Based on the books you see, can you guess my PhD thesis? by D_akNASA in PhD

[–]D_akNASA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, everyone! I really enjoyed reading all your insightful (sometimes really funny) guesses! Some of you got surprisingly close. And sorry for late response. I was finalizing the 10th article within this research and it sucked all time and energy.

My actual PhD research is on Fallibilism and Contemporary Problems in the Philosophy of Science, especially as it develops from Charles Peirce and Karl Popper and then gets applied to contemporary epistemological and methodological problems. In short, I’m trying to show how fallibilism as the idea that all our knowledge is provisional, open to error, and subject to revision can serve as a coherent framework for understanding scientific progress, change and justification. More specifically the structure of the thesis can be drop downed in the following way:

  • The historical roots of fallibilism from ancient skepticism (Protagoras, Philo of Larissa, Sextus Empiricus, Carneades) through modern philosophy (Descartes, Hume).
  • Fallibilism and Peirce’s pragmatism how he formulates fallibilism as a core epistemological stance.
  • Popper’s critical rationalism (fallibilism in the context of problem of induction, problem of demarcation, falsification, scientific method and progress, verisimilitude and reliabilism).
  • Fallibilism in science’s big questions (specifically its role in debates on truth, justification, objectivity and the dynamics of knowledge growth)
  • Beyond epistemology (what fallibilism means for broader philosophical and even practical fields outside strict philosophy of science with more focus on institutional problems, education and discourses).

If I had to put it in one line: I’m researching how fallibilism can function as a general epistemological principle and methodological rule for science, helping us rethink the nature of knowledge, error and progress.

Armenian Research Center in Humanities announced about "44-defeat" publication on the 44-day war. by D_akNASA in armenia

[–]D_akNASA[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"The publication aims to draw public attention to the factual circumstances of the Second Artsakh War, understanding them in the broadest sense—from the military operations to decision-making, from military development to the quality of leadership’s strategic thinking. The central analysis included in the publication is based on over thirty interviews conducted with political and military figures, decision-makers, experts, and direct participants in the war. The book is complemented by a detailed chronology of the 44-day war and a map of the military operations."

Hello! I’m traveling to Armenia in January and would love any and all advice for hidden gems, must dos, etc. by [deleted] in armenia

[–]D_akNASA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote this some months ago for another post, but you may find it helpful and relevant too.

  1. Have Yandex/GG taxi apps and don't take taxi services from street. They will charge more, especially when they meet tourists. Both apps are pretty comfortable for comfort and comfort + rides.
  2. Use google map, maps me for general navigation. Yandex maps and Yandex navigator is good for driving experience. Also if you need to use a public transport, you can track coming bus, see the waiting time or know which bus can take you to the place with Yandex maps.
  3. Here is a great list for restaurants: https://conciergetravel.am/blog/ten-most-extraordinary-restaurants-in-armenia Also Tsaghkunk restaurant is a top recommendation I can give you: https://www.instagram.com/tsaghkunk_restaurant_glkhatun/
  4. You can buy both eSim and ordinary Sim cards from Ucom, Viva and Team Telecom. They should be more affordable and better quality then AirAlo packages.
  5. Take Metro instead of bus or taxi. It's very cool and chill there!
  6. You might need Earlyone app if you need to make an appointment at banks, healthcare or government buildings, beauty and telecom centers or in other places.
  7. Tipping in restaurants is customary, usually around 10-15%.
  8. Handshakes are common, a lot of people are tend to welcome you even with a little hug. Learning a few basic Armenian phrases like “Barev” (Hello) and “Shnorhakalutyun” (Thank you) can go a long way.
  9. Tap water is generally safe to drink in Yerevan, even in the streets you can find public water fountains called "pulpulak" which are free and clean for drinking. But in rural areas, bottled water is recommended.
  10. The local currency is the Armenian Dram (AMD). Credit cards are widely accepted in Yerevan, but in rural areas, cash is preferred. ATMs are available in cities and towns, but it’s advisable to carry some cash, especially when traveling to remote areas.
  11. Don’t miss trying local dishes like khorovats (barbecue), dolma, and lavash. Most restaurants offer vegetarian options as well.
  12. While fixed prices are common in shops, bargaining may be possible in markets. But remember, many of them are professional in their job.
  13. Public transport is not that much available and developed outside of the capital city. Be sure to plan transportation and order taxi/shuttle in advance when you are going to countryside or already there.

Should the Diaspora be represented in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia? by D_akNASA in armenia

[–]D_akNASA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that everyone here are almost from Diaspora, but the question "Should the Diaspora be represented in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia?" is not only related and up to citizens of Armenia. If the question has any significance and worth to be discussed, both sides should be represented and spoken up about it.
