Whois & Analysis for differencebetween.info

Philosophical analysis (from) is a general term for techniques typically used by philosophers in the analytic tradition that involve "breaking down" (i.e. analyzing) philosophical issues.

Arguably the most prominent of these techniques is the analysis of concepts (known as conceptual analysis).

This article will examine the major philosophical techniques associated with the notion of analysis, as well as examine the controversies surrounding it.

An object is a technical term in modern philosophy often used in contrast to the term subject.

A subject is an observer and an object is a thing observed.

For modern philosophers like Descartes, consciousness is a state of cognition that includes the subject—which can never be doubted as only it can be the one who doubts–—and some object(s) that may be considered as not having real or full existence or value independent of the subject who observes it.

Metaphysical frameworks also differ in whether they consider objects exist independently of their properties and, if so, in what way.

Difference is a key concept of philosophy, denoting the process or set of properties by which one entity is distinguished from another within a relational field or a given conceptual system.

In the Western philosophical system, difference is traditionally viewed as being opposed to identity, following the Principles of Leibniz, and in particular, his Law of the identity of indiscernibles.

In structuralist and poststructuralist accounts, however, difference is understood to be constitutive of both meaning and identity.

In other words, because identity (particularly, personal identity) is viewed in non-essentialist terms as a construct, and because constructs only produce meaning through the interplay of differences (see below), it is the case that for both structuralism and poststructuralism, identity cannot be said to exist without difference.

A knowledge base (KB) is a technology used to store complex structured and unstructured information used by a computer system.

The initial use of the term was in connection with expert systems which were the first knowledge-based systems.

In the study of language, description or descriptive linguistics is the work of objectively analyzing and describing how language is actually used (or how it was used in the past) by a group of people in a speech community.
