Conceptual analyses can be subdivided into two classes, good and evil. Empirical analysis is the good kind, routinely practiced in the sciences. Orthodox analysis is the malevolent version that plagues philosophical discourse. In this paper, I will clarify the difference between them, provide some reasons to prefer good over evil, and illustrate their consequences for the metaphysics of causati...

ment " make fascinating reading. The author expressly disclaims that his method is meant to supersede orthodox psychoanalysis: it is rather a complementary approach which touches upon the patient's adjustment to social realities in a way which the privacy of the individual analytic procedure inevitably misses. The method employs, in a group setting, the same " tools "? free association, underst...

With single-electron tunneling (SET) technology it is possible to build electronic circuits with extreme low power properties. These SET circuits must therefore operate in the single electronics (current) regime. To simulate SET circuits in this regime, a SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) model has been written In contrast to, the prescriptions in the so-called Orthodo...

Whereas orthodox game theory relies on the unrealistic assumption of (commonly known) perfect rationality, the participants in game-playing experiments are, at best, rational only within limits. This makes it necessary to supplement orthodox game theory with a behavioral theory of game playing. This contribution first points out that this applies also to (one person-) decision theory. After rev...

Formally, the orthodox rational agent’s “Olympian” choices, as Simon has called orthodox rational choice, are made in a static framework. However, a formalization of consistent choice, underpinned by computability, suggests by, satisficing in a boundedly rational framework is not only more general than the model of “Olympian” rationality, it is also consistently dynamic. This kind of naturally ...

Neume musical notation is a type of writing of Christian Orthodox Church chant originated in Ancient Byzantium, which is still used by the Orthodox Church. The big varieties of preserved historical documents, which contain neumes give reach material for investigations in fields like history, cultural sciences, etc. This causes the natural need of a software package which can help these investig...

Fibreoptic orotracheal intubation was compared with orthodox laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation using a total i.v. technique with propofol in 60 ASA I and II patients. There was no significant difference between the two techniques in haemodynamic profile (before, during and following the intubation procedure) and incidence of postoperative sore throat. Minimal oxygen saturation was 96% during...

I argue against the orthodox view of the relationship between propositional and doxastic justification. The view under criticism is: if p is propositionally justified for S in virtue of S’s having reason(s) R, and S believes p on the basis of R, then S’s belief that p is doxastically justified. I then propose and evaluate alternative accounts of the relationship between propositional and doxast...
