How to define ‘Moral Realism’

Moral realism is the doctrine that some propositions asserting that some action is ‘morally’ good (obligatory, bad, or wrong) are true. This paper examines three different definitions of what it is for an action to be ‘morally’ good (with corresponding definitions for ‘morally’ obligatory, bad, or wrong) which would make moral realism a clear and plausible view. The first defines ‘morally good ...

How to Define Consciousness—and How Not to Define Consciousness

Definitions of consciousness need to be sufficiently broad to include all examples of conscious states and sufficiently narrow to exclude entities, events and processes that are not conscious. Unfortunately, deviations from these simple principles are common in modern consciousness studies, with consequent confusion and internal division in the field. The present paper gives example of ways in ...

Some properties of band matrix and its application to the numerical solution one-dimensional Bratu's problem

A Class of new methods based on a septic non-polynomial spline function for the numerical solution one-dimensional Bratu's problem are presented. The local truncation errors and the methods of order 2th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th, are obtained. The inverse of some band matrixes are obtained which are required in proving the convergence analysis of the presented method. Associated boundary f...

How to Define a Protocol for Object Transportation

In distributed systems, objects are transported and addressed via network connections. A protocol for object transportation helps to cross the mismatch between objects with state and behavior, and a flat transport presentation. There are different strategies for approaching such a protocol definition. The choice of an appropriate process does not only have a technical impact, but also determine...
