 Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2011 7:15 pm Subject: Francis Fukuyama |
| so much hegel and marx and confusion!
I just made a connection to Hegel, so I'm going to start with that. It's pretty clear why Fukuyama thinks history is over: he doesn't know any better. This is ... |

| So, I just finished the reading, and before I read any posts and forget my point, I'm gunna throw out a definition of science... after I explain where I got it. I'm more of an Einstein thinker, for su ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:29 pm Subject: Einstein! |
| I agree with everything most people have said about why Einstein's theory of relativity and concept of the speed of light changed science. I loved the quote Miranda used, but for a different reason th ... | |

| Well, I might not be digging deep enough here, but I think Newton's search for light 100% changed science. This search caused Newton a ton of problems, and left him with a lot of questions to try and ... | |

| Kate asked what history is about if it isn't about truth. I'm going to say that history is about getting to the truth, but it's unrealistic to think that we will find one final truth. (again, sorry Ma ... | |

| Well, I don't have too much to say that hasn't been said. Contat is a story teller more than a historian, while the analytical piece is historical because it required research and discussion. I think ... | |

| Bree!! Maybe you're right! I can't decide if I like Douglas' idea, your idea, or maybe still mine (probably not) best. I think you and Doug were saying the same thing in different ways, which is that ... | |

| Just a clarification. (sorry Lilia). I didn't say the connection was perfection, I said it was progress, and I think it's a very important distinction.
also, douglas, don't be sorry! i wasn't set in ... |

| I thought all three came together in the idea of a necessary struggle for progress. (very hegelian) I'm also going to call them all historians, even Darwin. He studied the past, and looked into how ma ... | |

| i spent a reallllly long time on Kant, and then saw rachel's post about doing the one we understand least, so this is a little awkward. But the good part about focusing on something I thought I unders ... | |

| i get Kant a lot better than Hegel, so i was thinking of focusing most of my preparation on just him, with a little hegel thrown in. there's so much to cover, and i think it would be easier if we all ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 1:23 pm Subject: Galileo |
| Well, I thought the role of experience was way more important than authorities. It seemed that Galileo wouldn’t believe anything he heard unless he could prove it himself. I think that’s really awesom ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:34 pm Subject: Herodotus and Thucydides |
| niko,i think history should be 100% accurate. As much as I wish it was possible, with storytellers like Herodotus and Thucydides along the way, history gets messed up. Someone mentioned the Churchill ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2011 5:15 pm Subject: Herodotus and Thucydides |
| I'm going with Thucydides. At first, i was for Herodotus, especially after reading the preface he wrote for his book. (page 15, right side) It really seemed that Herodotus focused on what and why thin ... | |
