. I will begin by examining relations of ideas. Hume describes relations of ideas as discoverable through only thinking and calls them "intuitively or demonstratively certain" (Hume 19). We cannot envision the reverse of these relations of ideas. For example, we cannot picture a circular square because that goes against the very definition of a square. A key feature of a contradiction is its inconceivability, so our inability to conjure a contradiction to a relation of ideas serves as a reason to believe Hume's view. I will now inspect the second group, matters of fact. Matters of fact concern what is the case, and one can imagine the opposite of a matter of fact since it could potentially happen (Hume 19). For example, if I live in a house on the beach, I know that I can see ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

These philosophers have written various works to spread and support their ideologies. One philosopher who wrote about moral thinking and judgement was Hume, supporting his ideologies in An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals. In this written work he stated that the ultimate source of moral judgement was feelings. Additionally, he states that an individual's moral thinking was influenced by reason. Although reason and sentiments work together towards moral judgement, the ultimate source of moral judgement is sentiments.

Durkheim's analysis of religion was developed using principles of positivism and organicism (Hamilton 2014, p. 104). Positivism and methodological individualism were both consequences of liberal extremism, with their roots in the political philosophy of the Enlightenment. During this period philosophy began to associate with science and rationality, leading to the creation of the social sciences (Hamilton 2014, pp. 103–104). In contrast, organicism was largely conservative and influenced by theology. This view explains that society is a divine creation; a transcendent and unwavering phenomenon (Hamilton 2014, p. 104). Durkheim combined these two traditions to develop his theory of knowledge and religion. By treating religion as a collective social experience, Durkheim positioned his analysis of human thought within the social environment (Hamilton 2014, p. 103; Repstad & Furseth 2013, p. 32; Turner 2010, p. 54). Essentially, Durkheim regarded religion as a secondary form of scientific knowledge; a mental process linking human activity to the natural environment (Hamilton 2014, p. 103). He maintained that religion permeates into all areas of human life. Further, it divides society into sacred and profane areas that guide an individual (Hamilton 2014, p. 105). Durkheim's use of the term sacred signifies religious articles and actions, and the participation in religious rituals.

The Body as a Site for Enquiry in Art and Fashion The body as a site for enquiry in art and fashion Introduction Dressing defines the outward arrangement of materials and objects in the body of human beings. Dressing does not only include clothing but also other accessories, makeup and hairstyle. Dressing is an important feature to humankind. Over the ages dressing has evolved to various designs and styles to meet the desires of man and trends. The basic reason for dressing/clothing is protection and warmth, although dressing functions to communicate our identities and cultures. Apart from the basic need of clothing, other purposes of dressing are beauty, modesty, ritual purposes and style. Dressing makes us look attractive and confident over a period. Cultural practices and beliefs define what a society view as modesty in dressing. Some cultures' dressing does not require covering of the whole body and still people view it as a modest way of dressing. Other cultures view modes as covering most of the body parts when dressing. Dressing also specifies rituals and ceremony to express the outward meaning of the ceremony. Most people in societies today view dressing as a form of expressing a sense of fashion. Fashion is a way in which a certain accepted form of dressing transforms to meet the requirements of people, environment and trend. Fashion can be an art but art cannot be fashion. An individual can express his art in fashion, but an artist cannot do so. There is, however, a big connection between art and fashion. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Enquiry based learning can be implemented in P.E by providing experiences which allow the children to self–learn and self–teach which gives them opportunities to practice and develop problem solving and decision making skills. It is important that enquiry is used in physical education especially because not only does it improve mental abilities but also helps with physical development and knowledge of the body in action. "In practice, personalising learning means that a P.E teacher is able to identify and support a pupil or a group of pupils who have limited understanding of the lesson". (Armour, 2014). As a teacher, I could start of a lesson by questioning the pupils with "how many different ways can you pass the ball?" and through this question the children will try out different ways on how to pass a ball and begin to learn through a leading question. With this, you could get the children to play different games which encourage teamwork, set goals and think of things like how the body changes with each pass of the ball.

  • 23. David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding In An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume ponders the idea of causality setting himself as the skeptic. According to Hume, although it may seem there are two incidents happening, one after the other, it is nearly impossible to identify the connection. It is with this, that Hume disputes the idea of causality. It is possible that one thing causes another; however, it is just as plausible to conceive that it does not. A may follow B, but it is still possible that A does not cause B. Despite this, we still understandably assume that what follows from one another is cause and effect. Hume claims that the confidence we hold in causation in created through these repetitive experiences and thus this intuition cannot be confirmed nor denied. Furthermore, Hume also believes that those who misleadingly trust that there is a necessary connection within nature will resist this opinion. Additionally, Hume believes that causal happenings are not necessary relations between objects or events, but are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

On the other hand, he explains that matters of fact are truths made through what is experienced. Matters of fact are recognized through what is cause and effect. Our experience towards one instance can dictate what is expected of a cause that never actually happened.

Hume comes to the conclusion that because human beings are incapable of perceiving the "necessary connexion" in cause and effect relationships, "cause" is nothing but the "idea" or impression of power or action. To illustrate his argument, the philosopher relies on his definitions of (1) impressions (immediate sensory perceptions) and (2) ideas (recollections of impressions that build upon each other and increase in complexity.) Over the course of the section, Hume attempts to prove that no impression exists that would suggest a connection or power between two objects/events. Thus, the "causation" apparent is formed of our expectation that one event will follow the other; in reality, human beings lack the capacity to perceive connection between two entities. ...

Sentiment is a function of the individual whereas reason is a function of the universe. The universe as a whole must follow reason, but the catch is that each individual's universe is slightly different in that each individual perceives his or her universe differently. "What each man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment." (p.14) That is to say each person's individual universe has truths. These truths are based on reason. These truths/reasons are what help to determine the person's sentiment. However, it should be noted that because the reasons are NOT necessarily the person's sentiments, they do not motivate actions. One other reason why reason does not impel action is because reason is based on truths. Truths are never changing whereas sentiments are dynamic and are in a constant change of flux.

This section is an extended argument against the veracity of miracles. In response to Hume, Richard Price published Four Dissertations in 1768. In Dissertation IV, The Importance of Christianity, the Nature of Historical Evidence and Miracles, Price outlines a Bayesian argument against Hume's conclusions that miracles cannot ever occur. My thesis is that Price's Bayesian argument, arguably the first use of Bayes' Theorem to challenge another published argument fails. It fails on three fronts: it mischaracterizes Hume's argument as non–conditional; it improperly employs a Bayesian model test case of newspaper reporting; and it does not consider the effects of the preliminary seeding of probabilities for its Bayesian model of miracles. 1.0 Hume's Argument Against Miracles Hume's argument is multi–faceted but most commentators (Millican, Earman) agree that the key summary occurs in paragraph 13. The plain consequence is (and 'tis a general maxim worthy of our attention) "That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavours to establish..."

In this situation, Hume argues, the need for justice would be gone, as anything taken from you can be easily replaced. There are, however, numerous examples of this being entirely incorrect. Take, for example, Hume's statement that this even applies to land, when it is in extreme abundance. However, you recall the Kansas Land Rush of 1889. In this situation, land was in the millions of acres, all waiting to be had, and yet dozens were killed over one small parcel of it. Jealousy and envy are not dispelled by mere abundance. A troubling factor in Hume's explanations of justice is that they all entail property justice. And what a small part of justice that is! In Hume's utopia, then, a man whose wife leaves him for another would merely shrug his shoulders and go order a new one? And what consideration would be given, in absence of "useful" justice, to a man who was stabbed in an argument? Mere abundance of resources is hardly a thing to alleviate all problems.

He goes on to provide the reason for which arguments that claim to "foresee"(Hume 22) are limited to probability. His reasoning is that these arguments intend to prove that the future will look like the past, yet do so by assuming that "the future will be conformable to the past"(Hume 23) thus plaguing them with circuitous logic. (Hume 23) What Hume means is that the point in question which is sought to be resolved, is done so by assuming that this point will hold true, thus using the assumption that something will hold true to prove that this same thing will hold true. Additionally, this argument's grounding in an assumption which may or may not hold true, makes it probable due to its foundation built on a probable factor, almost like a tower built on sand. Hume's negative argument for reasoned foresight based in experience hinges upon the claim that these arguments lack a "medium"(Hume 22) by which the future can be shown to be conformable to the past, stating that these arguments are based in assumptions, which make them nothing more than probable.

(Premise) 4) Therefore, we are free and we are determined. ^I, 2,3 5) Therefore, the freedom of the will is compatible with determinism. E 1,4 The argument is valid because step (4) follows from (2) and (3) through the Conjunction Introduction Rule, and (5) follows from premise (1) and step (4) through the Disjunction Elimination rule. ...

According to Hume, the doctrine of necessity, or determinism, is our mind making determined inferences about an event in accordance with the laws of nature. Basically, Hume argues that the inference we make about future events, given past events, is determinism. For example, when you are bowling, you make an inference that the ball hitting the pins will cause the pins to knock over. This is because you determined in your mind that given the laws of nature and past experiences, the pins will fall over. Also, Hume believes that liberty, or free will, is the "power of acting or not acting, according to the determinations of the will". For example, we have the power to move or rest, unless physically bound. Logically, premise (1) is true because if we are both free and determined, then freedom must work with ...

  • 40. Essay On Practitioner Enquiry Through teacher–led research, the findings which are generated through the gathered evidence for these enquiries can be employed by policy–makers and other governmental bodies in order to inform the production of new educational policies that are "evidence–supported" and not "evidence– based", as all evidence must always be analysed carefully in order to avoid occurring in biased results (Pollard, 2014, online), and have a relevance within a classroom setting. The benefits of practitioner enquiry By advocating for a curriculum that encourages processes and puts children's learning at its centre, the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence (Education Scotland, online) provides educators with chances to enhance professional learning by promoting ...

Challenges to practitioner enquiry In spite of the many praises that these procedures receive (Bruce et al., 2011) for being beneficial for educators, practitioners enquiry, however, can also be challenging. According to Ellis and Loughland (2016: 124), "a teacher will encounter either enabling or constraining factors when engaging in practitioner research". For example, one could claim that some enquiries might be biased, as the findings can easily be managed to fit particular results (Murray and Lawrence, 2013). Louise Stoll (2003) illustrates how these research can become strictly related to the situations from which they initially arise, thus losing relevance and possible application within other environments. Another challenge to practitioner enquiry might be posed by the time needed to plan and carry out the research to gather out evidence, while also working in a classroom. Gilchrist (2015) identifies timing as one of the principal challenges and barriers to practitioner research, as often educators might not be able to find an adequate balance between curricular work and research without having to affect their classroom schedule and timetable. However, as Reeves (2007) demonstrates, establishing a professional dialogue with "critical" colleagues in the wider educational community or other researchers expert in the field would allow ...
