Basic assumption: Information is only in the form of text (and picture).
Information can be classified using two aspects
First) in ten topics:
Second) in four fields
Thus, Information has 10*4=40 categories.
Example of subfields:
Each subfield has more subfields. Example:
Philosophy has had six meanings throughout history (Omit the fifth):
Definition?
1. Intentional definitions:
2. Extensional definitions: there are three sets of things under philosophy
This definition is obviously outdated. It's a list of difficult problems that philosophers have worked on, during this 2500 years.
It's really hard, but really fruitful. I have worked on doing this for four years. And that's one of the reasons I really need an atlas of knowledge.
What do we mean by philosophy today? Abstract field? Ontology? Study of Axioms? An activity?
We really use all those meanings.
How to identify which one the speaker is referring to?
It needs practice. But there are a few guidelines. - When it's on the cover of an Arabic book, it means ontology - When it's on the cover of an English book, it means study of axioms (presumptions) - When someone is talking about the word itself, he means abstract field.
So what's Philosophy for us? How should WE use the word?
For referring to "study of axioms." The strength of this definition is in its ability to convey all popular meanings and values of philosophy, without tending to define philosophy as" whatever philosophers do".
User:Saeed.Veradi/Definition of Physics
{Warning. this discussion does not cite any reference. but i'll try to add them gradually. so please don't criticize before then.}
here is the minimal Inclusive definition:
Exclusive definitions contain concepts added to the above definition. but these are not controvercy free.
1. Among scientists, the word science alone, refers to the second meaning. they need to say "Science field" to refer to a field rather than the enterprise. except when they use the name of a field. like: "Physics is a science".
Criticizm: The increase in literacy rate in the Occident this term is being more and more accepted among the new generation. but because scientists and students remain a fraction of global population, and because the whole population still uses the archaic term, it's not yet majorly accepted. but it's the least controversial and it's becoming more and more accepted everyday even in the other languages.
2.There is a consensus among scientists about what a science is. here is the concepts they like to add to the definition: Science is...
It is up to phylosophy of science, ontology, and epistemology scholars to define and identify science from a neutral point of view. The scientists themselves may say X is pseudoscience, to defend their own thesis. here are examples of what has been called "not science":
Yes. Even science itself has said to be wrong by scientists. so there is a serious lack of consensus here. because we have to identify what's a science and what's not a science.
SUGGESTION: let's include all the branches of science, even pseudoscience and refuted science under science. Instead of discussing if it's a science, we should remain neutral and focus on classifying them according to subject. the visitors can decide for themselves is something is science or not.
{please don't criticize until I add my references. I will also not contribute to the science tree until then.}
I could find a few important conclusions. Took me three weeks actively and two years waiting:
1. There are about 80 definitions for religion. non of them are inclusive and exclusive. - A companion to great religions by Hossein Tawfiqi.
2. The definition of human is prerequisite to the definition of religion. that's why religion is hard to define. - Faith, equality, freedom by Ali Shariati.
3. Religion has an extensional definition: Formal religions & Ideologies(Informal religions). So If we can define both of them, Religion will be defined.
4. A formal religion is "a named set of beliefs, ethics or laws."
an easier to understand version is: "a named set of beliefs, ethics, laws or a combination of them."
5. belief in god or any supernatural being is not necessary in eastern religions. so the extensional definition of religion is NOT: "Atheism, Polytheism, monotheism, ..." This is the extensional definition of theology, and these are belief systems. religion is more than just belief systems. for example there is both theist and atheist Christianity.
6. Ideology (technical term): a set of beliefs, ethics, laws or a combination of them.
So here is my suggestions:
Religion:
Ideology:
Formal religion:
Criticism: Formal religions can be identified using terms like "monotheistic" & ... Answer: I should become more specific and post a full classification of theology and formal religions diagrams to see whether of not it is completely possible.
criticism is closed until I answer this.
