Critical Rationalism Critical rationalism is the best argument that is advanced by rationalists in the raging debate between rationalism and empiricism. Rationalists use reason as the source of their knowledge (Markie, 2017). The critical rationalism argument was first advanced by Karl Popper in the mid-20th century. The theory, as developed by Popper, was to help counter the evident shortcomings in social science experiments. The former method of carrying out research using questions, hypothesis, and experimentation using empirical or observation means resulted in conclusions that were more theorized than factual. Popper proposed the use of criticism to aid correct research. He challenged the empiricism theory in that it only involved mere observations in making conclusions (Rowbottom, 2011). According to Popper, there was a need for reasoning and logic in the observation. Such an approach would result in more factual conclusions. His argument gave rise to critical rationality theory in which all responses ought to be investigated for their failure. Critical rationalism argument involves the formulation of a theory as a result of an empirical study. The theory is then tested…

Muslims and Divorce Marriage is an essential institution in the Islamic faith, but the Quran provides specific guidelines for divorce incase the union fails. The Quranic laws propose that marriage should be based on love and mutual respect between man and wife. In the pre-Islamic times, families in the Arab world exercised free will to repudiate and claim back their wives at will several times. The Islamic faith has, however initiated reforms to this institution by limiting the number of times a man can reclaim his wife after disagreements. Islam introduced changes to the family institution where a woman could initiate a divorce as a departure from the traditional patriarchal system. Parties to divorce must provide compelling reasons for the action, including proven infidelity. Before undertaking divorce, Muslims have several channels for conflict resolution. The process of divorce also allows for reconciliation, according to Islamic conventions. Regardless of reconciliation opportunities, cases of divorce continue to rise in modern times. Divorce in the Islamic faith is the last resort as Muslims consider marriage central to fulfilling religious obligations. The increasing cases…

Meta-ethical views. Meta-ethical is the study about what morals claim about. This paper will discuss ethical objectivism, moral skepticism, ethical relativism, and ethical subjectivism found in the book He was good at elucidating on the ethical issues and helpfully diagraphs major ethical arguments and against moral scepticism which helps understands when things are wrong. For a case to be false, the premises must either be incorrect, or the logic is invalid. He tries to rescue moral objectivism, which is the idea that individual moral judgments are indeed incorrect or correct, everywhere and always and are independent of who utters them and from which culture. Landau does this in a particular way and tries to demolish the case with the following; any form of moral objectivism can be logically disproven who some have been logically proven. Moral objectivism, in his case, is about reassuring. It allows ordinary moral discourse to have a point which I wish it were true, and on reading this book about defense from a believer, I believe the above statement is true.. The idea of free will…
EXISTENTIALISM in book The Ethics of Ambiguity Introduction In his book The Ethics of Ambiguity, Beauvoir outlines the ethics that were adopted by the existentialists, for example, Jean-Pal Sartre. The central existentialist premise that Beauvoir’s work first covers is that essence is preceded by existence. The basic implication of this notion is that as human beings, we establish our nature of essence through our actions as well as choices. During her discussion regarding human essence, Beauvoir refers to the general notion and the assertion of Heidegger in relation to time and being. In this regard, she notes that the creation of ourselves presently is based on our actions in the past besides the choices made during the projection of the future. The Sartre’s distinction in nothingness and being is the foundation of the approach that Beauvoir adopts to expound on the issues of ethics and choices. Nonetheless, she uses her own twist that includes in-itself and for-itself. Within the category of in-itself, Beauvoir focuses on material things, for example, tables, chairs, and rocks. These things are known for their…
