He believes that theories should not be changed or discounted because they cannot account for every anomaly, but rather they should be viewed for what they do explain and how they change the way we conceptualize the world. The author then describes science as not being about certainty,

Having studied the first part “what is real”, I started to reconsider the seemingly real world that I originally took for granted. And it followed that several questions came over my mind. Firstly of all, in the process of seeking truth, can reason really be separated from empirical experience? Secondly, what is the measurement of the degree to which something is real?

In this paper, I will state the Theory of Forms along with details about the nature of Forms and the Third Man Argument in order to demonstrate that the argument does not strongly refute the theory because the self-exemplification and the non-identity assumptions can be satisfied simultaneously. In Plato’s Theory of Forms, he describes Forms as being eternal, infinite, and unchanging entities
To begin with, when dealing with criminology, there are numerous of different theories that explains the causations of crime.
