Energeia vs Entelecheia: Schelling vs Hegel on Metaphysics Lambda

The metaphysics of laws: dispositionalism vs. primitivism1

The paper compares dispositionalism about laws of nature with primitivism. It argues that while the distinction between these two positions can be drawn in a clear-cut manner in classical mechanics, it is less clear in quantum mechanics, due to quantum non-locality. Nonetheless, the paper points out advantages for dispositionalism in comparison to primitivism also in the area of quantum mechani...

Lambda-topology vs. Pointwise Topology

This paper deals with families of conformal iterated function systems (CIFS). The space CIFS(X, I) of all CIFS, with common seed space X and alphabet I, is successively endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence and the so-called λ-topology. We show just how bad the topology of pointwise convergence is: although the Hausdorff dimension function is continuous on a dense Gδ-set, it is als...

Sex Equality and/or the Family: From Bloom vs. Okin to Rousseau vs. Hegel

Effective lambda-models vs recursively enumerable lambda-theories

A longstanding open problem is whether there exists a non-syntactical model of the untyped λ-calculus whose theory is exactly the least λ-theory λβ . In this paper we investigate the more general question of whether the equational/order theory of a model of the untyped λ-calculus can be recursively enumerable (r.e. for brevity). We introduce a notion of effective model of λ-calculus, which cove...

Guarding constructivism: the Pl-metaphysics of hegel and naturalists

http://www.univie.ac.at/constructivism/journal/11/1/148.werner « 13 » These assumptions of separation and connection provide an illustrative example of the relative differences between diametric and concentric spaces as spatial frames for cognition. diametric and concentric structures are necessary spatialrelational conditions for framing the two different constructions of Gilligan’s moral reas...
