Hegel developed the Socratic dialogue into a philosophy of the Absolute. Hegel was a German philosopher who believed in the concept of dialectics, which is the idea that truth is found through the clash of opposing ideas. He expanded on Socrates' method of questioning and dialogue to develop a comprehensive philosophical system that sought to understand the nature of reality and knowledge. Hegel's philosophy emphasized the importance of historical development and the interconnectedness of all aspects of life, leading to his concept of the Absolute, which represents the ultimate truth or reality.Rate this question:

In recorded History Thales believed that the Unity of things comes from
- A.
Water
- B.
Air
- C.
Apeiron
- D.
Fire
Correct Answer
A. WaterExplanation
Thales believed that the unity of things comes from water. This belief is based on the observation that water is essential for the existence of life and is found in all living organisms. Additionally, Thales may have observed that water can transform into different states (solid, liquid, gas) and can shape the Earth through erosion and weathering. This led him to conclude that water is the fundamental substance from which all things originate and to which they return.Rate this question:

Which of the following relates a general (universal) truth to a specific (particular) truth
- A.
Inductive Arguments
- B.
Deductive Arguments
- C.
Inductive Relation
- D.
Deductive Relation
Correct Answer
B. Deductive ArgumentsExplanation
Deductive arguments relate a general (universal) truth to a specific (particular) truth by using logical reasoning to derive a specific conclusion from a set of general premises or principles. In deductive reasoning, if the premises are true and the argument is valid, then the conclusion must also be true. This type of argument moves from the general to the specific, making it suitable for establishing relationships between general truths and specific instances.Rate this question:

D. Irrelevant ConclusionExplanation
Ignoratio Elenchi, also known as irrelevant conclusion, refers to a fallacy where an argument fails to address the issue at hand and instead presents a conclusion that is unrelated or irrelevant to the original question or topic. This fallacy occurs when someone diverts the discussion or argument towards a different point or conclusion that may seem related, but is ultimately not relevant to the original question or topic being discussed. In this case, the correct answer is "Irrelevant Conclusion," as it accurately describes the concept of Ignoratio Elenchi.Rate this question:

The Law of Contradiction stated that
- A.
Two Statements can both be true
- B.
No statement can both be true and false
- C.
All statement made are false
- D.
No answer
Correct Answer
B. No statement can both be true and falseExplanation
The Law of Contradiction states that no statement can both be true and false. This means that a statement cannot simultaneously have contradictory qualities. In logic and reasoning, this principle is fundamental as it helps establish the basis for determining the truth value of statements. If a statement is found to be both true and false, it would violate the Law of Contradiction and lead to logical inconsistencies. Therefore, the correct answer is that no statement can both be true and false.Rate this question:

However, wealth is not mentioned as one of the factors that affect human experience and therefore does not contribute to the broadness of the definition.Rate this question:

Existentialism postulated that
- A.
Man Existed and then Dies
- B.
God created man to worship him
- C.
Existence precedes Essence
- D.
Essence comes before Existence
Correct Answer
C. Existence precedes EssenceExplanation
Existentialism is a philosophical belief that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice. It argues that human beings exist first and then define their essence or purpose through their actions and choices. This means that individuals are not predetermined or created with a fixed nature or purpose by a higher power, such as God. Instead, they have the freedom to create their own meaning and purpose in life through their existence and choices. Therefore, the statement "Existence precedes Essence" aligns with the core principles of existentialism.Rate this question:

Anaximander is the correct answer because he was the first person recorded in history to raise the belief of people beyond the physical. He was a Greek philosopher who lived in the 6th century BC and is known for his cosmological theories.

- A.
Correspondence
- B.
Pragmatic
- C.
Coherence
- D.
Disclosure
Correct Answer
C. CoherenceExplanation
Coherence is the correct answer because it refers to the logical consistency and clarity of the information presented. In this context, if the truth is determined based on the preposition made, it implies that the information provided should be coherent and internally consistent. Coherence ensures that the different parts of the information fit together logically and make sense as a whole.

B. CorrespondenceExplanation
Correspondence is the correct answer because it refers to the idea that truth is determined by how well a statement aligns or corresponds with reality. If the truth is found outside the proposition, it means that the statement's truth value is determined by its correspondence to the external world. This aligns with the concept of correspondence theory of truth, which states that truth is a matter of accurately representing facts or reality.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. LogicExplanation
The rule of correct thinking refers to the principles and methods used to reason and make logical deductions. Philosophy is a broad field that encompasses various branches of knowledge, including logic. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of knowledge and how we acquire it, which is related to correct thinking but not specifically focused on logic.

Correct Answer
A. RelativismExplanation
Relativism is the correct answer because it postulates that there is no universal knowledge and that knowledge is not objective. Relativism argues that knowledge and truth are subjective and can vary from person to person or culture to culture. It suggests that there are no absolute truths or objective standards to judge knowledge, as it is influenced by individual perspectives, experiences, and cultural contexts. Therefore, relativism rejects the notion of universal knowledge and objective truths.Rate this question:
