The Defective Armchair: A Reply to Tye
نویسنده
چکیده
Michael Tye’s response to my “Grain” (Block 2012) and “Windows” (Block 2013) raises general metaphilosophical issues about the value of intuitions and judgments about one’s perceptions and the relations of those intuitions and judgments to empirical research, as well as specific philosophical issues about the relation between seeing, attention and de re thought. I will argue that Tye’s appeal to what is (§. 2) “intuitively obvious, once we reflect upon these cases” (“intuition”) is problematic. I will also argue that first person judgments can be problematic when used on their own as Tye does but can be valuable when integrated with empirical results.

Density Functional Theory Studies of Defects in the (5,5) Silicon Nanotube
We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the properties of defect in arepresentative armchair model of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs). To this aim, the structures of pristine and defective(5,5) SiNTs have been optimized and the properties such as bond lengths, total energies, binding energies,.formation energies, gap energies, and dipole moments have been evaluat...
متن کاملTracking Intentionalism and Optimal Conditions: A Reply to Byrne and Tye
Like Alex Byrne and Michael Tye, I accept Intentionalism about visual experience. Therefore I agree with them that “qualia ain’t in the head”: roughly, to have a visual experience is to stand in a relation, the “awareness relation” or the “sensory representation relation”, to a cluster of properties outside the head (Pautz 2006, 27). My target in Pautz (2006) was the further claim, defended by ...
متن کاملAnisotropic bias dependent transport property of defective phosphorene layer
Phosphorene is receiving great research interests because of its peculiar physical properties. Nonetheless, no systematic studies on the transport properties modified due to defects have been performed. Here, we present the electronic band structure, defect formation energy and bias dependent transport property of various defective systems. We found that the defect formation energy is much less...
متن کاملRole of edges in the electronic and magnetic structures of nanographene
In graphene edges or nanographene, the presence of edges strongly affects the electronic structure depending on their edge shape (zigzag and armchair edges) as observed with the electron wave interference and the creation of non-bonding π -electron state (edge state). We investigate the edge-inherent electronic features and the magnetic properties of edge-sate spins in nanographene/graphene edg...
