some arguments against infinite regress in islamic philosophy such as applied proof or argument of ones and thousands are based on the mathematical foundations and preliminaries. extraction and analysis of these preliminaries exposes mathematical nature of these arguments and shows that besides philosophical approach to these arguments should also look at them from perspective of mathematics. a...

in this research azeri negative sentences are scrutinized with a focus on negative concord item (nci) s. linguists such asenç (1998), kornfilt (1997) and progovac (2005) assert that turkish and azeri lack negative concord item but we put forward a claim in the contrary. our purpose is to prove the existence of nci in azeri turkic. this paper includes an introduction to negative markers and spec...

Negative absolute temperatures were introduced into experimental physics by Purcell and Pound, who successfully applied this concept to nuclear spins; nevertheless the concept has proved controversial : a recent article aroused considerable interest by its claim, based on a classical entropy formula (the ‘volume entropy’) due to Gibbs, that negative temperatures violated basic principles of sta...

Background: Health-related quality of life is a frequently assessed patient-reported outcome in the current literature on patients living with atrial fibrillation. Originally, quality of life is an abstract, complex concept, and there is no consensus on a final definition of it. Considering overall quality of life to be assessable using a standardised tool may lead to the loss of valuable knowl...

Even if we don’t like it, we often face counterexamples to the inferences we have made or would like to make. With the exception of the SimProb model (Blok, Medin & Osherson, 2007), models of inductions to date have predominantly focused on the relevance of positive evidence to the inference process. Here we provide data from single and double premise arguments in a category-based property indu...

In this note I would like to approach the question posed in the title, and in the literature, from a purely consequentialist perspective. In other words, I want to ask, would treating extreme poverty as a violation of human rights actually lead to a reduction in poverty, or at least lead to the conditions which would in turn lead to a reduction in poverty? This is not to minimize or deny the im...
