Kant's Syntheticity Revisited by Peirce
Synthese - Tập 113 - Trang 1-41 - 1997
This paper reconstructs the Peircean interpretation of Kant's doctrine on the syntheticity of mathematics. Peirce correctly locates Kant's distinction in two different sources: Kant's lack of access to polyadic logic and, more interestingly, Kant's insight into the role of ingenious experiments required in theorem-proving. In this second respect, Kant's analytic/synthetic distinction is identical ...... hiện toàn bộ
Structures, dynamics and mechanisms in neuroscience: an integrative account
Synthese - Tập 195 - Trang 5141-5158 - 2017
Proponents of mechanistic explanations have recently proclaimed that all explanations in the neurosciences appeal to mechanisms. The purpose of the paper is to critically assess this statement and to develop an integrative account that connects a large range of both mechanistic and dynamical explanations. I develop and defend four theses about the relationship between dynamical and mechanistic exp...... hiện toàn bộ
A functional account of degrees of minimal chemical life
Synthese - Tập 185 - Trang 73-88 - 2011
This paper describes and defends the view that minimal chemical life essentially involves the chemical integration of three chemical functionalities: containment, metabolism, and program (Rasmussen et al. in Protocells: bridging nonliving and living matter, 2009a). This view is illustrated and explained with the help of CMP and Rasmussen diagrams (Rasmussen et al. In: Rasmussen et al. (eds.) in Pr...... hiện toàn bộ
The world is either digital or analogue
Synthese - Tập 191 - Trang 481-497 - 2014
We address an argument by Floridi (Synthese 168(1):151–178, 2009; 2011a), to the effect that digital and analogue are not features of reality, only of modes of presentation of reality. One can therefore have an informational ontology, like Floridi’s Informational Structural Realism, without commitment to a supposedly digital or analogue world. After introducing the topic in Sect. 1, in Sect. 2 we ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pragmatic markers: the missing link between language and Theory of Mind
Synthese - Tập 199 - Trang 1125-1158 - 2020
Language and Theory of Mind come together in communication, but their relationship has been intensely contested. I hypothesize that pragmatic markers connect language and Theory of Mind and enable their co-development and co-evolution through a positive feedback loop, whereby the development of one skill boosts the development of the other. I propose to test this hypothesis by investigating two ty...... hiện toàn bộ
When philosophy (of science) meets formal methods: a citation analysis of early approaches between research fields
Synthese - Tập 200 - Trang 1-47 - 2022
The article investigates what happens when philosophy (of science) meets and begins to establish connections with two formal research methods such as game theory and network science. We use citation analysis to identify, among the articles published in Synthese and Philosophy of Science between 1985 and 2021, those that cite the specialistic literature in game theory and network science. Then, we ...... hiện toàn bộ
Defense, dreams and rationality
Synthese - Tập 57 - Trang 187-204 - 1983
Are some mental activities rational but unconscious? Psychopathological symptoms, it is said, have a sense — they are seen as “compromise-formations” which express the “intentions” of agents even though the agents are totally unaware of “bringing about” such symptoms. Philosophers, who often claim that such a conception is simply contradictory or incoherent, have shed little light on the puzzles a...... hiện toàn bộ
A dynamic-epistemic hybrid logic for intentions and information changes in strategic games
Synthese - Tập 171 - Trang 291-320 - 2009
In this paper I present a dynamic-epistemic hybrid logic for reasoning about information and intention changes in situations of strategic interaction. I provide a complete axiomatization for this logic, and then use it to study intentions-based transformations of decision problems.
