Read the following passage from From a Logical Point of View; Nine Logico-Philosophical Essay and answer the items that follow. The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges, Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience. A conflict with experience at the periphery occasions readjustments in the interior of the field. Truth values have to be redistributed over some of out statements. Re-evaluation of some statements entails re-evaluation of others, because of their logical interconnections-the logical laws being in turn simply certain further statements of the system, certain further elements of the field. Having re-evaluated one statement we must re-evaluate some others, which may be statements logically connected with the first or may be the statements of logical connections themselves Based on the passage given above, the following assumptions have been made (i) Nothing is true simply by definition but with reference to experience (ii) Truth means overall coherence of the statements (iii) geography and history are not sciences Which of the above assumptions are valid?

Read the following passage from The Theory of communicative Action and answer the items that follow 'Political science had to free itself from rational natural law; even modern natural law started from the old-European view that represented society as a politically constituted community integrated through legal norms. The new concepts of bourgeois formal law made it possible to proceed constructively and, from normative points of view, to project the legal political order as a rational mechanism. An empirically oriented political science had to dissociate itself radically from that view. It concerned it6self with politics as a societal subsystem and absolved itself of the task of conceiving society as a whole. In opposition to natural-law normativism, it excluded moral practical questions of legitimacy from scientific consideration, or it treated them as empirical questions about descriptively ascertainable beliefs in legitimacy. It thereby broke off relations to the rationality problematic'. Which one of the following statement best reflects the most critical inference that can be made from the passage given above?
