This paper fortifies and defends the so called Sufficiency Argument (SA) against Classical Invariantism. In Sect. 2, I explain the version of the SA formulated but then rejected by Brown (2008a). In Sect. 3, I show how cases described by Hawthorne (2004), Brown (2008b), and Lackey (forthcoming) threaten to undermine one or the other of the SA’s least secure premises. In Sect. 4, I buttress one ...

We will call such adjuncts instances of the X or no X construction It was suggested in the middle 1980s by Alexis Manaster-Ramer that well-formed instances of X or no X involve a string X of unbounded length preceding or no, with an exact copy following (for a brief allusion to it in print, see Manaster-Ramer 1986). This claim has received hardly any discussion at all in the subsequent literatu...

the argument of order is the most simple, common and affective argument in theism. due to its generality, or the wide range of the presenters and the addressees of this argument which almost cover all human beings, it has some inaccuracies in its explanation, understanding , and its main claim; this is to an extent that some improper doubts has been posed about it. professors motahhari and java...

Students use Facebook to organize their classroom experiences [1], but hardly to share and form opinions on subject matters. We explore the benefits of argument diagrams for the formation of scientific opinion on behaviorism in Facebook. We aim at raising awareness of opinion conflict and structuring the argumentation with scripts [2]. A lab study with University students (ten dyads per conditi...

Section 2 concerns the classification of G-vector bundles. The precise statement is: The equivalence classes of k-dimensional G-vector bundles over M” “ subordinate ” to Pare in a natural one-to-one correspondence with the equivariant homotopy classes of maps of M into Gk( V’), the grassmannian of k-planes in V’, if t > n + k. The existence of a classifying map is proved via a transversality ar...
