The interesting question now is: does it also work the other way around? Can the language that we use influence the way that we perceive and view things?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Logical Positivism was one of the most important schools of philosophy of science in the beginning 20th century. The "Vienna Circle", a group of scientists, mathematicians and philosophers, contributed greatly in promoting this philosophical view. A positivist is a person who only accepts sense perception or experience as the only source of knowledge of the world.  Why is empirical evidence considered to be so much more valuable than other ways of knowing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduced here: the MIU puzzle as an example of a formal system. A formal system is composed of axioms, to which rules of inference are applied to produce theorems to which the rules can be applied again. Confused? Try to MIU puzzle yourself - it's fun!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Determinism refers to the idea that the future is not up to chance, the future can be predicted. Determinists claim that if you had sufficient knowledge of the current situation, then you could in theory predict the behavior of a system into the future. Certain systems are indeed deterministic, many others are not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not always necessary to conduct real-life experiments to reach a valid scientific conclusion. Thought experiments may in some cases also suffice. In this edition I will illustrate you a thought experiment from physics. In a vacuum, all objects accelerate the same way and they both have the same  velocity. Heavy objects will not fall faster. But how can we test this? We do not have a large vacuum chamber to test this. A thought experiment can be useful in this case.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every measurement changes the object that we want to measure. This is called the Observer Effect. When we stick a thermometer into a glass of water to measure its temperature, then the thermometer will change the temperature of the water as well. Similar effects can be observed when measuring voltage or current in electrical circuits. Also in the social sciences we have a similar problem: people will not behave naturally when they feel that they are observed.]]></description>
