Newton’s Bucket Experiment from Kantian Perspective

On the Possibility of Measuring Freedom: A Kantian Perspective

More than three decades after Sen‟s first formulation of the so-called “capability approach”, practitioners have yet to measure a capability set. This raises fundamental questions about the empirical viability of Sen‟s approach. In this paper, we argue that Kantian philosophy may offer valuable insights into how to deal with this problem, as the methodological difficulty which has hampered the ...

The embodied transcendental: a Kantian perspective on neurophenomenology

Neurophenomenology is a research programme aimed at bridging the explanatory gap between first-person subjective experience and neurophysiological third-person data, through an embodied and enactive approach to the biology of consciousness. The present proposal attempts to further characterize the bodily basis of the mind by adopting a naturalistic view of the phenomenological concept of intent...

From data to phenomena: a Kantian stance

This paper investigates some metaphysical and epistemological assumptions behind Bogen and Woodward’s data-to-phenomena inferences. I raise a series of points and suggest an alternative possible Kantian stance about data-to-phenomena inferences. I clarify the nature of the suggested Kantian stance by contrasting it with McAllister’s view about phenomena as patterns in data sets.

Computational Proof as Experiment: Probabilistic Algorithms from a Thermodynamic Perspective

A novel framework for the design and analysis of energy-aware algorithms is presented, centered around a deterministic Bit-level (Boltzmann) Random Access Machine or BRAM model of computing, as well its probabilistic counterpart, the RABRAM . Using this framework, it is shown for the first time that probabilistic algorithms can asymptotically yield savings in the energy consumed, over their det...
