L. a. filosofía es los angeles ciencia y el arte
de concebir las cosas de nuevas maneras. En c o n s e c u e n c i a ,
un l i b r o i n t r o d u c t o r i o sobre filosofía debería desafiar y estimular a sus
lectores para pensar y extraer cosas de sí mismos.
Al m i s m o t i e m p o , deseo promover el s e n t i m i e n t o de que p o d e -
mos realizar progresos en l. a. filosofía, y c o m b a t i r el c i n i s m o que
afirma q u e sólo p o d e m o s permanecer en nuestras posiciones o,
aún peor, que sólo p o d e m o s girar y girar en círculo.
He t r a t a d o de lograr estos dos objetivos a r g u m e n t a n d o a favor
de conclusiones definidas acerca de algunos de los p r o b l e m a s y
áreas centrales de los angeles filosofía, stories c o m o l. a. naturaleza de Dios, la
percepción, l. a. relación entre l. a. mente y el cuerpo, y l. a. ética. En
otras palabras, he t r a t a d o de c o m p r o m e t e r m e a mí m i s m o c o n el
pensamiento filosófico a fin de estimular a otros para hacer lo mis-

natural language into formal language, as an important step within the clarification
of expression and the review of arguments. the diversity of usual language
constructions surveyed is broader and richer than in any competing
introductory common sense textual content that i'm conscious of. As such, the publication offers a solid
and beautiful advent to good judgment not just for philosophy scholars, yet for

"I can completely suggest Ernest Lepore's which means and Argument, particularly
for these looking to train or how one can paraphrase into formal
symbolism, a far ignored element of good judgment. It encompasses a wealth of examples
and is trained all through via a deep theoretical wisdom of contemporary
linguistics and philosophy of language. "

book is definitely fitted to use in teaching philosophy scholars within the importance
of common sense even if those scholars don't intend to move additional within the learn of
formal good judgment as a self-discipline. "

logic and the complexity of traditional language. The booklet makes a speciality of the use of
logic to reveal and treatment many problems with knowing a sentence's
exact that means. Lepore's straight forward kind makes the ebook relaxing for
beginning common sense scholars, and his assurance of the main points makes it worthwhile for
advanced scholars and execs. there isn't any good judgment textbook that comes
even remotely on the subject of achieving what that means and Argument does. "

Example text
La quinta premisa afirma que la única causa posible del primer evento es Dios. Escrita de ese m o d o , la premisa n o asume la exis- tencia de Dios. Para refutar la quinta premisa, t e n e m o s que mostrar que aparte de Dios, hay otras posibles causas del primer evento. Si hay otras posibles causas del primer e v e n t o , entonces la premisa es falsa. En e f e c t o , hay o t r a s p o s i b l e s causas del p r i m e r e v e n t o , p o r e j e m p l o : el universo m i s m o ; B l o d ; Gog; G o p .
Sin embargo, este d e b a t e es irrelevante para el a r g u m e n t o q u e he o f r e c i d o . Es así p o r q u e el a r g u m e n t o no concierne a las causas del s u f r i m i e n t o . N o es pertinente, por ejemplo, si el SIN es causado por la estupidez h u m a n a , la malicia, los desastres naturales o el d e m o n i o . El a r g u m e n t o d e p e n d e de si hay algún s u f r i m i e n t o innecesario, y no de la causa de tal s u f r i m i e n t o . Usted e n c u e n t r a a una persona a g o n i z a n d o en la calle.
Así, quizá hay realmente un argumento sólido para probar la existencia de Dios. Miremos. EL PRIMEIS M O V I M I E N T O Quizá la mejor evidencia de la existencia de Dios está siempre ante nuestros ojos. ¡Usted la está viendo en este m o m e n t o ! El universo m i s m o . Sin duda alguna, el universo existe. Sea lo que sea, algo existe, y la t o t a l i d a d de lo que existe es el universo. Por más que lo pensemos, lo más n o t o r i o es que alguna cosa existe. ¿Cómo puede ser que algo exista?
