A notion in philosophy is a reflection in the mind of reality real object philosophy object s and phenomena in their essence essential features and relations. Notions are usually described in terms of scope and content. This is because notions are often created in response to empirical observations or experiment s of covarying trends among variables. Primitive Notion A primitive notion is used in logic or mathematics as an undefined term or concept at the foundation of an axiomatic system to be constructed. However, in philosophy the term primitive notion has historical content. For example, Gottfried Leibniz wrote De Alphabeto Cogitationum Humanarum , an alphabet for human thought. Jaap Maat 2004 reviewed Leibniz for Philosophical Languages of the 17th Century . According to Leibniz, The alphabet of human thought is a catalogue of primitive notions, or those we cannot render clearer by any definitions. Maat explains, a thing which is known without other intermediate notions can be considered to be primitive, and further, a primitive notion is said to be conceived through itself . Another example is in the Meditations of Rene Decartes . In 1992 Daniel Garber published Descartes Metaphysical Physics . On page 92 he notes, Descartes claim that mind body unity is a primitive notion on a par with the primitive notions of thinking and extended substance... Desmond M. Clarke , on page 38 of his book Descartes Theory of Mind quotes the philosopher I think that there are certain primitive notions in us which are like originals. There are very few such notions. For apart from the most general notions of being, number, duration, etc which apply to everything that we can conceive, we have only the notion of extension that is specifically for the body, and from that flow the notions ..., we have only the concept of their union, on which depends the notion of the soul s power to move ...

Tiles 2004 The Philosophy of Set Theory , page 99 DEFAULTSORT Primitive Notion Category Mathematical ...In mathematics , logic , and formal system s, a primitive notion is an undefined concept. In particular, a primitive notion is not defined in terms of previously defined concepts, but is only motivated informally, usually by an appeal to Intuition knowledge intuition and everyday experience. In an axiomatic theory or other formal system , the role of a primitive notion is analogous to that of axiom . In axiomatic theories, the primitive notions are sometimes said to be defined by one or more axioms, but this can be misleading. Formal theories cannot dispense with primitive notions, under pain of infinite regress . Alfred Tarski explained the role of primitive notions as follows When we set out to construct a given discipline, we distinguish, first of all, a certain small group of expressions of this discipline that seem to us to be immediately understandable the expressions in this group we call PRIMITIVE TERMS or UNDEFINED TERMS, and we employ them without explaining their meanings. At the same time we adopt the principle not to employ any of the other expression of the discipline under consideration, unless its meaning has first been determined with the help of primitive terms and of such expressions of the discipline whose meanings have been explained previously. The sentence which determines the meaning of a term in this way is called a DEFINITION,... In axiomatic set theory the fundamental concept of set is an example of a primitive notion.

TOC right Will , in philosophy philosophical discussions, consonant with a common English usage, refers to a property of the mind, and an attribute of acts intention intentionally performed. Actions made according to a person s will are called willing or voluntary and sometimes pejoratively willful . In general, Will does not refer to one particular or most preferred desire but rather to the general capacity to have such desiderata and act decisively to achieve them, according to whatever criteria the willing agent applies. The will is in turn important within philosophy because a person s will is one of the most distinct parts of their mind , along with reason and nous understanding . It is one of the things which makes a person who they are, and it is especially important in ethics , because it is the part which determines whether people act, at least when they act deliberately.

Post analytic philosophy describes a detachment from the mainstream philosophical movement of analytic philosophy , which is the predominant school of thought in Anglosphere English speaking countries . Postanalytic philosophy derives mainly from contemporary American thought, especially from the works of philosophers Richard Rorty , Donald Davidson philosopher Donald Davidson , Hilary Putnam , and W.V. Quine . The term is closely associated with the much broader movement of contemporary American pragmatism , which, loosely defined, advocates a detachment from objective truth with an emphasis on convention norm convention , utility usefulness , and social progress . The term postanalytic philosophy itself has been used in a vaguely descriptive sense and not in the sense of a concrete philosophical movement. Many postanalytic philosophers write along an analytic vein and on traditionally analytic topics. In an interview conducted by Wayne Hudson and Win van Reijen, Richard Rorty declared that, I think that analytic philosophy can keep its highly professional methods, the insistence on detail and mechanics, and just drop its transcendental project. I m not out to criticize analytic philosophy as a style. It s a good style. I think the years of superprofessionalism were beneficial. ref See Eduardo Mendieta, Take Care of Freedom and Truth Will Take Care of Itself , pg. 23 ref Rorty encapsulates the essential goal of postanalytic philosophy in that it is not intrinsically opposed to analytic philosophy or its methods, but only to its ultimate aspirations. Postanalytic philosophy may also be known as postphilosophy , a term used by Rorty to emphasize the notion that philosophy no longer serves the role it used to in society and that this role can be seen as having been replaced by other media.

Bantu Philosophy La philosophie bantoue in French language French is a 1945 book written by Placide Tempels which argues that the people of Sub Saharan Africa the use of the term Bantu as an ethnic label is now largely discredited have a distinctive philosophy, and attempts to describe the underpinnings of that philosophy. In his book, Tempels argues that the African philosophical categories can be identified through the categories inherent to language. According to Tempels, the primary metaphysical category in the thought of Bantu speaking societies is Force. That is, reality is dynamic, and being is force. Tempels argues that there are three possible views of the relationship between being and force. Being as distinct from force, that is, beings may have force or may not. Force as part of being, that is, being is more than force, but dependent upon it. Being is Force, that is, the two are one and the same. He argues that members of Bantu speaking cultures hold the last view of force. Specifically Force is not for Bantu a necessary, irreducible attribute of being no, the notion of force takes for them the place of the notion being in our philosophy. Just as we have, so they a transcendental, elemental, simple concept with them force and with us being . Tempels argues that as a result of this fundamental difference in categories, the African life of the mind is structured around understanding and defining Force, which contrasts sharply with the Western enterprise of understanding and defining Being. Bantu Philosophy has been criticized, primarily on the ground that conclusions are gross generalizations which seek to characterize the thought of an entire continent, which, it is argued, it is fundamentally impossible to do in any meaningful way.
