Logic of Scientific Inquiry
[ send me this paper ]
Epistemology, or the basic logic and assumptions that underlie systematic, scientific inquiry is based on the fact that scientific knowledge as 'responding construction' is dependent on cognitive relations to reality other than those generated through the senses and through theoretical reflection, which includes the experience of judgment rooted in the self-awareness of the subject. Another approach to analysis of the practices of knowing is critical scrutiny of the sociohistorical context of research programs. The socio-cognitive perspective purports that ideas about reality are constructed through interactions that are processes of meaning creation. This 20 page paper examines different knowledge systems, the purpose of research, the processes of deductive and inductive reasoning, nomothetic and idiosyncratic approaches and normal as compared to revolutionary science. It looks at many of the elements of scientific method such as causality, correlation, necessary and sufficient conditions and types of theories. Bibliography lists 24 sources.

Happiness in the Eyes of Some Philosophers
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. While it is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the same can be said about happiness. There is no one way to define happiness, although many have tried. What gives one person joy may not elicit the same response in another. By studying the words of some of the great philosophers, however, one can get an overall realization of what might bring happiness in the world in which we live. This paper considers the writings of Plato, Marx, Hegel and Sartre to determine what each of them felt defined happiness. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
