Locke's Universal Triangle: Its Undeserved Fame
نویسنده
چکیده
What Locke devotes in his Essay to the topic of individuals and universals, and to abstraction as a way that leads from the former to the latter (II, 11, sections 9, 10, 11; II, 32, sections 7, 8; III, 3) is a watered down version of scholastic textbooks. One starts with a relation of similitude among individuals (III, 3, 13), one performs a leaving out and a retaining of features in the given individuals (III, 3, 7). Surprising is Locke's arrogance in claiming that he has found the solution of the "mystery of genera and species" (III, 3, 9).

Yet for Locke, this was no mere hobby: questions concerning measurement were also implicated in his ongoing philosophical project to develop an account of human understanding. This paper follows Locke's treatment of four problems of measurement from the early Drafts A and B of the Essay...

متن کاملUniversal Unitarity Triangle and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
We make the simple observation that there exists a universal unitarity triangle for all models, like the SM, the Two Higgs Doublet Models I and II and the MSSM with minimal flavour violation, that do not have any new operators beyond those present in the SM and in which all flavour changing transitions are governed by the CKM matrix with no new phases beyond the CKM phase. This universal triang...
متن کاملInvariant measures and homogeneous uncountable universal graphs
We describe the set of all invariant measures on the spaces of universal countable graphs and on the spaces of universal countable triangles-free graphs. The construction uses the description of the S∞-invariant measure on the space of infinite matrices in terms of measurable function of two variables on some special space. In its turn that space is nothing more than the universal continuous (B...
