In this paper, it is tried to consider the characteristics of the artistic understanding and to propound a proper answer to the question that “what is the art?” Since, this answer involves the element of value, the status of this element in the views of thinkers such Kant, Hegel, Adorno and Heidegger are considered. The main conclusion of the paper is that Heidegger’s artistic conception enjoy characteristics relying on which we can prepare an area for conjoining different philosophical views about the value of the art and the works of art that gathering them together may seem very problematical.

Some philosophers apply Gödel incompleteness theorems to show that modeling the mind by means of a machine is not possible. Arguments based on these theorems are called Gödelian arguments in philosophy of mind. In this article, we want to criticize three Gödelian arguments. These arguments have been presented, respectively, by Rudy Rucker, John Randolph Lucas and Roger Penrose. We try to show that: (a) some parts of Rucker’s argument are and some other parts of it are not sound; (b) Lucas' argument is absolutely failed; and (c) some parts of Penrose’s argument are sound and some other parts of it are doubtful.

Heidegger is one of the earliest thinkers who, in technology, studied the existential status of technology, its dominant gist, and its relation to the modern science and art. This articles aims to show a more precise image of Heidegger's "nature of technology" and present a more proper assessment on the pessimistic or optimistic quality of his philosophy of technology. Heidegger believes that the "nature of technology" is not technical in any way. He passes over the instrumental meaning of technology and seeks an understanding of the "nature of technology" through Greek culture. Therefore, it introduces the concept of technology on the basis of a special interpretation of causality that is based on aletheia. Upon this basis, the modern technology is aletheia, but not the best and the most original aletheia of existence, because it aims to change the universe, rather than to elucidate, interpret and define it. Though the"nature of technology" cannot be meaningful without reference to man and his relation to the universe, such an aletheia dominates human being and controls him. The solution for human is to have a free relation to technology. This understanding of the nature of technology proves that Heidegger is not against technology, but he argues that it should not cause our negligence.

It is prevalently perceived that Kant considered the debat of time only in transcendental aesthetic and schematism of categories of understanding, but this imagination is not absolutely correct. It is right that Kant's whole critical philosophy, especially critique of pure reason, is the debat of time. In fact, Kant in Critique of Pure Reason, founded a sort of metaphysics which can be called metaphysics of time and on this base he changed subject of metaphysics from being to time. Indeed, Kant believes that Human is a temporal being so he can only think about temporal subjects in a choronological manner

Despite the prevalent opinion that the question of religious language and propositions' meaning has manifested in the beginning of the twenty century; an inquiry in outlooks of thinkers who dispute this subject indicates that this problem is one of the most influential approaches in the history of religious-philosophical thoughts. From the negative theology to the last paradigm, i. e. of Alston's functionalism, many approaches have been introduced. In a macro classification, we may confront with six methods in religious language: three classic methods and three modern ones. Which one of these approaches would include Hegel’s philosophy of religion? The main questions of this essay are: 1-Is the problem of religious language meaning considered as the main question in Hegelian philosophy? 2-Which approach has been disposed by Hegel in religious domain? 3-Supposing meaning for religious language in Hegel, whether religious statements are knowledgeable? 4-Despite classifying religion in three types in Hegel philosophy and his concentration on the content and absolute truth in Christianity; could it be possible to consider meaning for religious language in Hegel's thoughts? 5-Is there any resemblance between representation (Vorstellung) theory of Hegel and analogical theology of Aquinas specifically in proportional allegory? The main hypothesis of this article is that Hegel considers meaning and knowledge for religious language and we may speak about religion and ultimate (Transcendent) being by human language in meaningful way

Process reliabilism is one of the most important, and impressive theories in epistemology that was formulated by Alvin Goldman in "What is justified belief?" in 1970s. In this paper, first, we describe process reliablism in a simple form. Then, we criticize this theory and explain it's advantages as well as it's dark points. Descartian evil demon problem, generality problem, lacking any reason for taking the process as a reliable process and the status of the beliefs results from introspection, are the most important problems of this version of the reliabilism. In other section of the paper, we explore the validity of these problems. Finally, it will be illustrated that process reliabilism has the capacity to solve some of the epistemic problems, such as Gettier counter examples.

Robert M. Adams is a Christian thinker who tries to propose, in philosophical methods, a theistic framework for ethics. Since it is not based on particular religious beliefs, it is compatible to different forms of theistic ethics, including forms of Jewish and Islamic as well as Christian ethics. So, in this framework, moral obligations are explained on belief in God, which is the common principle among all divine religions, as infinite Good, beauty and love, and other things are excellent and admirable insofar as they resemble God. In Adams’ thought, loving the Good has the fundamental role in making ideal life and the virtue or excellence is its necessary qualification. In his moral theory, all virtues are moral and intrinsically excellent, so everyone plays a role in creating ideal life. The aim of this article is to elucidate the image of a morally ideal life in Adams’ thoughts. Since the analysis of this image is not possible except to explain Adams’ moral theory and also his idea on the meaning and the status of infinite good and excellence, they will be elucidated here. In this regard, the pluralist role of values and focus on goodness are emphasized.
