Philosophy - October 2007

.
.

Whether we adhere to the Neo-platonistic view of Numbers and Mathematical Objects as “REAL”, or prefer the Formalistic contention that they merely represent formally constructed structures and relationships, it appears that their underlying QUANTIZED nature is ultimately inherent. ... Does this intrinsically quantized nature mean that not only our Physics but, sadly enough, even our Mathematics [as it stands today] is doomed (i.e. breaks down) when it comes to penetrating "beyond" the Planck Scale?
.
.

Obviously, I am asking this question from a "Philosophy of Mathematics" point of view, however, should you have any physical and/or applied mathematics insights to offer, I would be eternally grateful! :-)

.
Thank you for your comments.

The book “Medicine before Science” explains how physicians in the Middle Ages were concerned with their being able to predict the outcomes of cases. It was all about how they built their reputations and convinced their wealthy clients to trust them (the "Business of Medicine"). So then, were they really there for the good of the clients? Or did they just want to make money?

... It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

please analyze the paralle --that's... what clause is this that lead to. How should I understand these that clauses.

Thanks

These are a few quesitons I'd like you to answer about the book.Im 13 and I just read it, it was confusing but eventually I got it.
1)What did you think of it?
2)Was the ending dissapointing to you?
3)Why was Arthur so.. normal.. after the destruction of his planet?
4)Was the destruction of his house and then the destruction of his planet that immediatly followed some kind of metaphore?

Thanks for you help :]

Tell me if the deffinition of success and if it's right and why. You can pick any well known dictionary? I'm kind of following a random line of reasoning for something, thanks. 10 points to the first well thought out answer, even if i don't like it.

Without a personal Creator-God, how are you anything other than the coincidental, purposeless miscarriabe of nature, spinning round and round on a lonely planet in the blackness of space for just a little while while before you & all memory of you finally blinks out forever in the endless darkness? What do you think

Seems to me, if the 80-20 rule applies, probably also a 90-10 rule applies.

Ok, so I'm pretty new to Philosophy. I took my 1st course in philosophy a semester year ago and is totally blown away by it. I'm planning to major in it but then I was brought up in an environment where science and basic skills like English and Math rules. I'm not sure if I'll be any good at abstract subject like Philosophy.

Anyway, sort of went off topic. So what qualities are needed to become a "good/successful" philosopher? What does it take? (I put good/successful in quote because those terms are not well-defined and probably means differently to everyone.)

Thanks for answering! Have a great day!
