Intrinsic and extrinsic properties (philosophy)

March 8th, 2010

















Intrinsic and extrinsic properties (philosophy)

Jump to: navigation, search

An intrinsic property is a property that an object or a thing has of itself, independently of other things, including its context. An extrinsic (or relational) property is a property that depends on a thing’s relationship with other things. For example, mass is a physical intrinsic property of any physical object, whereas weight is an extrinsic property that varies depending on the strength of the gravitational field in which the respective object is placed.

Contents

  • 1 Criteria
  • 2 Value
  • 3 Intrinsicism and Extrinsicism
    • 3.1 Intrinsicism
    • 3.2 Extrinsicism
  • 4 References
  • 5 External links
  • 6 See also

Criteria

David Lewis offered a list of criteria that should condense the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic properties (numbers and italics added):

  1. A sentence or statement or proposition that ascribes intrinsic properties to something is entirely about that thing; whereas an ascription of extrinsic properties to something is not entirely about the object.

Value

Intrinsic properties are fundamental in understanding Kantian deontological ethics, which is based upon the argument that an action should be viewed on its intrinsic value (the value of the action in itself) with regards to ethics and morality, as opposed to consequentialist utilitarian arguments that an action should be viewed by the value of its outcomes.

Intrinsicism and Extrinsicism

Intrinsicism

Intrinsicism is the belief that value is a non-relational characteristic of an object. This means that an object can be valuable or not, good or bad, without reference to who it is good or bad for, and without reference to the reason it is good or bad. A present day example of it is the belief that guns are evil. People claim that guns are evil in themselves.

Extrinsicism

Extrinsicism is the tendency to place major emphasis on external matters rather than on more profound realities. In terms of morals and ethics, it tends to stress the external observance of laws and precepts, with lesser concern for the ultimate principles underlying moral conduct.

Luke Anthony Pomersbach (born 28 September 1984 in Bentley, Western Australia) is a professional Australian cricketer who currently plays for the Western Warriors and has recently signed with Indian Premier League team Kings XI Punjab. An attacking left-handed batsman, Pomersbach also represents Gosnells in Western Australian club cricket.

Pomersbach made his Ford Ranger Cup debut for Western Australia in their match against New South Wales in November, 2006, scoring 33 runs from 47 balls. In December, 2006 in a two-day tour match at the WACA against the England XI, he showed his potential against a quality bowling attack when he scored 101 not out.

Shortly after, he made his First-class cricket debut against Tasmania in a Pura Cup match at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. He performed very well scoring 74 in the first innings, partnering Chris Rogers in a 106 run 5th wicket partnership. He continued his good form into the second innings when he came to the wicket with WA in trouble at 4/36. With a mix of aggressive strokeplay and careful defending he helped to save WA, scoring 63 runs, leaving his teammates only 32 more runs to win.

In November 2007, Pomersbach and fellow Western Warrior Shaun Marsh were suspended from the state side for drinking alcohol following a game against Queensland. Despite this suspension, he was named in the Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI to play in the annual Lilac Hill game. He starred against the New Zealanders, scoring 88 runs from 65 balls.

Pomersbach then made a most unusual debut for the Australian cricket team in a Twenty20 International against New Zealand in Perth on 11 December 2007. Having not been selected in the original squad for the match, Pomersbach was at the ground as a spectator, when a back injury to Brad Hodge during the warm-up forced the Australian team to call on Pomersbach as an emergency replacement. He again performed well, scoring 15 runs from 7 balls, including a 6 off the third ball he faced. Pomersbach also won the 2008 Bradman Young Player of the Year.

He attended Yale Primary School and Kent Street Senior High School in Perth.

On 9 August 2009, after two hit-and-run incidents, Pomersbach was arrested and charged by police with failing to stop, failing to accompany police, driving with a blood alchol level in excess of .08, assaulting a public officer, obstructing police and escaping legal custody. He pleaded guilty and was fined and had his driver’s licence cancelled. The WACA responded by suspending him indefinitely. On 6 October 2009, Pomersbach was awarded an extraordinary driver’s licence due to hardship using public transport.

He returned from his ban for Western Australia in January 2010.

WWRM (94.9 FM) is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station serving the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida radio market. WWRM began on 107.3 (on what is now WXGL), but later moved to 94.9 with its soft AC format. The station evolved to more of a mainstream AC sound as Magic 94.9 by 2001, a year after joining its new sister station, WDUV (a soft AC station) in its Cox Radio ownership. The station plays Christmas music from mid-November to December 26.

The WDUV/WWRM AC station duo is the same as the two-AC station cluster in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Regent Communications owns AC WLHT 95.7 and soft AC WTRV 100.5.

History

Rahall Communications, owner of WLCY-AM 1380 and WLCY-TV channel 10 in St. Petersburg, signed on 94.9 in 1970 as WLCY-FM from the “Rahall Color Communications Center” on Gandy Boulevard. During the early 1970s, WLCY-FM was an automated station, airing Drake-Chenault’s “Hit Parade” and TM’s “Stereo Rock” formats.

Hoping to follow the sudden rise in popularity of local Top 40 station WRBQ-FM (”Q105″) in the mid-1970s, WLCY-FM switched to live disc jockeys in 1976 with the moniker “Y95,” using the whole-number frequency closest to 94.9. It soon adopted a new call sign, WYNF, a convenient shorthand for “Y-Ninety-Five”.

In 1980, Taft Broadcasting bought the station and rebranded it “95FM- Florida’s Best Rock”. The music shifted from Top 40 to album-oriented rock, to compete with the dominant local AOR station, WQXM. WYNF’s studios moved from St. Petersburg to Tampa, at 504 Reo Street (near Tampa International Airport), home of Taft’s WDAE AM 1250. The change lasted less than two years, and the station was rebranded “95ynf”. WYNF would again become a sister station to channel 10 (now WTSP) in the early-1980s, after Taft acquired Gulf Broadcasting. (Around that time, WDAE was sold to Gannett, while Taft acquired WSUN AM 620 from Plough, Inc.)

After trying out several morning teams including Nick van Cleve and Jack Strapp, and later replacing van Cleve with Ron Diaz, program director Carey Curelop paired Diaz with local comic Ron Bennington, creating the highly-successful Ron and Ron morning show at WYNF in the late eighties.

In 1993, Cox Broadcasting, owners of WWRM (then at 107.3, as “Warm 107″), bought WYNF from Taft’s successor, Citicasters, relocating its studios back to St. Petersburg, at The Koger Center. By this point rival WXTB, the same station that was once WQXM, had surpassed WYNF in the Arbitron ratings, eventually forcing a format change. Longtime jock Don Capone handled the station’s final broadcast while hundreds of fans held up candles in the station’s parking lot.

After a short period of simulcasting WSUN’s talk radio programming, Cox relocated “Warm 107″ and its WWRM calls to 94.9, becoming “Warm 94.9.” In the late 1990s, the station had a minor overhaul, becoming “(The New) Magic 94.9,” though keeping the format and WWRM call sign. (WWRM’s old frequency at 107.3 has since become WXGL.)
