        1 - The Significant Absence of Man to Express the Divine in the Crisis of Corona 2019: An Analysis According to Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit

        The global outbreak of the corona virus (2019) in the world has led to a rethinking of many human relationships. The humanities, and especially philosophy, were no exception. In this study, an attempt is made to rethink the absence of humans in public and its relation to the expression of the divine in three areas: art, religion, and philosophy, according to the text of the “Phenomenology of spirit”. In Hegel's thought, the expression of the divine command in the three mentioned fields is possible with the presence of man and for man. The emptying of public, especially places of worship, has led us to question how man and the divine relate to the contemporary world. The results of this study show that in the modern world, nihilism and secularism, art and religion were ineffective in expressing the divine from Hegel's point of view. However, the specific appearances and ceremonies of the arts and the Christian revealed religion still demonstrate them to be effective, Corona unveiled a larger crisis that is the result of the departure of the divine. In the contemporary world, it is possible to express the divine in philosophy. Hegel argues that religion and God are rational, and that the process of the Spirit's manifestation in the material world has been rational, but with an in-depth look at the history of metaphysics, and the events of the modern world, we see that the rational divine is still unthinkable.

        2 - The Ontological and Epistemological Necessity of Local Beables in Quantum Mechanics

        Bell, in some of his papers, introduces local beables, distinct from observables, in QM. This paper aims to illustrate the importance and necessity of local beables arise from both ontological and epistemological considerations. Given that the wave function is an essential element of quantum theory, we explain how understanding the ontological significance of the wave function in the context of beables provides us a ground for choosing a more satisfactory interpretation or theory of quantum mechanics among the rivals Manuscript profile

        3 - Conditional-Predicative Conjunctive Syllogisms and Division of Propositions into Actuality, Mental and Factual

        The necessity of the compatibility in all elements of logic is something that has never been denied among Muslims intellectuals. Throughout the history of logic, any possible inconsistency in the rules of logic, albeit small, has led to a careful study by Muslim logicians. In the continuation of this process, the present text introduces an important inconsistency in the current views of the logicians. In contemporary opinion, the division of predicative proposition into three categories: actuality, mental, and factual (with differences in interpretation) has been endorsed by most Islamic logicians and philosophers. It is claimed that this division is independent of the rest of the rules of logic and can be accepted without changing the syllogism expressed in the logical tradition. In this paper, it is presented that elements of the conditional-predicative conjunctive syllogisms can only be accepted if the predicative propositions are factual. This claim is proved by examining the conditional- predicative conjunctive syllogism by sharing an incomplete part and the middle term is a part of conditional consequence. This part of the syllogism in the tradition of Avicennian logic is considered the most obvious example of conditional-predicative syllogism with a shared incomplete part. Careful examination of the evidence in the books of the Avicennian logicians has shown the validity of our claim. Manuscript profile

        4 - Massive Modularity Hypothesis, Heuristic and Cognitive Bias: Competitor or Complementary

        In the cognitive sciences, two distinct theories have been proposed about the structure of the human mind, both of which are evolutionary but also different. One of them is the theory of evolutionary psychology and its related claim to the massive modularity hypothesis, which considers the mind as a set of modules. Another is the simple heuristic and its related claim to the existence of an adaptive toolbox in cognitive methods that assigns mind guidance to the existence of a set of heuristics. Both theories seek to explain cultural diversity by applying these modules/ heuristics. Although proponents of each do not routinely mention the existence of another theory, both theories, both the massive modularity hypothesis and the existing idea of heuristics in the mind, seek to provide explanations not only from an evolutionary perspective but also in comparative psychology (Which compares the behavior of non-human species) are also acceptable. They also want to explain how cognitive processes are processed in our minds. However, at first, there are reasons to think that these theories offer explanations of human cognition that are incompatible with each other or undermine each other. What is challenged in this article is how a human being, who has always been influenced by a variety of heuristics, cognitive biases, and irrationality in reasoning, judgment, and decision-making during the process of evolution, can have a massive modular cognitive structure in its mind. And be organized to have a logical function Manuscript profile

        wisdom two approaches can be adopted: investigating the ontological problems of anthropology of following up ontological principle that used in anthropology. This according to the second approach by expressing the principles of Sadra’s anthropology. That is to say: soul definition, soul creation, soul eternity, soul spiritual, the relationship between the soul and the body, the connection between soul and the ability and the perfection. Tries to explaining the role of the principles of ontology that is defined in Sadra’s anthropology. The definition of the soul and the related subjects based on originality of existence, degrees of existence, and the motion of substance, relation of the existence and substance and is point to the identity of the existence. The function of the soul creation is based on the motion of substance and originality of existence. In Sadra’s books eternity explained on relation of the existence and substance, the motion of substance and originality of existence. While the eternity is not incompatible by creation of soul too. The acceptance of mediator between the material and spiritual cosmos, make it possible that the aspect of immaterial and impossibility and the creation of an immaterial subject and physical place. And prepares the field of the soul’s imaginary, spiritual and immaterial. The relationship between soul and body and soul and ability based on the motion of substance and originality of existence, degrees of existence, unity of existence, function and power explained. The soul’s perfection based on function and power and the motion of substance has been defined. If wisdom system can explains own the principles of anthropology without originality of existence, actually, that can express the ontology likes transcendental wisdom of Mullasadra Manuscript profile

        6 - A Critique on the Qualia Denial: A Study of Dennett’s View

        Mental qualities, in the minimal and intuitive concept, is intrinsic and phenomenal characters of experience called “qualia”. Perceptual states, bodily sensation, emotional states, and quasi-perceptual states are usually considered as examples of mental states that are included qualia. Daniel Dennett, an American philosopher, denies the existence of qualia using the intuition pump designed by him. His view is known as “Reductionism of Qualia”. In these tests, Dennett calls history of qualia into question and reveals the contradictions that may exist in qualia. In contrast to Dennett, philosophers such as Tye, unlike Dennett, argues that reverse quality is possible to exist and William Webb considers the technological advances as the cause of empirical confirmation of qualia reverse. In the end, a third perspective is formulated by the authors to Dennett’s arguments according to which every conscious experience has characters which may be specific to a person: Characters that are necessary to a complete explanation of a phenomenon.

        7 - Explanation and Prediction of Earthquake: The Necessity of Simultaneous Application of Nomothetic and Idiographic Approaches

        Explaining and predicting earthquakes has always been a human issue throughout history. Despite advances in seismology, the science has not yet been successful in efficiently predicting earthquakes, that is, in short time and space scales. Tectonic plate theory, as a successful theory for explaining earthquakes in a “general” form, is compatible with both explanatory approaches in the philosophy of science, that is, argumentative and causal. However, to predict earthquakes efficiently and locally, we seem to need a different approach to this science. Wilhelm Windelband has made the distinction between the nomothetic sciences and idiographic sciences. This distinction has inspired empirical sciences such as medicine and psychology. In this paper, we show that in seismology, like medicine and psychology, to achieve effective forecasting, these two approaches can be used simultaneously, and we suggest, based on ethical interests and that seismology is a science that deals with the lives of millions of people. In addition to the nomothetic approach, it is necessary for experts in this field to use an idiographic approach so that they can predict the desired earthquake in a short time and place.
