Sartre’s Theory of Character
Various ethical theories recommend developing a morally sound character, and therefore require an understanding of the nature and development of traits. Philosophers usually accept the Aristotelian view that traits are a combination of habit and insight. Sartre’s early work offers an alternative: traits consist in projects. One aim of this paper is to show that this is indeed Sartre’s view, by ...
متن کامل“ Nonlocal character of quantum theory ”
There has been considerable discussion of the claim by Stapp [1] that quantum theory is incompatible with locality. In this note I analyze the meaning of some of the statements used in this discussion.
متن کاملNonlocal character of quantum theory?
In a recent article under the above title (but without the question mark) Henry Stapp presented arguments which lead him to conclude that under suitable conditions “the truth of a statement that refers only to phenomena confined to an earlier time” must “depend on which measurement an experimenter freely chooses to perform at a later time.” I point out that the reasoning leading to this conclus...
متن کاملCharacter Theory and Group Rings
While we were graduate students, Marty Isaacs and I worked together on the character theory of finite groups, studying in particular the character degrees of finite p-groups. Somewhat later, my interests turned to ring theory and infinite group theory. On the other hand, Marty continued with character theory and soon became a leader in the field. Indeed, he has had a superb career as a research...
متن کاملGroup Representations and Character Theory
In this paper, we provide an introduction to the representation theory of finite groups. We begin by defining representations, G-linear maps, and other essential concepts before moving quickly towards initial results on irreducibility and Schur’s Lemma. We then consider characters, class functions, and show that the character of a representation uniquely determines it up to isomorphism. Orthogo...
