متن کاملOn whether some laws are necessary
In Bird 2001 I argued that a law that might seem to many to be contingent is in fact necessary. In short the argument is this. Given the existence of salt and water, Coulomb’s law of electrostatic attraction is sufficient to make the former dissolve in the latter. So any possible world in which salt failed to dissolve in water would be one in which Coulomb’s law is false. However, it is also th...
متن کاملApproximation of control laws with distributed delays: a necessary condition for stability
The implementation of control laws with distributed delays that assign the spectrum of unstable linear multivariable systems with delay in the input requires an approximation of the integral. A necessary condition for stability of the closed-loop system is shown to be the stability of the controller itself. An illustrative multivariable example is given.
متن کاملCeteris Paribus Laws and Minutis Rectis Laws
Special science generalizations admit of exceptions. Among the class of nonexceptionless special science generalizations, I distinguish (what I will call) minutis rectis (mr) generalizations from the more familiar category of ceteris paribus (cp) generalizations. I argue that the challenges involved in showing that mr generalizations can play the law role are underappreciated, and quite differe...
متن کاملnecessary conditionals: real and verbal
avicenna has divided the conditionals to the real cogent (i.e. with possible antecedent) and the verbal cogent (i.e. with the impossible antecedent). denying the truth of the latter, he caused controversies among moslem logicians. at the paper, we report the controversies, analyze the real and verbal cogent conditionals, formalize them in modern modal and relevant logics, and finally, defend id...
