DYNAMIC-SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY


Chose one of the three Samples as the most analogous to the Model, and write it down, with your reasoning.

25.- Energy-Thermal

Cardinal Points-North
Love-Warmth
Friction-Heat

26.- Sylogism-Logic

Induction-Generalization
Sophism-Phallacy
Deduction-Particularization

CHOICE AND EXPLANATION

25.- Cardinal Points-North :-) Thermic is one of the several kinds of Energy. North is one of the Cardinal Points. On the other hand, Love is an emotion, its relation to Warmth being metaphorical.
Friction is a way of applying kynetic energy to get another type of Energy: Heat and static electricity. The attribute in this case is of being one member of a class.

26.- Deduction-Particularization :-) Although Sophism-Phallacy appears to be antithetically parallel to Syllogism-Logic, sophisms have not been developed with the universal purpose of reaching a fallacious conclusion. Syllogic, on the other hand, is the branch of Logic that deals with the different classes of syllogisms, whose purposes are to obtain valid conclusions. For instance, if the major premise is, "Overeating always leads to obesity," and the minor premise is, "My friend overeats," the conclusion ias, "My friend will become obese." A sophism would result from stating in the minor premise, "My friend is obese," and reaching the conclusion, "My friend overeats."
Induction refers to reaching a conclusion after many repeated observations. Suppose one hundred obese people are examined, and it is found that the vast majority eat more than nonobese controls. It may be induced that overeating is a common cause of obesity in the area where the observations were made. The major syllogism is, "Overeating has been found to be associated with most cases of obesity; therefore, an obese person most probably overeats."
The premise of a syllogism is an a priory that was obtained a posteriory by induction. The attribute here is: of logical thinking.
