Answers to the questions about Bertrand Russels text The Problems of Philosophy:
Sense-data are the things that are immediately known in sensation: such things as colours, sounds, smells, hardnesses, roughnesses, and so on. He introduces sense-data to distinguish between appearances and reality.Proposition is a claim that is based on sense data about an object without knowing the said object in person. A proposition can be either true or false. The statement of fact is statements about particular objects/facts, not the idea of them. The belief is true when it corresponds to the fact, and it is false if it doesn't.
A phrase of the form 'a so-and-so' Russell shall call an 'ambiguous' description; a phrase of the form 'the so-and-so' (in the singular) Russell shall call a 'definite' description. Thus 'a man' is an ambiguous description, and 'the man with the iron mask' is a definite description.
Some of the main points in Russell’s presentation are that true beliefs can’t be identified as knowledge when they are reasoned from false beliefs. Another point is that knowledge isn’t a particular notion, it’s more likely a possible opinion. You can also say that coherent opinions are more likely to be true than anyone of them would be separately.
Could u pls tell more about how researchers come to the results that people are not using their OSN profiles to promote an idealized virtual identity?
SvaraRaderaI think that users can create even both profiles (idealized and real). Do you have any thoughts on how to measure their participation then?
SvaraRaderaDoes this theory (as mentioned in the OSN paper) apply to all age groups or is the study conducted within any special ages? One hypothesis would be that people in the age of 18-35 do extend their actual personality and that users above 60 don't have the user experience/knowledge of how to fully express it.
SvaraRaderaYour choice of article is very interesting, as we talked about the idealized image of a person on Facebook, based on Sherry Turkle's book. She pointed out that Facebook made us lonelier, while this research shows something different completely :)
SvaraRaderaInteresting results from the research. We often hear from different "experts" in media that we should use (for example) Facebook to promote ourselves. I think it's good if we don't fake it too much on the web, because we spend a rather big amount of our lives there/here.
SvaraRaderaekksen: I don't think that FB made lonelier instead we can talk to our friends every time and discuss different stuff in FB chats and then meet offline if we talk about projects etc. It's a good way to organize things but the problem is that we spend too much time on Facebook. Social networks earn money from us and our attention.
