"In the shooter hypothesis, a good marksman shoots at a target, creating a hole every ten centimeters. Now suppose the surface of the target is inhabited by intelligent, two-dimensional creatures. Their scientists, after observing the universe, discover a great law: “There exists a hole in the universe every ten centimeters.” They have mistaken the result of the marksman’s momentary whim for an unalterable law of the universe."

[2]
"The farmer hypothesis, on the other hand...
Every morning on a turkey farm, the farmer comes to feed the turkeys. A scientist turkey, having observed this pattern to hold without change for almost a year, makes the following discovery: “Every morning at eleven, food arrives.” On the morning of Thanksgiving, the scientist announces this law to the other turkeys. But that morning at eleven, food doesn’t arrive; instead, the farmer comes and kills the entire flock."

A. Write a 300 word response to [1] OR [2] using ALL following terms:

A Priori & A Posteriori
Induction & Deduction
Phenomenology & Positivism.

FYI, no one here is going to do your homework for you. You should have figured that out by now.

Pardon me if I am being obtuse, but in a philosophy and reasoning course, surely the idea is you do your own thinking and reasoning?

What intrigues me is this - what the OP has asked for gives me a certain impression of his/her aptitude for philosophy and reasoning. In the unlikely event that anybody on here furnished even a half-way decent essay as requested, and the OP submitted it as his/her own work, don't you think the professor or teacher (who must surely have formed the same impression) would smell a rat?
