Introduction unit 4 (1)
This document discusses the crisis of Greek civilization after the Peloponnesian War. It introduces several famous Greek philosophers from this era including Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. It focuses on Aristotle, describing him as a "lover of knowledge" who used deductive reasoning to logically deduce conclusions from true premises, such as deducing that the world was round centuries before Columbus. The document provides an example of deductive reasoning using frogs and concludes with an assignment asking students to use deductive reasoning to deduce the location of a party and where out-of-towners will stay.
Claims evidence and reasoning presentation
The document provides instructions on how to write a scientific explanation using a claim, evidence, and reasoning. It explains that a claim answers the original question, evidence supports the claim, and reasoning connects the evidence to the claim. It then gives an example of analyzing what happened to a man named Mr. Xavier, with a claim that he was murdered by overdosing on heart medication, evidence like fingerprints and traces of medication, and reasoning that this evidence proves the brother committed the crime. Finally, it discusses analyzing real-world claims and providing homework to construct a claim, evidence, and reasoning.
The Future of Global Language and the Rise of Chinese Terminologies
The document discusses the future of global languages and the rise of Chinese terminology. It notes that languages often compete for dominance through the definitions and translations of important concepts and terms. As Chinese grows in influence and use globally, many terms are being translated from their original languages into Chinese. However, different translators may interpret and translate terms in various ways, competing for the standard or dominant translation. This competition could impact which language and culture holds sovereignty over the definition of ideas and thoughts in the future as Chinese continues spreading worldwide.

"Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Ancient Civilizations and Modern Scientific Discoveries”
Throughout millennia, people of all nationalities and religions have speculated on the idea of extraterrestrial contact. With over half the world’s population believing in some form of alien life, it is difficult to discount the possibility. The religions of the world, as of 2012, are 33% Christian, 24% Muslim, and 15% Hindu (The Top Three Religions) (Grover, 2018). Each of these religions share a commonality in the form of extraterrestrial life. Christians and Muslims refer to extraterrestrials as angels, while Hinduism refers to them as "gods". Nearly all of the ancient religions, from around the world, refer to extraterrestrials in one way or another. Greeks, Romans, Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Egyptians all believed in extraterrestrials, in the form of their "gods". With over half of the world’s population believing in extraterrestrial life, and nearly 80% of the world population believing in a mainstream religion, is the idea of extraterrestrial life still controversial?
In the Peer-reviewed journal, titled “Strategic Ignorance and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Critiquing the Discursive Segregation of UFOs from Scientific Inquiry”, outlines the underlying issue, regarding scientific stigma on the study and communication of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The scientific community, as a whole, inhibits public understanding of science, dissuades academic inquiry within the physical and social sciences, and undermines progressive space policy initiatives.

Hawking was quoted as stating “we don’t seem to have been visited by aliens”, “I am discounting the reports of UFO’s”, Why would they only appear to cranks and weirdos?”, Despite an extensive search by the SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) project, we haven’t heard any alien television quiz show. This probably indicates that there are no alien civilizations at our stage of development within the radius of a few h ...

Science/Frankenstein Essay
This document discusses the relationship between science and reality through an analysis of Frankenstein. It addresses how science can enable both benefits like medical advances but also risks if experiments go wrong. It examines several types of science including stem cell research, artificial intelligence, and cloning. While recognizing science's potential, the document argues it should have limitations and oversight to avoid unintended consequences like Victor Frankenstein's creation. Overall, it believes science will continue solving problems but must be pursued carefully.
Week 4 The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind.docx
Week 4: The Problem of Suffering and God’s Existence and the Mind/Body Problem
Overview
A 2012 Pew survey demonstrated that 68% of Americans believe in the notion of God or a “universal spirit.” This week’s materials will provide you with a portal for examining philosophical arguments for and against God’s existence.
You will investigate one of the primary reasons for skepticism about God’s existence – the problem of suffering. Suffering is part of the human condition, and we have all experienced it in varying degrees. For many, the fact of suffering means it is impossible to believe in an all-powerful, all-good, and all-knowing God.
Richard Rubenstein, a Jewish rabbi and religious studies scholar, is an example. He famously argued that it was no longer possible to believe in God after Auschwitz, for surely an all-good and all-powerful being would have intervened in human affairs to stop the brutal suffering of millions of people (1992). But another rabbi and scholar, Eliezer Berkovits comes to the opposite conclusion. He argues that the problem of suffering, specifically the Holocaust, is not a problem for God, but a problem for human beings (Berkovits, 1973). It was human beings who perpetrated the crimes against humanity, not God. You will wrestle with problem of suffering and determine where you stand on the issue.
You will also explore the mind/body problem. This branch of philosophy raises questions about the relationship between the mind and body. Specifically, we will investigate the nature of the self. At some point in our lives, most of us have asked the question, “Who am I”? This topic will allow you to investigate modern and contemporary conceptions of the self and determine how they might help you better understand the nature of the self.
There are a number of important questions that arise when addressing this topic. Do human beings possess a soul? If so, what is a soul, and how does it differ from a body? Is the soul the essence of who we are as human beings? (In other words, is the soul the nature of the self?) Dualism, most famously popularized by Descartes, maintains that human beings possess an immaterial, rational soul housed in a physical body. Importantly, the soul is the essence of the self.
Dualism allowed Descartes to maintain his commitment to Christianity, but it has been soundly criticized for its failure to account for the interaction between the soul (or mind) and body: how does an immaterial substance like the soul (or the mind) interact with a physical body? A number of alternatives to Cartesian dualism have been proposed. These run along a continuum, ranging from the behaviorism (there is no self/soul) to physicalism (the self is reducible to brain functions). As you work through this material, ask yourself which account provides the best explanation for the nature of the self and why?

Why We and the Universe Exist
This document provides a summary of a chapter that discusses finding the "Mind of God" through understanding why humans and the universe exist. It discusses the failures of both religion and science to fully explain these questions. The author had a revelation that led them to understand the universe as a living system composed of both a living spiritual world and a material spiritual world. They propose the universe exists as two spiritual worlds that exist in two phases, a creative manifesting phase and a manifested state phase, in order to conquer time and perpetuate. This theory is said to help explain concepts in physics like the multiverse and M-theory.
The folk psychology of souls (bering 2006)
This document discusses people's folk psychology of souls and belief in an afterlife. It presents three key points:
1. Young children seem to naturally view the mind as continuing after death, even if they understand the body stops functioning. This default view decreases with age and exposure to cultural beliefs, suggesting it is not solely learned.
2. People have difficulty imagining a complete lack of consciousness and may attribute mental states like emotions and knowledge to the dead due to constraints in simulating what non-existence is like.
3. An organized cognitive system may have evolved to form illusory representations of psychological immortality, the intelligent design of the self, and meaning of life events, in response to social pressures in
9_Churchland_against_Dualism.pdf
The document summarizes Paul Churchland's critique of dualism. Churchland is a materialist who believes thought occurs solely in the physical brain. He defines dualism broadly as any view that sees consciousness as residing in something nonphysical. Churchland argues against dualism using four main points: 1) the interaction problem of how nonphysical minds could causally interact with physical bodies; 2) Ockham's razor principle that dualism posits unnecessary entities; 3) the neural dependence of mental phenomena on brain states; and 4) that evolutionary history explains the origin of the mind physically, making a nonphysical component implausible.
Use Dialogue to Unleash Your Creative Potential
The document discusses six processes of dialogue that can help unleash creative potential: listening, sharing, imagining, feeling, questioning, and seeing. It provides guidance on each process, such as emphasizing empathy in listening, sharing communication etiquette, using random association to imagine, and clarifying questions to see from new perspectives. The overall message is that engaging in open discussion through these dialogue processes can lead to new insights and knowledge.

This document discusses different types of research: pure research, original research, and secondary research. Pure research is done simply to gain knowledge without a particular purpose, exploring various topics and sources. Original research aims to discover new information not yet found. Secondary research examines existing research from others to draw new conclusions or relationships between studies. Research can also be directed, with a specific focus or goal, or non-directed for general learning without an objective. Research challenges preconceptions and requires defining terms and considering evidence objectively.

The only way_out
This document provides an introduction to a book titled "The ONLY WAY Out: A Guide for Truth Seekers" by Abdullah S. Al-Shehri. It discusses how man has always sought answers to fundamental questions about life and reality through various approaches including philosophy, science and religion. However, these approaches often lead to more confusion and uncertainties. The document argues that religion may provide a way to answer these questions and dismiss longstanding uncertainties, if properly understood. It provides background on the nature and definition of religion, and discusses how religion is an integral part of human experience that has endured despite attempts to reject or eradicate it. The remainder of the book will explore these issues further.
Doing Philosophy
Human beings have a unique ability to reason and be self-aware, unlike computers which simply manipulate information. Philosophy involves abstract thinking about existence and our place in the world. It allows us to determine if questions are meaningful and work through problems logically to obtain valid conclusions. The method of philosophy can be applied to any field of human inquiry to arrive at well-reasoned conclusions.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Prompt: Consider the following passage: “Tim Tully already has [a drug] in the works. If marketed, the drug could be used within twenty-four hours of a trauma, and it would delete your memory of the trauma, along with whatever else happened that day. Such a drug could be used for survivors of terrible events, terrorist bombings, plane crashes, vicious personal attacks” (Slater 220). Should we allow Tully and other pharmaceutical companies to continue to pursue such a drug? 8:007:307:006:306:005:305:004:304:003:303:002:302:001:301:00:30:00

- 13. “Memory makes us who we are. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Memory is narrative giving continuity and meaning to our existence” (Slater 216). Do you really think our memories make us who we are and if we lose some of our memory we will repeat our past or do something similar to it?
