Causal perspectivalism∗
As objects go, foreigners are a pretty respectable bunch. They’re not figments of our collective imagination, or social constructions, or useful fictions. They’re not mind-dependent, and they don’t disappear when we don’t keep an eye on them. Our ‘folk theory’ about foreigners isn’t subject to some global error, and the term ‘foreigner’ certainly manages to refer. Some of our beliefs about fore...
متن کاملAgainst Structuralist Theories of Computational Implementation
Under what conditions does a physical system implement or realize a computation? Structuralism about computational implementation, espoused by Chalmers and others, holds that a physical system realizes a computation just in the case the system instantiates a pattern of causal organization isomorphic to the computation‟s formal structure. I argue against structuralism through counter-examples dr...
متن کاملHow do causes depend on us? The many faces of perspectivalism
Huw Price has argued that on an interventionist account of cause the dis1 tinction is perspectival, and the claim prompted some interesting responses from 2 interventionists and in particular an exchange with Woodward that raises questions 3 about what it means to say that one or another structure is perspectival. I’ll introduce 4 his reasons for claiming that the distinction between cause and ...
متن کاملProgress in computational approach to drug development against SARS.
Since the outbreak of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in November 2002 in Southern China's Guangdong Province, considerable progress has been made in the development of drugs for SARS therapy. The present mini review is focused on the area of computer-aided drug discovery, i.e., the advances achieved mainly from the approaches of structural bioinformatics, pharmacophore modeling, molec...
متن کاملGrand Challenge: Computational Models Validated Against Critical Experiments
There are many areas in biomechanics that could be considered a “Grand Challenge,” I have selected, as a Grand Challenge, the development of computational models of biomechanical systems from the sub-cellular level to the whole body that have been properly validated against critical experiments. The types of models can be best shown in a table that lists the anatomies and the processes that are...
