one of the important issues in the humanities in general and in religious studies in particular is the comprehension of the meaning of the text. dealing with the theoretical bases of interpretation and comprehension of the text, hermeneutics is a branch of the humanities which fully serves this objective. the same objective is likewise followed in the study of the principles of jurisprudence (u...

Dorothy Sayers's analogy between cows and facts hides both a philosophical and a methodological point. Since both will guide us. throughout this essay, I will begin by discussing each at some length. The· philosophical point is that facts are not something we can take for granted or think of as the solid rock upon which knowledge h built. Their nature is problematic so much so that confrontatio...

A data modeler, when faced with different interpretations of a given reality within an organization, may opt to create a standard model for the whole company (the Newspeak solution). On the other hand, allowing multiple, and sometimes incompatible, models to coexist may lead to what some researchers call the Tower of Babel problem. The clash between these two possibilities creates a fundamental...

Subjective Probability: The Real Thing is the last book written by the late Richard Jeffrey, a key proponent of the Bayesian interpretation of probability. Bayesians hold that probability is a mental notion: saying that the probability of rain is 0.7 is just saying that you believe it will rain to degree 0.7. Degrees of belief are themselves cashed out in terms of bets— in this case you conside...

Early pioneers of the scientific revolution, including Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, expressed an initial interest in the nature of physical objects most far removed from human subjectivity: such issues as the relative motions of the sun...

The FLoating Instrument Platform ( FLIP ), a seagoing vessel managed by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in La Jolla, California, offers an unorthodox vantage point on sea. In its horizontal conformation, travels like ordinary oceangoing craft. But “flipping” 90 degrees into vertical position once it arrives at destination—with all furniture and instrumentation inside swiveling correspo...

The aim of this study is to bring to light and make clear the characteristic equivoque Pavlov made when he conceived the neurophysiological circuit involved in conditioned behavior as if this circuit contained or reduced, in its own terms, such behavior. I also wish to point out how this interpretation implies a distorted concept of the relationships between neurophysiology and behavior. As an ...

Pavlov made when he conceived the neurophysiological circuit involved in conditioned behavior as if this circuit contained or reduced, in its own terms, such behavior. I also wish to point out how this interpretation implies a distorted concept of the relationships between neurophysiology and behavior. As an alternative, it is proposed that behavior, which is always operant behavior, is not at ...
