Concepts are abstract in that they omit the differences of the things in their extension, treating them as if they were identical. They are universal in that they apply equally to every thing in their extension. Concepts are also the basic elements of propositions, much the same way a wor ...

It also attempts to bridge the traditional gap between religions and religious belief and psychological science.

This focus is called 'awareness ...

Concept - Kant's Definition: Encyclopedia - Analytic proposition

In philosophy, an analytic statement, or analytic proposition, is one such that its truth can be determined (solely) through analysis of its meaning. Loosely defined, an analytic proposition is a proposition the negation of which is self-contradictory, or a proposition that is true in every conceivable world, or a proposition that is true by definition. For example, All white cats are white is not only true, but also necessarily true — since a negation of it — "Not all white cats are white" is self-contradictory. The stat ...

Honesty, the quality of being honest, is a value which can be defined in multiple ways. In the context of human communication, people are generally said to be honest when they tell the truth to the best of their knowledge and do not hide what they know or think.

Some people think that this definition is too simplistic, or that it is specific to western culture. For example, some peopl ...

The Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius X, issued the Anti-Modernist oath on September 1, 1910, and intended that "all clergy, pastors, confessors, preachers, religious superiors, and professors in philosophical-theological seminaries" should subscribe to it. The oath continued in use until the mid 1960s. Pius X instituted the oath to stop modernist ideas, and to explicitly clarify Catholic teaching to those who taught it. This requirement arose because Modernism, though it did not heretically tend towards schism, nevertheless caus ...

In common usage, the dimensions (from Latin "measured out") of an object are the parameters or measurements required to define its shape and size, that is, usually, its height, width, and length. In mathematics, the dimensions of a space are the parameters required to describe a particular object in this space. The dimension of a space is the number of these parameters. For example, locating a city on the Earth requires two parameters: longitude and latitude; the corresponding space has therefore two dimensions an ...
