Carnival Cruise Lines: Exploiting a Sea Global Opportunity

CHAPTER II
JUDGMENT and PROPOSITION
Form is a revelation of essence.
As the drop becomes the ocean, so the soul is deified, losing her name and work, but not her essence.
You must break the outside to let out the inside; to get at
Kernel means breaking the shell. Even so to find nature herself all her likeness have to be shattered.

Chapter Outline 1. Judgment Defined a) Elements of Judgment * two known ideas * comparison of these two ideas * mental pronouncement of * identity/non-identity between two ideas 2. Proposition Defined a) Parts of Proposition * subject (S) * predicate (P) * copula (c) 3. Predicables * species * genus * differentia * property * accident
Suggested Learning Activities 1. Spotting the difference between a mere sentence and a judgment/proposition. 2. Imaginary ‘anatomy’ of the body. 3. Mind game: What’s more essential: a) character or fame? b) beauty or brain? c) money or person? 4. ‘Measuring depth of knowledge’ game. |
The Proposition as Expression of Judgment
Judgment is the second mental process or operation that essentially figures in the act of reasoning or thinking. A judgment is an act of the mind pronouncing an agreement or disagreement between two ideas. Three things are required in the making of judgment, namely: 1. two known ideas, their 2. comparison, and 3. the act of the intellect pronouncing their identity or non-identity. Here is how a judgment exemplified. “A computer is a machine.” This sentence is one written example of a judgment. The ‘computer’ is the subject term while ‘machine’ is the predicate term. These two terms then represent the two ideas that the mind is comparing. The ‘is’ in the same sentence represents the act of pronouncement executed by the mind on the two ideas ‘computer’ and ‘machine’.
