It is a remarkable fact that the doctrine of patent law generally coheres while the doctrine of copyright does not. Two features sharpen the contrast. First, the two laws perform the same function. People debate whether these regimes should strive for justice for creators or economic efficiency for consumers, but no partisan recommends one goal for patent and another for copyright. Indeed, the ...

One of the earliest decisions on this subject opines that the “all or nothing” rule provides a “blanket release from liability for doctors and hospitals any time there was less than a 50 percent chance of survival, regardless of how flagrant the negligence.”7 Another more recent decision notes that the “all or nothing” approach “fails to recognize the common sense proposition that a loss of cha...

Awareness of application performance can be derived through various quantitative analyses, model-based and measurement-based approaches. A suitable visualization supports the understanding of application performance. Usually, analysis tools include a tool specific visualization or no visualization at all. In this paper we proposed to decouple the result visualization from the analysis approach....

Many neuroscientists and philosophers endorse a view about the explanatory reach of neuroscience (which we will call the neuron doctrine) to the effect that the framework for understanding the mind will be developed by neuroscience; or, as we will put it, that a successful theory of the mind will be solely neuroscientific. It is a consequence of this view that the sciences of the mind that cann...

T h e theory of ideo-motor action has been for a generation one of the stock ”laws” of orthodox psychology. It is taught as almost axiomatic in standard treatises-is made the explanatory principle for phenomena of suggestion, hypnotism, obsessions and the like-and is used as the basis for recommended practices in education, psychiatry, religion-even in salesmanship and advertising. In spite of ...

I shall confine my attention to the one Scotist doctrine that seems to be singled out as especially worrisome, the doctrine of univocity. In the first part of the paper I argue that the doctrine of univocity is true. So even if the doctrine has unwelcome consequences, we ought to affirm it anyway; it is not the job of the theologian or philosopher to shrink from uncomfortable truths. In the sec...

Controlling blocks of stock generally command a premium. Current doctrine allows controlling shareholders to sell without sharing this control premium in most, but not all, circumstances. The two dominant schools of academic thought on sales of control agree on one point: this current doctrine is wrong. Under one school of thought, the equal sharing school, noncontrolling shareholders should al...

Lawvere theories provide a categorical formulation of the algebraic theories from universal algebra. Freyd categories are categorical models of first-order effectful programming languages. The notion of sound limit doctrine has been used to classify accessible categories. We provide a definition of Lawvere theory that is enriched in a closed category that is locally presentable with respect to ...

According to the common view of Jung as the rebellious crown prince of psychoanalysis, his doctrine of the archetypes appears, at worst, a lightheaded fascination with occultism or, at best, a way to overcome the historical and personalistic reductionism of the Freudian doctrine of sexual stages. Against the background of German thought and East-of-the-Rhine psychiatric interests, one is inclin...
