Every day, we make decisions to minimize conflicts and disruptions to make peace with ourselves and people around us. Every day, we take actions to smooth out inconsistencies and irregularities to make our lives look manageable and meaningful. Every day, we perform our duties to our families and our professional organizations to present an image of loyalty and responsibility. Yet, despite our best efforts, we know that we must have missed a great deal of opportunities and overlooked a lot of options because we, knowingly or unknowingly, tend to be...

[Revised entry by Eva Del Soldato on September 18, 2023.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
Natural philosophy, as distinguished from metaphysics and mathematics, is traditionally understood to encompass a wide range of subjects which Aristotle included in the physical sciences. According to this classification, natural philosophy is the science of those beings which undergo change and are independent of human beings. This vast field of inquiry was described in Aristotelian treatises such as Physics, On the Heavens, On Generation and Corruption, Meteorology, History of Animals, On the Parts of Animals, On the...

Kant’s Philosophy of Science
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2023-9-19 10:36)

[Revised entry by Eric Watkins and Marius Stan on September 18, 2023.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
Kant's philosophy of science has received attention from several different audiences and for a variety of reasons. It is of interest to contemporary philosophers of science because of the way in which Kant attempts to articulate a philosophical framework that places substantive conditions on our scientific knowledge of the world while still respecting the autonomy and diverse claims of particular sciences. Of enduring interest is also his doctrine of laws, including those of scientific theories....

Normative Theories of Rational Choice: Expected Utility
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

[Revised entry by R. A. Briggs on September 18, 2023.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
We must often make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Pursuing a degree in biology may lead to lucrative employment, or to unemployment and crushing debt. A doctor's appointment may result in the early detection and treatment of a disease, or it may be a waste of money. Expected utility theory is an account of how to choose rationally when you are not sure which outcome will result from your acts. Its basic slogan is: choose the act with the highest expected...

Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Properties
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2023-9-19 9:35)
|
[Revised entry by Dan Marshall and Brian Weatherson on September 18, 2023.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography, non-disjunctive.html]
We have some of our properties purely in virtue of the way we are. (Our mass is an example.) We have other properties in virtue of the way we interact with the world. (Our weight is an example.) The former are the intrinsic properties, the latter are the extrinsic properties. This seems to be an intuitive enough distinction to grasp, and hence the intuitive distinction has made its way into many discussions in philosophy, including discussions in ethics, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of physics. Unfortunately,...
