Some Critical Remarks on Incompatibility Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his fifth Locke Lecture (2006)1 Robert Brandom has presented a new type of semantics for propositional classical and modal logic (‘incompatibility semantics’) that is embedded in his quite general programme (‘inferential pragmatism’) addressing major challenges to analytic philosophy. Inferential pragmatism is an important, comprehensive, and widely discussed contribution to contemporary philosophy. This is not the place to comment on this programme in general. Rather, we want to draw attention to a particular problem with the semantic framework suggested by Brandom, arising from a misinterpretation of an allegedly central technical result. This misunderstanding has strong repercussions on the philosophical significance of incompatibility semantics. The main features that Brandom ascribes to his incompatibility semantics can be briefly summarized as follows:

Critical Remarks on “Mystical Aesthetics” The Case of Persian Painting
There are several texts pertaining to Perisian painting which explain its aesthetics on the basis of mysticism and the notion of imaginal world. This point of view bears some methodological problems. Some of the prominent scholars (Corbin, Burckhardt, Nasr, Ringgenberg et al.) refering to Ibn ‘Arabi’s mystical notions, have tried to show that the specific aesthetics o...

متن کاملSOME REMARKS ON ALMOST UNISERIAL RINGS AND MODULES
In this paper we study almost uniserial rings and modules. An R−module M is called almost uniserial if any two nonisomorphic submodules are linearly ordered by inclusion. A ring R is an almost left uniserial ring if R_R is almost uniserial. We give some necessary and sufficient condition for an Artinian ring to be almost left uniserial.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and Mbe a unitary R-module. In this paper we generalize the conceptmultiplicatively closed subset of R and we study some propertiesof these genaralized subsets of M. Among the many results in thispaper, we generalize some well-known theorems about multiplicativelyclosed subsets of R to these generalized subsets of M. Alsowe show that some other well-kno...
متن کاملSome remarks on generalizations of classical prime submodules
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. Suppose that $phi:S(M)rightarrow S(M)cup lbraceemptysetrbrace$ be a function where $S(M)$ is the set of all submodules of $M$. A proper submodule $N$ of $M$ is called an $(n-1, n)$-$phi$-classical prime submodule, if whenever $r_{1},ldots,r_{n-1}in R$ and $min M$ with $r_{1}ldots r_{n-1}min Nsetminusphi(N)$, then $r_{1...
