Abstract An ongoing project in the philosophy of science and medicine is effort to articulate a form relativism about that can find path between strongly realist pernicious relativist poles. Recent scholarship on has described characteristics must have order be considered thoroughgoing relativism. These include non-absolutism, multiplicity, dependence, incompatibility, equal validity non-neutra...

one of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. in this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. in an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. for the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

Psychiatric disorders are among the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet fewer than 25 % of affected individuals are estimated to have access to treatment. In many low-income settings, it is estimated that less than 10 % of affected individuals are able to access basic mental health care and, even when they do, it is often below minimum ethical and clinical standards [1]. The discipline o...

Paradigms are sets of prior assumptions that configure ways of seeing. This article employs a notion taken from Web of Life to map how paradigms in marketing have proliferated according to their juxtaposition within three criteria, namely structure, pattern and process. The exercise, termed “paradigmapping”, provides a useful picture of the relative positioning of selected contributions to the ...

Richard Rorty’s critics often considered him a relativist and subjectivist, but he should be described as particular type of sceptic: an ironist. The accusations relativism subjectivism only apply to philosophy if we evaluate it through the lenses very perspective seeks reject - path bit senseless taken. To illustrate, I will consider comment on some criticisms raised against Rorty by Hilary Pu...

Through a case study of the paintings and writings William Dunlap, well-known figure in early Republican art discourse United States, this essay argues for re-evaluation art-historical thinking at turn nineteenth century.

In today’s network society policy analysis is more and more implemented by means of participatory approaches and methods. This is induced by the fact that power and knowledge are widely distributed among various groups of network actors (stakeholders). The network characteristics of our (western) societies (Castells, 1996) more or less force us to look at policy analysis from a more relativist ...

Social constructivists argue that what we call “nature” is far less universal and extrahuman than generally assumed. Yet this argument has been vigorously attacked by some natural scientists and other scholars due to what they perceive as its dangerous flirtation with relativism. I introduce this debate by reference to a recent controversy over the concept of wilderness, an important icon of na...

the term paradigm hase penetrated in the web of many fields form natural to social sciences. therefore, for each researcher, understanding it's concept and dimensions is necessary. it is become to a common term in philsophy of science. there are many definitions of paradigm, but we can define it as: a set of believes and basic assumptions that are reflected in the ontology, epistemology an...

It is highly plausible that the region of space-time far from an isolated gravitating body is, in some sense, asymptotically Minkowskian. However theoretical studies of the full nonlin-ear theory, initiated by Bondi et al. careful, clever, a-priori choices of chart (and tetrad) and so are not readily accessible to the numerical relativist, who chooses her/his chart on the basis of quite differe...
