چکیده
Abstract I define two metaphysical positions that anti-physicalists can take in response to Jonathan Schaffer’s ground functionalism. Ground functionalism is a version of physicalism where explanatory gaps are everywhere. If true, arguments against based on the gap between physical and experiential facts fail. In response, first, argue some already safe from challenge. These reject an underlying assumption functionalism: macrophysical entities something over above fundamental entities. call their position “lightweight anti-physicalism.” Second, go even if accept assumption, they still consciousness especially mysterious thus requires special explanation. resulting “heavyweight both cases, good way physicalism.

Many ITP developments exist in the context of a single prover, and are dominated by proof effort. In contrast, when applying rigorous semantic techniques to realistic computer systems, engineering the definitions becomes a major activity in its own right. Proof is then only one task among many: testing, simulation, communication, community review, etc. Moreover, the effort invested in establish...

متن کاملDoes size matter? – Thermoregulation of ‘heavyweight’ and ‘lightweight’ wasps (Vespa crabro and Vespula sp.)
In insect groups with the ability of endothermy, the thermoregulatory capacity has a direct relation to body mass. To verify this relationship in vespine wasps, we compared the thermoregulation of hornets (Vespa crabro), the largest species of wasps in Central Europe, with two smaller wasps (Vespula vulgaris and Vespula germanica) in the entire range of ambient temperature (T(a): ~0-40°C) where...
