Visual and verbal self-portraiture / Se donner à voir, se donner à lire

Matt Donner 12 June 2011

This paper is an inquiry into the largely unexamined analysis of arguments by analogy (ABA). By exposing the degree of philosophical complexity, which ultimately renders evaluation of ABA subjective, we shall see that the most appropriate doxastic attitude to adopt, with respect to the conclusions drawn from these arguments, is often suspension of judgment. A critical examination of Copi’s crit...

Donner corps aux interactions (l’interaction enfin concrétisée)

Since several years, we use in our team the IODA methodology to describe and realize multi-agent simulations. This method is original and not similar to the others because it makes Interactions becoming concrete and then able to become sufficiently general to be reused in many contexts. The aim of this paper is to identify some hard problems in this kind of simulation and to show how IODA can b...

Se Faire Voir with Jung and the Ethics of Psychoanalysis

This article is an important addition to my previous work of integrating Jungian and Lacanian psychoanalysis (see Complexes Tickling the $ubject). A main focus of this article is to use Zizek’s interpretation of Lacan’s writing on desire and drive in relation to my Heideggerian interpretation of Jung. As a result, this article is an important contribution to the literature because it shows the ...

Visual reaction time to grating onset: reply to Donner and Fagerholm

In their 2002 paper Vassilev, Mihaylova and Bonnet studied the interaction of stimulus spatial frequency (SF), contrast and duration on reaction time (RT) and latency of visual evoked potentials. They checked the finding of Saleh and Bonnet (1998) that RTs to gratings of various SF and contrast converge on a single Pi eron function if plotted against the product of grating contrast and period. ...
