Limiting Cases of Impulsive Manipulation
Impulsive manipulation is the use of impulsive forces to manipulate objects. In particular, we are studying how tomanipulate a rigid planar slider by tapping. In this paper, we focus on the limiting case — where the number of taps approaches infinity as the energy of each tap approaches zero. This paper develops two definitions of the limiting case: for intermittent tapping, where the object co...
متن کاملModal Personhood and Moral Status: A Reply to Kagans Proposal
Kagan argues that human beings who are neither persons nor even potential persons — if their impairment is independent of genetic constitution — are modal persons: individuals who might have been persons. Moreover, he proposes a view according to which both (actual) personhood and modal personhood are sufficient for counting more, morally, than nonhuman animals. In response to this proposal, I ...
متن کاملScientific Representations as Limiting Cases
In this essay, I shall show first of all that the socalled inferential (Suárez 2003 and 2004) and interpretational (Contessa 2007) accounts of scientific representation are respectively unsatisfactory and too weak to account for scientific representation (pars destruens). Along the way, I shall also argue that the pragmatic similarity (Giere 2004 and 2010) and the partial isomorphism (da Costa ...
متن کاملSome Limiting Cases of the G-Transformation*
In this paper some new nonlinear transformations are introduced. They arise from considering the limit of the G-transformation as a particular parameter approaches its limiting value. The primary purpose of these transformations is to increase the rate of convergence of an improper integral. However, by introduction of an iteration method it is shown that they may also be used to produce approx...
متن کاملAuthentic Gettier cases: a reply to Starmans and Friedman.
Do laypeople and philosophers differ in their attributions of knowledge? Starmans and Friedman maintain that laypeople differ from philosophers in taking 'authentic evidence' Gettier cases to be cases of knowledge. Their reply helpfully clarifies the distinction between 'authentic evidence' and 'apparent evidence'. Using their sharpened presentation of this distinction, we contend that the argu...
