• PHILOSOPHY of Biology and Logic...!

    This article is about philosophy of logic, not philosophical logic.
    Philosophy of logic is the branch of philosophy that is concerned with the scope and nature of logic.

    -LOGIC
    Logic is the study of the principles of valid demonstration and inference. Logic is a branch of philosophy, a part of the classical trivium.

    -PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
    The philosophy of science is concerned with the assumptions, foundations, and implications of science. The field is defined by an interest in one of a set of "traditional" problems or an interest in central or foundational concerns in science. In addition to these central problems for science as a whole, many philosophers of science consider these problems as they apply to particular sciences (e.g. philosophy of biology or philosophy of physics).

    -PHILOSOPHY OF BIOLOGY
    The philosophy of biology is a subfield of philosophy of science, which deals with epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical issues in the biological and biomedical sciences. Although philosophers of science and philosophers generally have long been interested in biology (e.g., Aristotle, Descartes, and even Kant), philosophy of biology only emerged as an independent field of philosophy in the 1960s and 1970s. Philosophers of science then began paying increasing attention to developments in biology, from the rise of Neodarwinism in the 1930s and 1940s to the discovery of the structure of Deoxyribonucleic acid in 1953 to more recent advances in genetic engineering. Other key ideas such as the reduction of all life processes to biochemical reactions as well as the incorporation of psychology into a broader neuroscience are also addressed.

    A few of the questions philosophers of biology have attempted to answer, for example, include:

    * "What is a biological species?"
    * "How is rationality possible, given our biological origins?"
    * "How do organisms coordinate their common behavior?"
    * "Are there genome editing agents?"
    * "How might our biological understandings of race, sexuality, and gender reflect social values?"
    * "What is natural selection, and how does it operate in nature?"
    * "How do medical doctors explain disease?"
    * "From where do language and logic stem?";
    * "How is ecology related to medicine?"
    * "What is the material basis of consciousness?"
    * "What is life?"
    * "What makes humans uniquely human?";
    * "What is the basis of moral thinking?";
    * "What are the factors we use for aesthetic judgments?";
    * "Is evolution compatible with Christianity or other religious systems?"

    -PARTICULARLY I FIND NO POSSIBILITY OF Christianity and Religions BEING COMPATIBLE WITH Evolution-Devolution...!
    It would mean a bigger "mix-up" of logic than they all already have and are...!

    -My definitions of "pure" logic, and other logic definitions and/or terminology are published in my book: BOOK OF PURE LOGIC, at https://www.jointquest.com ; https://www.humanbrainsoftware.com ; http:www.authorhouse.com/bookstore [search under george thomson - book of pure logic].

  • Socrates...!

    If you do not have a "sculpture" or a painted portrait on a rock, or in a cave somewhere, etc...! Your picture could be lost forever. Thanks to sculpture, we believe the above to be one of Socrates...! A fantastic philosopher, who was judged for what he believed and taught...!
