Toy models, dispositions, and the power to explain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Two recent contributions have discussed, and disagreed, over whether so-called toy models that attempt to represent dispositions the power explain. In this paper, I argue neither of these positions is completely correct. Toy may accurately represent, satisfy veridicality condition, yet fail provide how-actually explanations. This because some remain unmanifested. Instead, how-possibly explanations; they possibly

Designing a Framework to Explain the Professional Identity of Iranian Teachers Using a Power Relations Approach
Based on the grounds giving form to teachers' professional identity in Iran's educational system, the present study aims to provide a framework to portray, with a power-based approach, the various kinds of professional identity which can be perceived for Iranian teachers. For this purpose, narratives were collected and the discourses were analyzed, which led to different kinds of issues regard...
متن کاملToy Models for Retrocausality
A number of writers have been attracted to the idea that some of the peculiarities ofquantum theory might be manifestations of ‘backward’ or ‘retro’ causality, underlying thequantum description. This idea has been explored in the literature in two main ways:firstly in a variety of explicit models of quantum systems, and secondly at a concep-tual level. This note introduces a...

Lecture 2 ENSO toy models
Let us consider first a heuristic derivation of an equation for the sea surface temperature in the East Pacific, which will be followed by a more rigorous derivation in the following sections. Assume that the East Pacific SST affects the atmospheric heating and thus the central Pacific wind speed. The resulting wind stress, in turn, excites equatorial Kelvin and Rossby ocean waves. These waves ...
متن کاملDynamical chaos and power spectra in toy models of heteropolymers and proteins.
The dynamical chaos in Lennard-Jones toy models of heteropolymers is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that two nearby trajectories quickly diverge from each other if the heteropolymer corresponds to a random sequence. For good folders, on the other hand, two nearby trajectories may initially move apart but eventually they come together. Thus good folders are intrinsically ...
