Full Description

Sword of Philosophy attempts to address some of the fundamental questions in philosophy. Beginning with the problem of our conceptions of the outside world and reality itself, it moves into an application of these issues to our experiences of the world and the consequential scientific systems we create. The problem of the nature of values and ethics are considered, and the applications of these problems to society are delineated. The nature of logic and mathematics are considered, with a focus on the incompleteness, model theory, and the differing approaches of formalism and realism. The nature of God is also considered.
