Consider a sequence of outcomes of descending value, A > B > C > ... > Z. According to Larry Temkin, there are reasons to deny the continuity axiom in certain ‘extreme’ cases, i.e. cases of triplets of outcomes A, B and Z, where A and B differ little in value, but B and Z differ greatly. But, Temkin argues, if we assume continuity for ‘easy’ cases, i.e. cases where the loss is small, we can der...

In Rethinking the Good, Larry Temkin argues for a principle that he calls the Narrow PersonAffecting View. In its simplest formulation, this principle states that a first outcome can be better than a second outcome only if there is someone who fares better in the first outcome than in the second. Temkin argues that this kind of principle gives us reason to reject the Transitivity Thesis, accord...

The last few years have seen a number of new and important publications in moral theory. Arguably none more important than Larry S. Temkin’s Rethinking the Good: Moral Ideals and the Nature of Practical Reasoning. This fascinating work highlights and explores in depth a seemingly fundamental inconsistency in our own axiological beliefs. Put roughly, the inconsistency arises given our general wi...

It was with great pleasure and honour to accept the invitation to make a presentation a t the symposium celebrating the life-long work of Aaron Temkin and Richard Drachman. The work of Aaron Temkin was particularly influential on our own during the development of the CCC method for electron-atom collisions. There are a number of key problems that need to be dealt with when developing a general ...

This work reports the adsorption of strontium from aqueous solutions onto PAN/zeolite composite. The strontium adsorption on the composite adsorbent was studied as a function of initial strontium concentration, pH of the solution, contact time and temperature. Adsorption isotherms like Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Temkin were used to analyze the equilibrium data at the d...

In this article, adsorption of some amino acids and their complexation with lanthanum(III) ion on carbon nanotube (MWCNT) by using of three relations Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms was investigated. From this relations, Freudlich and Temkin relations predict good equilibrium diagram in isotherm condition. We could compute the theoretical constants by excel software. By considering th...

We have studied the interaction of Acetaminophen and Diclofenac solutions, on multi ncarbon nanotube. After investigated comparative study and assigned to either Acetaminophen or Diclofenac adsorption isotherms. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms were fitted by Freundlich, Langmuir, and Temkin models. It was found that the Temkin model described the adsorption process better than other two is...
