1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 8. Humour
22701 Jokes can sometimes be funny because they are offensive [Jacobson,D]
3. Truth / B. Truthmakers / 3. Truthmaker Maximalism
17962 The truth-maker principle is that every truth has a sufficient truth-maker [Forrest]
10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 2. Nature of Possible Worlds / a. Nature of possible worlds
15432 Structural universals might serve as possible worlds [Forrest, by Lewis]

22703 We don't often respond to events in art as if they were real events [Jacobson,D]
21. Aesthetics / C. Artistic Issues / 7. Art and Morality
22702 Audiences can be too moral [Jacobson,D]
22696 'Autonomism' says the morality is irrelevant to the aesthetics [Jacobson,D]
22697 Moral defects of art can be among its aesthetic virtues [Jacobson,D]
22700 Immoral art encourages immoral emotions [Jacobson,D]
22699 Moderate moralism says moral qualities can sometimes also be aesthetic qualities [Jacobson,D]
22698 We can judge art ethically, or rate its ethical influence, or assess its quality via its ethics [Jacobson,D]
27. Natural Reality / A. Classical Physics / 2. Thermodynamics / b. Heat
20624 Work degrades into heat, but not vice versa [Close]
27. Natural Reality / A. Classical Physics / 2. Thermodynamics / c. Conservation of energy
20623 First Law: energy can change form, but is conserved overall [Close]
27. Natural Reality / A. Classical Physics / 2. Thermodynamics / d. Entropy
20625 Third Law: total order and minimum entropy only occurs at absolute zero [Close]
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 1. Relativity / a. Special relativity
20622 All motions are relative and ambiguous, but acceleration is the same in all inertial frames [Close]
20628 The electric and magnetic are tightly linked, and viewed according to your own motion [Close]
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 1. Relativity / b. General relativity
20635 The general relativity equations relate curvature in space-time to density of energy-momentum [Close]
27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / a. Electrodynamics
