La idea de que una filosofía la persona substancialista e individualista ha atravesado toda metafísica occidental y constituido un obstáculo para pensar comunión intersubjetividad, se convertido en lugar común del pensamiento contemporáneo. Se problematiza aquí esta perspectiva. sugiere sus distintas formulaciones, muy variadas, obedecieron a argumento similar, dependiente también fundamentos t...

We associate to a compact spin manifoldM a real-valued invariant τ(M) by taking the supremum over all conformal classes over the infimum inside each conformal class of the first positive Dirac eigenvalue, normalized to volume 1. This invariant is a spinorial analogue of Schoen’s σ-constant, also known as the smooth Yamabe number. We prove that if N is obtained fromM by surgery of codimension at...

Expert knowledge can often be represented using default rules of the form “if A then typically B”. In a probabilistic framework, such default rules can be seen as constraints on what should be derivable by MAP-inference. We exploit this idea for constructing a Markov logic networkM from a set of first-order default rules D, such that MAP inference fromM exactly corresponds to default reasoning ...

The point of the article is to analyse and reflect on certain symptoms of anorexia nervosa in light of Karl Jaspers and Erich Fromm's ideas and social constructivism. Contemplating the disorder in view of the philosophical ideas mentioned earlier, the author analyses such aspects of patients as: functioning on the verge of life and death, the paradoxical struggle to escape from freedom in searc...

while in Eq. ~42! of Ref. @1#, line 8 should be (w12w2 1w3) instead of (w12w21w3) . With these two changes, both equations are now invariant under interchange of the nonlinear parameters w1 and w3 , as is required by the symmetry of the electron interaction operator. Harris @2# has shown that the formulas of Remiddi are equivalent to the older, more general formulas of Fromm and Hill @3# in the...
