Behind, Between, and Beyond Anthropomorphic Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The plurality of models of ultimate reality is a central problem for religious philosophy. This essay sketches what is involved in mounting comparative inquiries across the plurality of models. In order to illustrate what advance would look like in such a comparative inquiry, an argument is presented to show that highly anthropomorphic models of ultimate reality are inferior to a number of competitors. This paper was delivered as a keynote address during the APA Pacific 2007 Mini-Conference on Models of God.

متن کاملA Monte Carlo based method to estimate radiation dose from multidetector CT (MDCT): cylindrical and anthropomorphic phantoms.
The purpose of this work was to extend the verification of Monte Carlo based methods for estimating radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) exams beyond a single CT scanner to a multidetector CT (MDCT) scanner, and from cylindrical CTDI phantom measurements to both cylindrical and physical anthropomorphic phantoms. Both cylindrical and physical anthropomorphic phantoms were scanned on an MDC...
متن کاملBeyond the Turing Test ( Extended , original internal report )
We define the main factor of intelligence as the ability to comprehend, formalising this ability with the help of new constructs based on descriptional complexity. The result is a comprehension test, or C-test, exclusively defined in terms of universal descriptional machines (e.g universal Turing machines). Despite the absolute and non-anthropomorphic character of the test it is equally applica...
متن کاملA study of the influential factors affecting the slopes of deposited sediments behind the porous check dams and model development for prediction
Abstract Spacing between check dams depends on the stream bed slope, effective height of check dams and slope of deposited sediments behind the check dams. The slope of deposited sediments is more important than the other two factors because of complications in the way of its occurrence and its measurement after several years of dam construction. This research presents the effective factors a...
متن کاملDigiMech Learning Environments: supporting social awareness in a community of humans, virtual humans and anthropomorphic robots
Recent technological developments have opened new perspectives for the cooperation between human learners, virtual humans and anthropomorphic robots, especially in an augmented virtual reality continuum. This kind of learning environments can be defined as DigiMech Learning Environments (DMLE). The richness and variety of users’ possible interactions in such environments go far beyond the simpl...
