The Philosophical Debate Between Realism And Nominalism: How They Relate To Species, Genes, And Niches
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Ever since the tenets of philosophy came into existence, there has been an ongoing debate between the concepts of realism and nominalism. When one considers these two divergent viewpoints, one is quick to discern their repelling structure, inasmuch as no individual can allege to support both doctrines; clearly, one is either a realist or a nominalist – neither the two shall meet. The writer discusses the properties of nominalism and realism, as well as employs example work from Roger Sperry, George Herbert Mead, and George Berkeley in order to demonstrate the relationship of realism and nominalism to species, genes and niches. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

The Physics of the Golf Swing
[ send me this paper ]
Everything in the universe demonstrates some form of motion, and motion can be evaluated through the application of a number of physical properties and laws.
