This paper looks at Robert Klee and his work "Introduction to the Philosophy of Science". This paper discusses Klee's argument that "reductionism" is central to the future development of the sciences. 5 pgs. 13 f/c. 1b.
The following is an essay and analysis on W.V. Quine's central arguments in his work titled "Two Dogmas of Empiricism". In particular, this paper will focus on the argument that maintains that there can be no analytic truths with out some consideration of synthetic variables as well. In short, it is argued that synthetic factors have a determining impact in shaping what we have traditionally regarded as 'analytic'. Thus, a consideration and analysis of what Quine regards as 'analytic' and 'synthetic' becomes a central concern. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 1b.

This six-page graduate-level paper examines and analyzes manned missions to Mars, and concludes that sending human crews to explore our neighboring planet would not be a wise choice at this time. There are better alternatives, such as establishing a commercial presence in near-earth orbit and the Moon, and exploring Mars with unmanned probes. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
