Conceptual analysis and x-phi
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper does two things. First, it argues for a metaphilosophical view of conceptual analysis questions; in particular, it argues that the facts that settle conceptual-analysis questions are facts about the linguistic intentions of ordinary folk. The second thing this paper does is argue that if this metaphilosophical view is correct, then experimental philosophy (or “x-phi”) is a legitimate methodology to use in trying to answer conceptual-analysis questions.

X-Phi and Carnapian Explication
The rise of experimental philosophy (x-phi) has placed metaphilosophical questions, particularly those concerning concepts, at the center of philosophical attention. X-phi offers empirically rigorous methods for identifying conceptual content, but what exactly it contributes towards evaluating conceptual content remains unclear. We show how x-phi complements Rudolf Carnap's underappreciated met...
متن کاملGlobal attractor for a nonlocal hyperbolic problem on ${mathcal{R}}^{N}$
We consider the quasilinear Kirchhoff's problem$$ u_{tt}-phi (x)||nabla u(t)||^{2}Delta u+f(u)=0 ,;; x in {mathcal{R}}^{N}, ;; t geq 0,$$with the initial conditions $ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)$ and $u_t(x,0) = u_1 (x)$, in the case where $N geq 3, ; f(u)=|u|^{a}u$ and $(phi (x))^{-1} in L^{N/2}({mathcal{R}}^{N})cap L^{infty}({mathcal{R}}^{N} )$ is a positive function. The purpose of our work is to ...
متن کاملNon-homogeneous continuous and discrete gradient systems: the quasi-convex case
In this paper, first we study the weak and strong convergence of solutions to the following first order nonhomogeneous gradient system $$begin{cases}-x'(t)=nablaphi(x(t))+f(t), text{a.e. on} (0,infty)\x(0)=x_0in Hend{cases}$$ to a critical point of $phi$, where $phi$ is a $C^1$ quasi-convex function on a real Hilbert space $H$ with ${rm Argmin}phineqvarnothing$ and $fin L^1(0...
متن کاملOn $Phi$-$tau$-quasinormal subgroups of finite groups
Let $tau$ be a subgroup functor and $H$ a $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$. Let $bar{G}=G/H_{G}$ and $bar{H}=H/H_{G}$. We say that $H$ is $Phi$-$tau$-quasinormal in $G$ if for some $S$-quasinormal subgroup $bar{T}$ of $bar{G}$ and some $tau$-subgroup $bar{S}$ of $bar{G}$ contained in $bar{H}$, $bar{H}bar{T}$ is $S$-quasinormal in $bar{G}$ and $bar{H}capbar{T}leq bar{S}Phi(bar{H})$. I...
متن کاملRenormalized Solutions for Strongly Nonlinear Elliptic Problems with Lower Order Terms and Measure Data in Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces
The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a renormalized solution of perturbed elliptic problems$ -operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)+Phi(u) Big)+ g(x,u,nabla u) = mumbox{ in }Omega, $ in the framework of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces without any restriction on the $M$ N-function of the Orlicz spaces, where $-operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)Big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator defined f...
