Nevertheless, at least from the 1870s the pressure towards the doctrinalisation of Marx's interpretation of history became increasingly strong, for several reasons. (1) Marx & Engels did aim to increase their own political influence in the labor movement and socialist movement, and for this they needed a popular ideology or doctrine which people could easily understand and act upon. Both men were quite capable of sple ...

Quartz was mistaken as the material that made up the Stargate in the feature film, Stargate and the pilot of the Stargate SG-1 series, "Children of the Gods". It appears to fit the definition of Naquadah as the tough mineral of the Stargate. The term 'Naquadah' first appeared in the episode "Singularity", referring to the material of the object inside Cassandra. Naquadah was later identified as the mineral that makes up all Goa'uld technology, ...

In the song's music video, Madonna mimicked Marilyn Monroe's performance of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and the song evokes, as well as parodies, the materialistic and consumerist attitudes of the 1980s. During the shooting of the video Madonna had a short affair with actor Keith Carradine, who made a role on it. The video was shot in Los Angeles, produced by ...

Cartesian materialism - A philosophy without adherents?. Perhaps the primary objection to Dennett's use of the term Cartesian materialism is that it is a philosophy without adherents. In this view, Cartesian materialism is essential a "Straw Man" — an argument explicitly constructed just so it can to be refuted. Cartesian materialism is unique in that almost no one admits to believing in it. Indeed, it is a point of intense debate as to h ...

Naqahdah [ˈnækwɪdʌ] is a fictional, superheavy metal used in Stargate SG-1. It is also in the original Stargate movie, though it was not named, only described as a quartzite-like material; it was not stated why it was quartzite-like, but fans speculate that it turns physical impacts against it into electricity, the so called piezoelectric effect. It has a dull grey sheen in its natural form, and glows green in a liquid form. It has a radioactive half-life of 15 ...

In Consciousness Explained (1991), Dennett proposes a multiple drafts model of consciousness as an alternative to the centralized version, focusing on what he sees as its critical weakness through his metaphor of the "Cartesian theater". Rockwell rejects Cartesian materialism, proposing that the mind should be identified not only with the brain but the rest of the body as it acts in its environment. Radical behaviourists also tend to adopt this viewpoint, as do proponents of the Gibsonian strand of ecological psychology. Many eliminativists and behaviorists, as well ...

Naqahdriah (also spelled "Naquahdriah") is a highly unstable variant of Naqahdah with greater explosive properties. It can also be used for the powering of hyperspace engines with far smaller quantities than with Naqahdah, and the greater amount of energy produced allows for intergalactic travel with reasonable transit times. Naqahdriah is formed from Naqahdah in an artificial chain reaction. The only known planet containing Naqahdria is Langara, where large deposits were created millennia ago by the Goa'uld Thanos, with other ...

Strength of materials - Stress terms. Stress is the internal distribution of forces within a body that balances and reacts to the loads applied to it. It is a complicated tensor quantity that can be broken down into simpler elements for engineering purposes; Compressive stress (or compression) is the stress state when the material tends to compact (volume decrease). A simple case of compression is the uniaxial compression induced by the action of opposite, pushing forces. Most materials ...

The Maxwell model can be represented by a purely viscous damper and a purely elastic spring connected consecutively, as shown in the diagram. If we connect these two elements in parallel, we get a model of Kelvin material. In a Maxwell material, stress σ, strain ε and their rates of change with respect to time t are governed by equations of the form: or, more elegantly: where E is a modulus of elasticity and c a "viscosity". The equation can be appli ...

Dialectics is the science of the most general laws of development of nature, society, and thought. Its principal features are as follows: 1) The universe is not an accidental mix of things isolated from each other, but an integral whole, wherein things are mutually interdependent. 2) Nature is in a state of constant motion: "All nature, from the smallest thing to the biggest, from a grain of sand to the sun, from the protista to man, is in a constant state of coming into being and going out of being, in a constant flux, in a ceaseless state of movement and change." - ...

The main serious objection advanced by the critics of Marxism and of historical materialism is that as soon as Marxists really begin to study the historical facts, there is either no longer anything distinctively "Marxist" about what they do, or else the facts are twisted to fit with a preconceived dogma. In the worst case, this arguably leads to the totalitarian temptation to try and force the course of history in a particular direction, based on a false belief that one "knows" the way history is moving. The idea here i ...

Marx himself took care to indicate that he was only proposing a guideline to historical research (Leitfaden or Auffassung), and was not providing any substantive "theory of history" or "grand philosophy of history", let alone a "master-key to history". Numerous times, he and Engels expressed irritation with dilletante academics who sought to knock up their skimpy historical knowledge as quickly as possible into some grand theoretical system that would explain "everything" about history. To their great annoyance, the materialist outlook ...

Metal or metalling has had two distinct usages in road paving. Metalling originally referred to the process of creating a carefully-engineered gravel roadway. The route of the roadway first would be dug down several feet. Depending on local conditions, French drains may or may not have been added. Next, large stone was placed and compacted, followed by successive layers of smaller stone, until the road surface was a smal ...

A common exercise for an introductory logic text to include is symbolizations. These exercises give a student a sentence or paragraph of text in ordinary language which the student has to translate into the symbolic language. This is done by recognizing the ordinary language equivalents of the logical terms, which usually include the material conditional, disjunction, conjunction, negation, and (frequently) biconditional. More advanced logic books and later chapters of introductory volumes often add identity, Ex ...
