kant’s ethical theory is one the most important theories in philosophy of ethics, which has always attracted the attention of the commentators and critics. although it has many positive points, there are some objections to this theory just as to any other human theory. in this article, it is attempted to point out the critiques that seem to have been leveled against kant’s ethics. some of these...

The Principle of the Bene t of Doubt dictates that whenever reasonably possible we interpret earlier day scientists as referring to entities posited by current science Putnam has presented the principle as supplementary to his Causal Theory of Reference in order to make this theory generally applicable to scienti c terms The present paper argues that the principle is of doubtful standing In par...

We present a type-logical account of anaphora. The principal means is the introduction of type-constructors for`secondary wrap': wrap around the second of two split points in a discontinuous string. We illustrate in terms of preevaluated proof nets, proof nets in which lexico-syntactic interaction is computed in a lexical compilation rather than at the stage of derivation. We suggest that the a...

"Approximate counters" are realized by probabilistic algorithms that maintain an approximate count in the interval 1 to n using only about 10921092 n bits. The algorithmic principle was proposed by R . M o r r i s [7] : Starting with counter C = 1, after n increments C should contain a good approximation to log e n . Thus C should be increased by 1 after other n increments approximately. Since ...

In this paper, we introduce complex valued rectangular b-metric spaces. We prove an analogue of Banach contraction principle. We also prove a different contraction principle with a new condition and a fixed point theorem in this space. Finally, we give an application of Banach contraction principle to linear equations. c ©2015 All rights reserved.

Relativistic particle subjected to a general four-force is considered as a nonholonomic system. The nonholonomic constraint in fourdimensional space–time represents the relativistic invariance by the equation for four-velocity ulu + c = 0, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. In the general case, four-forces are non-potential, and the relativistic particle is a non-Hamiltonian system in fou...

this paper deals with the behavior at infinity of solutions to a class of wave equations with nonlinear dampingterms defined in a semi-infinite cylinder. the spatial behavior of solutions is studied and an alternative ofphragmén-lindelöf type theorems is obtained in the results. the main point in the contribution is the use of energy method.

The geometric maximum principle for smooth (spacelike) hypersurfaces, which is a consequence of Alexandrov’s [1] strong maximum for second order quasilinear elliptic operators, is a basic tool in Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry. In [2], extending earlier work of Eschenburg [7], a version of the geometric maximum principle in the Lorentzian setting was obtained for rough (C) spacelike hypersu...
