Emotivism vs Subjectivism
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page philosophical essay. In determining the value of methods, it is necessary to examine just what they are and the potential value of each. It is also necessary to examine their shortcomings in order to be aware of them, and perhaps even lead to the conclusion that specific methods may actually be worth only the exercise of evaluating them, rather than being of value for arriving at sound, logical conclusions or proofs. Such would seem to be the case with both emotivism and subjectivism. Both are based on premises outside of hard, logical facts, and so it is difficult to quantify any conclusion that has been determined through the use of either emotivism or subjectivism. One cited source.

Empiricism vs. Nativism - Does Innate Knowledge Exist?
[ send me this essay ]
A 9 page paper discussing whether knowledge is innate, as held by Plato, Descartes and Kant, or whether empiricists such as John Locke are more correct in their views of the origin of knowledge. The old arguments of the classic philosophers are more difficult to support in today's society and technological innovation, and it is language that is most widely discussed as having innate connections. Chomsky fell from favor in the 1980s, but linguistic nativism has been revived in recent years. Linguistic nativism cannot explain behavior such as a mother preparing for a first child, but varying "if-then" considerations lead to the conclusion that empiricism and nativism can coexist on a continuum, with neither being fully acceptable on its own merits. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Empiricism: The Only Truly Scientific Basis For Sociological Research
[ send me this essay ]
14 pages. Empiricism, which is defined as understanding through experience and interaction, has been a long-challenged concept when it comes to it being the only truly scientific basis for sociological research. Following upon the assertion that priori knowledge does not exist in relation to human behavior, the fundamental basis for empiricism is that events, feelings, etc. must first be experienced before they can be realized.
