More on formal feeling/form-feeling in language sciences. Heinrich Gomperz’s concept of “formal logical feeling” (logisches Formalgefühl) revisited

Logical Scaling in Formal Concept Analysis

Logical scaling is a new method to transform data matrices which are based on object-attribute-value-relationships into data matrices from which conceptual hierarchies can be explored. The derivation of concept lattices is determined by terminologies expressed in a formal-logical language.

A Logical Generalization of Formal Concept Analysis

We propose a generalization of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) in which sets of attributes are replaced by expressions of an almost arbitrary logic. We prove that all FCA can be reconstructed on this basis. We show that from any logic that is used in place of sets of attributes can be derived a contextualized logic that takes into account the formal context and that is isomorphic to the concept l...

Arbitrary Relations in Formal Concept Analysis and Logical Information Systems

A logical view of formal concept analysis considers attributes of a formal context as unary predicates. In a first part, we propose an augmented definition that handles binary relations between objects. A Galois connection is defined on augmented contexts. It represents concept inheritance as usual, but also relations between concepts. As usual, labeling operators are also defined. In particula...

What feeling is the "feeling of knowing?".

Having a word on the tip of our tongue is a mundane and slightly annoying experience. And yet, as Brown’s article helps us see, the theoretical implications of a TOT experience range very widely. The study of TOTs may also turn out to be useful for larger methodological reasons. Here, too, Brown recognizes that the investigation of TOTs offers an especially good example of convergent cognitive ...
