bourdieu had the help of two concepts of “habitus” and “field” to explain his theory and to show social distinctions, he argues that the social world is made up of different fields. each field has its own certain habitus and they can change depending on the field`s change. he believes that modern world is based on distinction. this distinction is clear in structural concepts such as space, clas...

In an experimental critique of the moral/conventional (M/C) distinction, Kelly et al. (2007) present new experimental data about responses to transgressions involving harm, where the novelty is that transgressors are grown-ups, rather than children. Their data do not support the moral/conventional distinction. The contrast between grown-up and schoolyard transgressions does not seem, however, t...

Aspects of utterance meaning It is widely accepted within pragmatics that there is a distinction to be made between the explicit content and the implicit import of an utterance. There is much less agreement about the precise nature of this distinction, how it is to be drawn, and whether any such two-way distinction can do justice to the levels and kinds of meaning involved in utterance interpre...

1.Puzzle According to a standard view in contemporary metaphysics, there are no necessary connections between distinct properties. But according to a standard view in philosophy of mind there are necessary connections between distinct properties. In short, we have a puzzle: standard metaphysics inconsistent with standard philosophy of mind. By ‘a standard view in contemporary metaphysics’ I mea...

We analyzed population trends from a constant-effort mist-netting study conducted in central coastal California during the autumns of 1979–1999. Of 31 taxa captured in sufficient numbers, 16 underwent statistically significant declines and none increased. Twice as many species declined from 1989–1999 as compared to 1979–1989. Overall, our results were similar to those of regional Breeding Bird ...

Reservoir integrity stewardship accompanying carbon capture and sequestration considers fluid extraction reinjection as a risk-mitigating method against overpressuring that could lead to caprock damage ensuing [Formula: see text] leakage. Crosswell electromagnetics offers technically viable monitoring with the spatial volume coverage necessary for reservoir-encompassing pressure management. How...

In any system for Natural Language Processing having a dictionary, the question arises as to whiclh entries are included in it. In this paper, I address the subquestion as to whether a lexical unit having two senses should be considered ambiguous or vague with respect to them. The inadequacy of some common strategies to answer this question in Machine Translation (MT) systems is shown. From a s...

How many distinctions, in Latin, quantum distinctiones. We suggest approach of anthropic principle based on anthropic reference system which should be applied equally both in theoretical physics and in mathematics. We come to principle that within reference system of life subject of mathematics (that of thinking) should be equated with subject of physics (that of nature). For this reason we ent...
