Name Professor Philosophy Date Physicalism, hard determinism, utilitarianism and deontology in philosophy Physicalism or materialism is the philosophical idea about the world on the perception that everything is a manifestation of the physical aspects of existence. One of the scientific evidence of physicalism is the human body system. When one clenches and unclenches their fists repeatedly, arms muscles contract and relax respectively (A. Melnyk, 2003).

Processes that occur in the skeletal muscles of the human body are well...

All over the world, it is believed that objects will always fall to the ground. If this is true for gravity, why discount the likelihood of the sun naturally rising as before? Again, the rotation of the earth is an event validated by science. This is a factor that is...

Are we justified to believe that the sun will rise...
