Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation01:17

Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation

1.8K
In terms of human respiration, the act of expelling air, known as exhalation (or expiration), operates on the principle of pressure gradients. During expiration, the pressure within the lungs exceeds that of the surrounding atmosphere. Under normal conditions, quiet breathing involves passive exhalation and is free of muscular contractions. This is because the exhalation process is driven by the natural elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall, both of which have an inherent tendency to...

Free-falling Bodies: Example

17.8K
An object falling without any air resistance under the influence of gravitational force is said to be in free-fall. For free-falling bodies, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, irrespective of their mass. Free-fall is experienced not only by objects falling downward, but also by all objects whose motion is influenced by gravitational force alone. The dynamics of free-fall motion can be calculated using kinematic equations of motion, since free-fall acceleration is constant.

Free-falling Bodies: Introduction

9.1K
All objects, neglecting air resistance, fall with the same acceleration towards the Earth's center due to the force exerted by the Earth's gravity. This experimentally determined fact is unexpected because we are so accustomed to the effects of air resistance and friction that we expect light objects to fall slower than heavier ones. People believed that a heavier object had a greater acceleration when falling until Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) proved otherwise. We now know this is...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.2K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Weightlessness01:01

Weightlessness

5.3K
When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of the Earth. If the net external force on the object is its weight, it is said to be in free fall; that is, the only force acting on the object is gravity. Galileo was instrumental in showing that, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration g. However, when objects on the Earth fall downward, they are never truly in free fall, because there is always some upward resistance force from the air acting...

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Language
  • Metaphysics

Background:

  • Deflationary theories of truth face challenges in explaining the connection between true beliefs and successful actions.
  • Compositional principles for truth in complex sentences are also problematic for deflationism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address recent objections to deflationism concerning truth's role in action and composition.
  • To propose a novel framework, Aristotelian Deflationism, to resolve these issues.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of recent objections by Gamester and Heck.
  • Application of theories of explanation, grounding, and the logic of 'because'.
  • Development of a new view incorporating 'because' principles for truth.

Main Results:

  • Standard deflationary responses to objections are insufficient.
  • Aristotelian Deflationism offers a viable alternative to the T-schema.
  • The proposed view effectively addresses core objections and residual concerns.

Conclusions:

  • Aristotelian Deflationism provides a robust framework for understanding truth.
  • This approach reconciles deflationary insights with explanatory power.
  • Further research into 'because' principles in truth theory is warranted.
