Complemented congruences on Ockham algebras
An Ockham algebra L = (L,∧,∨, f, 0, 1) that satisfies the identity f2n+m = fm, n ∈ N and m ∈ N0, is called a Kn,m-algebra. Generalizing some results obtained in [2], J. Varlet and T. Blyth, in [3, Chapter 8], study congruences on K1,1-algebras. In particular, they describe the complement (when it exists) of a principal congruence and characterize these congruences that are complemented. In this...
متن کاملJames of Viterbo on Universals
The chapter starts out with a brief discussion of the similarity alleged to exist by the editors of William Ockham’s Ordinatio between a series of opinions canvassed by Ockham on the nature of universals and a series of opinions listed by James of Viterbo on the nature of concepts. It then proceeds to expound James’s little known theory of concepts and universals, and concludes that, despite in...
متن کاملThe Nominalist Semantics of Ockham and Buridan
Some historical-philosophical preliminaries This paper is going to outline the innovative semantic theories of the two great 14century nominalist thinkers whose work eventually gave rise to the quasi-institutional separation of the nominalist via moderna, the “modern way”, from the realist via antiqua, “the old way” of doing logic, science, philosophy, and theology in the late Middle Ages. The ...
متن کاملOn the question of linguistic universals
This article offers a general discussion of the concept of universals in linguistics (and in general), spelling out different ways of understanding claims to universality and connecting such claims to other (often familiar) related distinctions, terminology and approaches such as competence and performance or I-language and E-language, evolutionary explanations, deep and surface universals, rat...
متن کاملOckham Efficiency Theorem for Random Empirical Methods
Ockham’s razor is the principle that, all other things being equal, rational scientists ought to prefer simpler theories to more complex ones. In recent years, philosophers have argued the simpler theories make better predictions, possess theoretical virtues like explanatory power, and have other pragmatic virtues like computational tractability. However, such arguments fail to explain why and ...
