Thomas Reid on Singular Thought
In my dissertation, I offer a new reading of Thomas Reid's philosophy of mind, in which I bring attention to his so far overlooked view that we can entertain a singular thought about an individual substance – we can think directly about a particular object.

According to Chierchia 1998, languages where nouns are marked for number and definiteness are not expected to have bare singular nouns which denote kinds. Hebrew has such examples, so far unnoted, yet the present paper shows it can be accomodated within a semantic typology. I disagree with Schmitt and Munn 1999, who conclude on the basis of similar examples in Brazilian Portuguese that they ref...
متن کاملFast Singular Value Thresholding without Singular Value Decomposition
Singular value thresholding (SVT) is a basic subroutine in many popular numerical schemes for solving nuclear norm minimization that arises from low-rank matrix recovery problems such as matrix completion. The conventional approach for SVT is first to find the singular value decomposition (SVD) and then to shrink the singular values. However, such an approach is time-consuming under some circum...
متن کاملNon-singular Gravity without Black Holes Non-singular Gravity without Black Holes
Canada " What are the everywhere regular solutions of these field equations? " Abstract A non-singular static spherically symmetric solution of the nonsymmetric gravita-tional and electromagnetic theory (NGET) field equations is derived, which depends on the four parameters m, ℓ 2 , Q and s, where m is the mass, Q is the electric charge, ℓ 2 is the NGT charge of a body and s is a dimensionless ...
