Abstract:

This thesis offers a reassessment of the philosophical problem of scepticism about knowledge of the external world. It distinguishes between different forms of this sceptical problem and considers two kinds of response: a strategy developed by Tim Williamson, and a disjunctivist approach. Chapters one and two offer an introduction to the problem of scepticism: the sceptical arguments of Descartes and Hume are compared, and Williamson’s approach to scepticism is introduced. Chapter three considers three different ways of responding to Humean scepticism. This chapter offers an interpretation of

Abstract:

Expert systems are being developed despite the widely acknowledged problem of acquiring knowledge from experts. This study attempts to understand how knowledge acquisition is conducted in practice by investigating three expert system development projects. The variables examined include the expert, knowledge engineer, problem domain, organizational setting, the knowledge acquisition process, the expert system construction process, and the expert system itself. A case research methodology is adopted and data is collected through observation and taped protocol of knowledge acquisition sessions, p

Abstract:

This dissertation is a philosophical discussion of arithmetical knowledge. I investigate the possibility of a new kind of epistemology for arithmetic, one which will respect three intuitions. (a) that arithmetic is a priori, (b) that arithmetical realism is correct, i.e. that arithmetical truth is independent of us, and (c) that scientific or naturalistic concerns enforce empiricism, the view that all knowledge of the independent world is obtained through the senses. I propose that we could develop an epistemology respecting these three intuitions if we were prepared to accept three claims: (1

Milton, Grace. "Understanding Pentecostal conversion : an empirical study." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2014. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/5104/.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that a Pentecostal theology of conversion can be best understood in terms of the biblical concept of shalom. The thesis contributes towards a holistic practical-theological model, which presents conversion in terms of the work of, and response to, God’s shalom in three key dimensions: regeneration, identity and destiny. This study responds to two main motivators: (1) an identified lack of an existing Pentecostal theology of conversion. This is a significant gap in the movement’s theology, particularly in the UK where Pentecostalism continues to buck the trend of church decli

Abstract:

This study examines Christian experientialist epistemology as articulated of late by Alvin Plantinga especially and also William Alston. It situates their approach to the epistemic status of Christian belief claims within the overall outlook they have respectively developed on what features generally legitimate beliefs as being rationally responsible or even qualify some true beliefs as constituting knowledge. First to be taken up is Plantinga's journey from considering the deontological justification for basic belief in God to making his own externalist proposal for warranted belief at large.

Abstract:

Lawrence Bonjour supported coherentism in the early period, but turns to foundationalism in the later period. In this paper I shall focus on two sides in relation to his epistemology. To understand his early and later positions, first, I shall explain his coherentism and foundationalism. Second, I shall consider what objections have been raised to each position. Thus we can evaluate why Bonjour abandoned his coherentism and why his foundationalism succeeds as a plausible theory for empirical justification.

Abstract:

Although replication is considered an indispensable part of the scientific method in software engineering, few replication studies are published each year. The rate of replication, however, is not surprising given that replication theory in software engineering is immature. Not only are replication taxonomies varied and difficult to reconcile, but opinions on the role of replication contradict. In general, we have no clear sense of how to build knowledge via replication, particularly given the practical realities of our research field. Consequently, most replications in software engineering yi

Abstract:

This project considers the possibility of the truth of religion in late modernity by examining the difficulties in understanding the nature of both religious and bodily knowledge because of the continued primacy of intellectual knowledge in Western thought. It looks at the ways in which the body and its knowledge have been represented in the West in Christian thought and practice and in theory, and the models of the body and self which these ideas have produced. It concludes that models which acknowledge the malleability within limits of the human body and the lack of unity of the self more us

Projects are unique by definition. Due to this novelty software development projects, in common with all other projects, require knowledge for effective implementation. Most knowledge management frameworks reported in the literature address the organisational need to manage knowledge. The existing frameworks typically discuss the dichotomy between tacit and explicit knowledge, and lay an emphasis on managing the latter. However, software development projects rely upon the experience, creativity and intuition of individual team members to address unstructured situations typified by inherent unc

Knowledge management can play a central strategic role in organisational life, potentially initiating from strategy planning to performance achievement. The continuous adjustment of organisational strategy and performance can be powerful in knowledge intensive organisations such as think tanks. Think tanks are policy research organisations, usually of small to medium size, and non-profit in nature. The Pakistani think tank ‘industry’ is at an important tipping point in terms of establishing knowledge ‘impact’ for the state and the wider society. Think tank organisations are gaining dual attent

Abstract:

Online knowledge sharing is the backbone of organisational competitiveness. It helps organisations survive fierce competition since it often facilitates the transfer of individual knowledge to organisational capital and decreases redundant learning time. Yet, a key issue for organisations is engaging employee participation in online knowledge sharing, as the majority of employees have a tendency to lurk preferring to read the knowledge that is shared without contributing themselves. In the online knowledge sharing literature, rather than examining the driving forces of lurkers, previous studie

This project involved a close literary analysis of the three texts of Esther. The results of the literary analysis indicated that the texts displayed different textual tendencies and also represented God, the four main characters, and some minor characters, differently. The texts were then presented to real readers for an empirical study of their perceptions of the characters. The empirical data indicate some support for the difference in perception expected from the literary analysis.

With the removal of the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) from the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2012, several states legalized wolf hunting as part of wildlife management programs and the protection of livestock.

Many Anishinaabeg, or Ojibwe, in the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan object to the state-sanctioned wolf hunting because of their long-standing religious and ecological relationship to wolves as relatives.

Coopetition, where companies cooperate with their competitors, is emerging as a prevalent phenomenon among high-tech companies since the end of 20th century.

However, despite some benefits offered by coopetition, about half of coopetition failures.
