Semantic Perversity
This paper consists of two parts. In section I, I explore Christopher Hookway’s proposal (1988) to elude a counter-example which Gareth Evans [Evans (1975)] offers against Quine’s Thesis of the Inscrutability of Reference. Evans produced a line of argument which suggests that one of Quine’s semantically perverse translation manuals is behaviourally incorrect. Hookway modifies the perverse manua...
متن کاملThe Futility of DNSSec
The lack of data authentication and integrity guarantees in the Domain Name System (DNS) facilitates a wide variety of malicious activity on the Internet today. DNSSec, a set of cryptographic extensions to DNS, has been proposed to address these threats.

Next, the question is raised whether paedophile activities can ever be morally permissible. Using t...
متن کاملThe utility of futility.
See related article, pages 2410–2414. In this issue, Palesch et al 1 discuss the single-arm, phase II futility study design and illustrate how its use might have avoided 3 large (and costly) but negative phase III therapeutic trials for ischemic stroke patients. The authors offer strong arguments to support their conclusion that use of this design as a strategy in phase II development “could pe...
