Readers unacquainted with its reputation as a satirical work often do not immediately realize that Swift was not seriously proposing cannibalism and infanticide, nor would readers unfamiliar with the satires of Horace and Juvenal recognize that Swift's essay follows the rules and structure of Latin satires.

In calling his work Being and Nothingness an " essay in phenomenological ontology " Jean-Paul Sartre follows Heidegger in defining the human essence as ambiguous, or relating fundamentally to such ambiguity.

It follows that the magnetic force does no work on the particle ; it may change the direction of the particle's movement, but it cannot cause it to speed up or slow down.

Turing machines can compute functions as follows: if f is a function that takes natural numbers to natural numbers, M < sup > A </ sup > is a Turing machine with oracle A, and whenever M < sup > A </ sup > is initialized with the work tape consisting of n + 1 consecutive 1's ( and blank elsewhere ) M < sup > A </ sup > eventually halts with f ( n ) 1's on the tape, then M < sup > A </ sup > is said to compute the function f. A similar definition can be made for functions of more than one variable, or partial functions.

It follows that another element of philosophical method, common in the work of nearly all philosophers, is philosophical criticism.
