PHILOSOPHICAL THEORIES FOR LIFE

Positivism is the state of being confident of something. An example of positivism is a Christian being absolutely certain there is a God. The quality or state of being positive; certainty; assurance. Pragmatism is a way of dealing with problems or situations that focus on practical approaches and solutions that will work in practice, as opposed to being ideal in theory. Constructivism is based on the idea that people actively construct or make their own knowledge, and that reality is determined by your experiences as a learner. Basically, learners use their previous knowledge as a foundation and build on it with new things that they learn.


POSITIVISM

The basic affirmations of positivism are that all knowledge regarding matters of fact is based on the “positive” data of experience and that beyond the realm of fact is that of pure logic and pure mathematics. Those two disciplines were already recognized by the 18th-century Scottish empiricist and skeptic David Hume as concerned merely with the “relations of ideas,” and, in a later phase of positivism, they were classified as purely formal sciences. On the negative and critical side, the positivists became noted for their repudiation of metaphysics of speculation regarding the nature of reality that radically goes beyond any possible evidence that could either support or refute such “transcendent” knowledge claims. In its basic ideological posture, positivism is thus worldly, secular, antitheological, and antimetaphysically

CONSTRUCTIVISM

The constructivist philosophy portrays the idea that learning does not just happen from the traditional method of teachers standing in front of the class and lecturing. However, to the constructivist, learning occurs only when the learner discovers the knowledge through the spirit of experimentation and doing. The brain behind this kind of philosophical approach is best described in Confucius, the renowned Chinese philosopher’s quote: “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” What is the meaning of his statement? If teachers spoon-feed students with knowledge as a mother does the weaning child, the students will forever be immature, not having the keen ability to make constructive arguments about issues and drawing tentative conclusions of situations. The best option that the constructivist philosophers believe and propose is fully engaging the student in the teaching and learning processes to enable him to discover the knowledge or truth.

PARAGMATISM

Pragmatism is a philosophical movement that includes those who claim that an ideology or proposition is true if it works satisfactorily, that the meaning of a proposition is to be found in the practical consequences of accepting it, and that unpractical ideas are to be rejected.

Network Intrusion Detection

Image
  Introduction At the moment we will deal with the "Network Intrusion Detection" subject. The objective of this assignment is finding computer network attacks are normal or anomalous with some features. Here, we begin with a Kaggle dataset. The "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset ( https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sampadab17/network-intrusion-detection) is a collection of network traffic data that can be used to detect and classify unauthorized or malicious activities within a computer network. Binary classification refers to the task of categorizing instances into one of two classes, in this case, normal or intrusive network traffic.   Data preparation Data preparation is an essential step in the machine learning process to ensure that the data is in a suitable format for analysis. Here are some common data preparation steps we are follow for binary classification using the "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset : Load the Dataset: Start by loa...

METHOD WE USE WITH EVIDENCE AND OBSERVATIONS

 Science is the study of the behavior and nature of things and the knowledge that we can obtain about them. Simply, it is a tool that use to understand the natural world. What I mentioned as natural here is all that we can observe with our senses. Science is concerned with testable knowledge of the universe's physical events. The objective of science is to figure out how the universe works. Biology is concerned with the study of living things. Biology is a scientific branch concerned with the study of living creatures. Chemistry is a branch of science concerned with the study of atoms and molecules. Natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences are the two main fields of science. Scientists use a method called "scientific inquiry" to learn more and to gain knowledge about nature and physical events. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Science can be defined as learning or understanding new things or understanding or exploring things. Inquiry means asking about information or investi...

KNOWLEDGE THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF PHILOSOPHY

  INTRODUCTION Perception is the sensory experience of our surrounding environment. In broad, perception can be defined as organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. This is a process of physical or chemical stimulation of the sense orange by involving the signals in the nervous system. For example, when the light striking the retina of the eye it makes vision, hearing involves pressure waves. But the perception is not the passive receipt of these above signals. It is shaped by learning, memory, expectations, and attention. This is to show we organize the elements in our brain. Firstly, we select the item to attend to and block out most of everything else in the surround. Yes! It is our brain’s way of focusing on the task to give it our attention. In this case, we have chosen to attend to the image. Then, we organize the elements in our brain.  For this picture, there might some individuals who ...
