In what follows, I strive to present the elements of a philosophical doctrine, which can be defined as dialectical contextualism. I proceed first to define the elements of this doctrine: dualities and polar contraries, the principle of dialectical indifference and the one-sidedness bias. I emphasize then the special importance of this doctrine in one specific field of meta-philosophy: the metho...

Among the abundance of generalizations of abstract argumentation frameworks, the formalism of abstract dialectical frameworks (ADFs) proved to be powerful in modelling various argumentation problems. Implementations of reasoning tasks that come within ADFs struggle with their high computational complexity. Thus methods simplifying the evaluation process are required. One such method is splittin...

We introduce a decomposition scheme for abstract dialectical frameworks (ADFs). The decomposition proceeds along the ADF’s strongly connected components. For several semantics, the decomposition-based version coincides with the original semantics. For others, the scheme defines new semantics. These new semantics allow us to deal with pertinent problems such as odd-length negative cycles in a mo...

Individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) tend to have a significant degree of functional impairment across a range of social and occupational spheres including difficulty finding and maintaining satisfying employment, housing, or relationships. Understanding what factors are associated with functional impairment will enable treatment providers to move those diagnosed wit...

Edward Bond asserts that art is significant because it made up of a constant dialectic variation in which every idea subject to criticism. does not argue utopian work resolves actual conflicts fictitious setting; rather, he emphasises exposes these issues concrete way its internal structure and reflects the need for new different existence. The aim this paper demonstrate how Bond, one most prom...

OBJECTIVE The authors examined three yearlong outpatient treatments for borderline personality disorder: dialectical behavior therapy, transference-focused psychotherapy, and a dynamic supportive treatment. METHOD Ninety patients who were diagnosed with borderline personality disorder were randomly assigned to transference-focused psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or supportive tre...

Backgroud: Anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive emotional responses that generate major disturbances, causing cognitive and behavioral changes triggering somatic manifestations. Therapeutic interventions show relevance significant results for the treatment of anxiety. Aim: To identify therapeutic used in anxiety disorders. Method: A search publications indexed three electronic datab...

Defeasible argumentation has experienced a considerable growth in AI in the last decade. Theoretical results have been combined with development of practical applications in AI & Law, CaseBased Reasoning and various knowledge-based systems. However, the dialectical process associated with inference is computationally expensive. This paper focuses on speeding up this inference process by pruning...
