Our project aims at providing a philosophical analysis of questions. It surveys question-types for investigating whether questions can be categorized based on their identical and distinctive characters with/from each other. It can also be acknowledged as a first step towards an ontology of questions, although implementing a computational ontology is not among our current concerns. This project ...

Our research goal is to disambiguate demonstrative pronouns that/this, and the annotation project is undertaken with the intent to find surface features that can be used to strongly prefer/disprefer certain potential referents. Pragmatic differences between demonstrati...

A total of 172 tokens of Hitlos are identified in the data. They can be divided into six categories according to...

Although in the past three decades interest in mathematical explanation revived, recent literature on the subject seems to neglect the strict connection between explanation and discovery. In this paper I sketch an alternative approach that takes such connection into account. My approach is a revised version of one originally considered by Descartes. The main difference is that my approach is in...

All knowledge, from the most tentative guess to the most demonstrative certainty, is grounded on evidence; it is supported by data, credentials, warrants, and premises. The data are not them-selves evidence for that to which they attest; they must be interpreted to be evidence, to give some credibility to what they support. David Savan on C.S. Peirce (1980: 255) The whole of culture should be s...
