Essentially Contested Concepts and Semantic Externalism
In 1956, W.B. Gallie introduced his idea of essentially contested concepts. In my paper, I offer a novel interpretation of his theory and argue that his theory, thus interpreted, is correct. The key to my interpretation lies in a condition Gallie places on essentially contested concepts that other interpreters downplay or dismiss: that the use of an essentially contested concept must be derived...
متن کاملComparative Concepts
Comparative concepts such as greener than or higher than are ways of ordering objects. They are fundamental to our grasp of gradable concepts, that is, the type of meanings expressed by gradable general terms, such as “is green” or “is high”, which are embeddable in comparative constructions in natural language. Some comparative concepts seem natural, whereas others seem gerrymandered. The aim ...
متن کاملEssentially Retractable Modules
We call a module essentially retractable if HomR for all essential submodules N of M. For a right FBN ring R, it is shown that: (i) A non-zero module is retractable (in the sense that HomR for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of M are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over R modulo their annihilators. (ii) A non-zero module is essentially retractable if and on...
متن کاملEssentially normal operators
This is a survey of essentially normal operators and related developments. There is an overview of Weyl–von Neumann theorems about expressing normal operators as diagonal plus compact operators. Then we consider the Brown–Douglas–Fillmore theorem classifying essentially normal operators. Finally we discuss almost commuting matrices, and how they were used to obtain two other proofs of the BDF t...
متن کاملEssentially Positive Tensors
The Perron-Frobenius Theorem for irreducible higher order tensors does not guarantee simplicity of the unique positive eigenvalue nor does it guarantee the unique positive eigenvalue is strictly larger than the modulus of any other eigenvalue. Irreducibility of a tensor in relation to a graph is studied. A higher order tensor is essentially positive if it takes the positive cone to its interior...
