Beyond Atomism
Contemporary metaphysicians have been drawn to a certain attractive picture of the structure of the world. This picture consists in classical mereology, the priority of parts over wholes, and the well-foundedness of metaphysical priority. In this short note, I show that this combination of theses entails superatomism, which is a significant strengthening of mereological atomism. This commitment...
متن کاملBeyond Atomism
In this note, I present a problem for a certain natural view about the structure of the world. I show that this view is committed to a particular strengthening of atomism, which I call superatomism. Superatomism has some counterintuitive consequences (e.g. it rules out whatMarkosian [] calls the ‘pointy view’ of simples). I consider some ways of avoiding this commitment, and draw some additio...
متن کاملAtomism and Quantization∗
Within the framework of the theory of interacting classical and quantum gases it is shown that the atomistic constitution of gases can be understood as a consequence of (second) quantization of a continuum theory of gases. In this note this is explained in some detail for the theory of non-relativistic interacting Bose gases, which can be viewed as the second quantization of a continuum theory ...
متن کاملResidual Images Remove Illumination Artifacts!
In past studies, illumination effects have been proven to cause the most common problems in correspondence algorithms. In this paper, we conduct a study identifying that the residual images (i.e., differences between images and their smoothed versions) contain the important information in an image. We go on to show that this approach removes illumination artifacts between corresponding pairs of...
متن کاملAtomism in Ancient Medical History.
THE history of the development of the atomic theory is usually imagined to be the exclusive province of chemistry and physics, and there is a tendency to suppose that molecular biology is one of the most recent products of twentiethcentury science. For these reasons it is surprising to discover that the paths of the corpuscular world-view and theoretical physiology crossed more than two thousan...
