- Description
- Dr. Bill Quillian began his presentation: “The aim of this paper is to provide a fairly simple outline of some of the major philosophical positions current today.” Quillian describes five positions in his paper (“Five Easy Lessons”). The first three he discusses fall under the general category of non-rationalistic philosophies: Pragmatism, Positivism, and Existentialism. The next two Quillian examines are rationalistic systems: Idealism and Naturalism.
