1
Q
The major premise

Survival
7
Q
3 Main doctrines of metaphysical concepts
A
materialism/physicalism
idealism
dualism
8
Q
Dualism is divided into what 3 things
A
Substance dualism (idealism) property dualism (materialism) dualistic interactionism
9

10
Q
Metaphysics
A
Fundamental nature of existence
Combo of ontology, cosmology, teleology
11
Q
Ontology
A
nature of being or reality
12
Q
Cosmology
A
origin and structure of the universe
13
Q
Teleology
A
study of first causes
14
Q
Materialism=physicalism
A
- all about matter
- mind/spirit/soul is an aspect or function of the brain/body
- can become dogma-scientific exclusionism
15
Q
Idealism
A
- mind/spirit is reality, but immaterial in nature
- objects of perception (matter) are only ideas of the perceiving mind
- matter is a creation of mind
16
Q
Dualism
A
- Attributed to descartes
- Reality has two elements (mind and matter)
- Functions on two levels (mental and physical)
17
Q
Property Dualism
A
- Favored by materialistic/physiclistic
- mind is a property of the body
- it is epiphenomenal
- mind does not cause bodily activities
- the mind is an effect of them
- body gives rise to mind
- when body dies, mind ceases to exist
“mind is to body as smoke is to fire”
18
Q
Substance dualism
A
- favored by idealistic
- mind is distinct from the body
- it is a real substance
- it can cause things to happen by acting
- mind exists separate from body so it exists after death
“soul or spirit is the mind”
19
Q
Only matter, never mind
A
materialism/physicalism
20
Q
Only mind, never matter
A
idealism
21
Q
mind FROM matter
A
property dualism
22
Q
mind IN matter
A
substance dualism
23
Q
mind AND matter
A
dualistic interactionism
24
Q
What did BJ Palmer term the mind/body dilemma
A
Great divide
25
Traditional chiropractic philosophy embraces what form of metaphysics
dualism, specifically dualistic interactionism
26
Two fundamental paradigms
mechanism/atomism and vitalism
27
What is life-mechanism/atomism
- life is explained by actions of physical, chemical, and electrical forces
- derived from materialism or scientific exclusionism
- a reaction to antiscientific theological doctrines
- central dogma of biology
"whole is equal to the sum of its parts"
28
What is life- vitalism
- non physical in nature
- derived from dualism
- life=chemistry animated by spirit/force
- inclusive doctrine
- matter/chemistry + the additional influence of a separate, non-physical entity or field
29
Two interpretations of vitalism
extreme and moderate
30
Extreme vitalism = naive
- matter evolves, then spirit animates it
- lends itself to theological interpretation
- presence in living systems of a substantial entity that imparts to the system powers possessed by no inanimate body
"ghost in the machine"
31
examples of extreme vitalism
```
a lifeless corpse
he lost his life
a cat's nine lives
life in a test tube
frankensteins monster
```
32
Moderate vitalism
- mind co-evolves with physical structure
- vital forces always a part never apart from the process of living thing
"life in matter inseparably"
33
What are the major premise and triune of life in chirpractic philosophy paralleled to
moderate vitalism
34
examples of moderate vitalism
innate intelligence
| universal intelligence
35
moderate mechanism
the presence in living systems of emergent properties, contingent upon the organization of inanimate parts, but not reducible to them
life is epiphenomenal- an emergent property of the matter
36
self-forming is
autopoietic
37
self-organizing is
structurally antientropic
38
self-regulating
homeostatic
39
self-repairing
self-healing
40
entropy
thermodynamic term referring to energy equilibrium
41
structural entropy
ever-growing disorder in the universe over time; proceeding toward disorder
42
structural antientropy
development of INCREASED order or organizations; sometimes termed syntropy
43
Which type of dualism didn't exists according to Dr. Lipton
materialism/property dualism "mechanical"
only idealism/substance "quantum energy based" should exist
44
Which philosophy did Dr. Lipton follow
the tendency to seek correction of cause by restoring integrity to the system
NOT tendency to treat disease entities/symptoms
45
deduction
laws-->theory-->research hypothesis-->
predicted relationships--> facts-->
empirical observations
46
induction
empirical observations-->facts-->
empirical generalizations-->
conceptual framework-->
theory-->law
47
T/F the human body and its behavior are machine like and thus are controlled by our genes
False according to Dr. Lipton
48
T/F the universe and the humans in it are most accurately described in terms of energy "quantum universe"
True according to Dr. Lipton
49
What is the central dogma of biomedicine
medicines adherence to the concept of genes controlling biology dates to Darwin's work, and reinforced by Watson & Crick's discovery of DNA
50
Human genome project
predicted 100,000-300,00 genes would exists to explain human physiology
only 30,000 exist
51
T/F a cell can live without a nucleus if the human brain is still intact
True- therefore the nucleus/DNA does not control a cell's behavior
52
What functionally controls a cell's behavior
What is its brain
the cell membrane
works as a switch receiving signals from cell's environment
53
What are environmental signals
perception
54
what controls the behavior of our cells
signals/energy from the environment
55
what is the flow of control of behavior
above-down-inside-out
ADIO
56
What are the limitations of deductive reasoning
quality of assumptions
quality of logic
it is not self testing
57
Which principles are universal
1-14
58
Which principles are biological
15-30
59
Which principles are chiropractic
31-33
60
What are the 3 categories of the 33 principles
universal
biological
chiropractic
61
What do the universal principles state
-outline the concept of intelligent universe
-define ability to self organize
-establish the relationship between
intelligence and matter
"dualistic interactionism"
62
what do the biological principles state
- self organizing potential of a living thing as its innate intelligence
- describe constructive forces created within living things
"life in matter inseparably"
63
Innate intelligence
#16
a living thing has the intelligence of the universe inborn within it, referred to as its "innate intelligence"
64
universal intelligence
- is expressed in living things
| - gives all matter its properties and actions
65
Evidence of life
#19
The signs of life (assimilation, elimination, growth, reproduction, adaptability) are evidence of the innate intelligence of life
66
The mission of Innate intelligence
The mission of the body's innate intelligence is to maintain the material of the body of a living thing in active organization
67
The cause of dis-ease
interference with the transmission of innate forces causes in-coordination, or dis-ease
68
Subluxations
```
#33
Interference with transmission in the body is often directly or indirectly due to subluxations in the spinal column
```
69
Key phrases of stephenson's defintion of chiropractic
things natural
by hand only
the cause of dis-ease
70
key phrases of sinnot's definiton of chiropractic
- nonreligious nature
- without the use of surgical means
- correction of incoordination
