3.) early in the text, russell claims that the primary value of philosophy lies in making us doubt what we think we know. however, by the end of text, he claims that philosophy allows humans to "see as god might see." are these two assertions a contradiction or a paradox?

These assumptions are a contradiction.

Explanation:

The two statements are a contradiction because they give opposing ideas on the same subject. He claims philosophy should include a constant doubt on knowledge, to make us never settle and always improve our hypothesis. However, he also claims philosophy allows humans to " see as God might see", which indicates an absolute view in each matter. It is not a paradox because he is relativist in the terms, he doesn't say humans will be like God, omnipotent and all-knowing, but in the constant movement of study and doubt one might tangency something of divine feel.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (tabula rasa);

the historians cited in the article all agree with one another about the cause of the civil war. despite coming from different backgrounds and cultures, the historians agree that slavery was the root cause of the civil war. the fact that all these historiansgenerally agree with one another makes their shared viewpoints more reliable and valid, especially because the historians have different backgrounds and all work for the well-respected institutions of howard university, clemson university, and the university of colorado.
