| ARTICLES RELATED TO Defined | | | |  Defined: Encyclopedia II - Mansion - Defining a mansionIn Europe mansions are often given various titles, hinting at their origins - castle, palace, manor, towers, and grange to name but a few. Some such as Sir John Vanbrugh's Castle Howard and Edwin Lutyens's Castle Drogo were built centuries after the last real castle was considered necessary. The term 'palace' in England is reserved to a mansion which is the London residence of a member of the Royal Family or an episcopal seat in a cathedral city. One exception is the great country house Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. In The Netherlands a pa ...

Salevouris define "historiography" as "the study of the way history has been and is written--the history of historical writing... When you study 'historiography' you do not study the events of the past directly, but the changing interpretations of those events in the works of individual historians."

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Epistemology - Defining knowledge
Epistemology - Justified true belief.
In Plato's dialogue the Theaetetus, Socrates considers a number of definitions of knowledge. One of the prominent candidates is justified true belief. We know that, for something to count as knowledge, it must be true, and be believed to be true (see section on defining belief in Epistemology, below). Socrates argues that this is insufficient; in addition one must have a ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Nautiloid - Defining Characteristics There are three key features which are common to the shells of the nautiloids. These are the internal chambers, the siphuncle and the sutures of the shell, features that are also found in the shells of all ammonoids.
The thin walls between the internal chambers (camerae) of the shell are called the septa. As the nautiloid grew, it would detach its body from the walls of the shell, move forward, and secrete a new septum behind it. Each septum added created a new camera in the shell. The body of the animal itself occupi ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Consequentialism - Defining consequentialism Following Broome (Weighing Goods: Equality, Uncertainty and Time, Blackwell,1991), it is common to hold that a moral theory counts as Consequentialism if and only if it fulfills two conditions:
(1) Teleology (2) Agent-neutrality
Consequentialism is teleological due to its goal-oriented nature. It focuses on the outcomes of actions, placing emphasis on the ends over that of the means. In other words it is concerned with final causes.
Consequentialism is agent-neutral as it holds that value is a 1-place predicate of the fo ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Exponentiation - Defining exponentiation One approach to understanding the exponentiation operation is by defining it in a series of steps that just involve basic algebra. For an alternate approach see exponential function.
Exponentiation - Positive integer exponents.
The simplest case involves a positive integer exponent. The exponent then says how many time the base is to be multiplied. For example, 35 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243. Here, 3 is the base, 5 is the exponent, and 243 is 3 raised to the 5th power or < ...
