Commentators have rightly focused on the reasons why Hume maintains that conclusions of skeptical arguments cannot be believed, as well role these play in Hume's justification his account mind. Nevertheless, interpreters should take more seriously question whether holds are demonstrations. Only if demonstrations do they requisite status to prove point—and justify confidence—about nature mind's belief-generating faculties. In this paper, I treat argument against primary/secondary quality distinction my case study, and argue it is intended by a demonstration special variety.

The Incredible Shrinking Torus ⋆
Using M(atrix) Theory, the dualities of toroidally compactified M-theory can be formulated as properties of super Yang Mills theories in various dimensions. We consider the cases of compactification on one, two, three, four and five dimensional tori. The dualities required by string theory lead to conjectures of remarkable symmetries and relations between field theories as well as extremely unu...
متن کاملOtx2's Incredible Journey
A surprising new mechanism that regulates the plasticity of postnatal neurons is reported in this issue by Sugiyama et al. (2008). These authors show in mice that visual experience triggers cell-to-cell transfer of the homeoprotein Otx2 to cortical interneurons, where it promotes maturation of inhibitory neural circuitry and opens the critical period for plasticity in the visual cortex.

D id you ever notice how complicated your life is becoming? Back in the good o ld days, resistors with a 20% tolerance rating were basic in all electronic circuitry. Through the years w e have "progressed" through the 20% to 10% to 5% to 1 % tolerance resistors. Granted there are many circuits where the 20% resistors are still used quite extensively, but as we strive for higher precision, lower...

considering its central role in energy metabolism in almost all eukaryotes, the mitochondrion is an amazingly plastic organelle, both evolutionarily and functionally. the few genes that the mitochondrial genome (mito chondrial DNa; mtDNa) encodes are clearly bacterial in origin —emanating from the α-proteobacterial lineage—supporting the widely held view that the mitochondrion is the evolutiona...
