BITCH

I BURIED HER TODAY
With my own hands
I dug a hole deep enough
To conceal her cold corpse
With my own hands
I lay her to her grave
Watched the soil
Welcome her to eternal peace
Then I stomped upon her grave
With my own feet
To level it with the ground
And leave no trace ...

Some Epistemological Distinctions

Epistemology is a branch of knowledge which deals with the study of scope, limits, and validity of knowledge. This terminology originated from two Greek words episteme which means to know and logos which means study. Practically speaking, almost all of  epistemological claims in whatever line of inquiry – whether be it social or behavioral sciences or pure or applied mathematics, three fundamental questions must be satisfied: the first is What can I know? The second question is How can I know? And the third question is Why do I have to know?

 
The first question deals with the scope and possible limitation of what man can know as far as knowledge of the external world is concerned; the second question deals with the methodology or manner of acquiring knowledge ...

The Categorical Proposition in Logic

IN LOGIC, the statement that relates two classes or “categories” is called a categorical proposition. The classes in question are denoted respectively by the subject term and the predicate term. In effect, this type of proposition gives a direct assertion of agreement or disagreement between the two terms. The proposition asserts that either all or part of the class denoted by the subject term is included in or excluded from the classes denoted by the predicate term. Here are some examples of categorical statement.
 
1. All dogs are mammals.
2. No acids are bases.                                                                                 
3. Some philosophers are mathematicians.
4. Some Americans are not cheaters.
                                               
         The first example asserts that the whole class of dogs are included in the class of mammals; the second declares that the entire class of acids are excluded from the class of bases; the third states that a part of philosophers are included in the class of mathematicians; and the last one claims that a part of the class of Americans are excluded from the class of cheaters ...

On Judgment, Proposition, and Sentence: A Lecture in Logic

On Judgment, Proposition, and Sentence: A Lecture in Logic
 

IN LOGIC, term represents idea or concept. Ideas are the raw materials of knowledge but they cannot be said to be true or false in themselves. Only after we compare or contrast two or more ideas, or express relations, or an agreement or disagreement between them that we can speak of truth or falsity. The mental operation involved here is called judgment.
          Judgment is an act in which the mind pronounces the agreement or disagreement of ideas among themselves. It is an act in which the intellect affirms or denies one idea of another. For instance, our intellect may relate the ideas this dog and Dalmatian and affirm, This dog is a Dalmatian. This is an example of a judgment expressed in a proposition. The proposition therefore is the oral or written expression of the judgment. Often used interchangeably with statement, it as a verbal expression proclaiming a truth or falsity ...

On Definition: A Lecture in Logic

DEFINITION IS A STATEMENT that gives the meaning of a term or explains what a term means. As it clarifies the limits by which a word or term should be used and understood, definition helps eliminate confusion and ambiguity in the use of terms, thereby minimizing, if not totally eradicating, misunderstanding and misconception in communication.
          Definition comprises two elements: the definiendum or the term to be defined; and the definiens or the defining term. In the definition, “Mathematics is the study of the relationships among numbers, shapes, and quantities,” Mathematics is the definiendum and the study of the relationships among numbers, shapes, and quantities is the definiens ...
