PHIL 1010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Compatibilism, Confirmation Bias, Determinism
Document Summary
Formulated the deductive inferences: allows you to derive all math. Theories of reference: what words refer to (refer to philosophical methods) Truth conditions what makes a sentence true. Clarification on the vale of philosophy: russell does not try to make the universe like man antkocentricism (confirmation bias). He wants to aim at truth (though there is no direct truth). : philosophy leads to bigger and separate sciences and the scraps are called philosophy: philosophy or truth should not be directly sought. Instead, distancing from the self is a better bet because it will help to stray from inside the box thinking. Two types of value: instrumental: valuable to get something. Money: intrinsic (final): valuable in of themselves. No control over our genetics (reflexes/instincts) and the way we are raised. Deals with our actions that we decide upon. There are still actions that we endorse even if we can"t control how we came to be.
