Diversity and Unity of Modularity
Since the publication of Fodor's (1983) The Modularity of Mind, there have been quite a few discussions of cognitive modularity among cognitive scientists. Generally, in those discussions, modularity means a property of specialized cognitive processes or a domain-specific body of information. In actuality, scholars understand modularity in many different ways. Different characterizations of mod...

The current backlash against multiculturalism rests on both its perceived negative effects for immigrants’ socioeconomic integration and its failure to encourage civic and political cohesion. I offer a brief review of multiculturalism as ...
متن کاملQuantum Groups at Roots of Unity and Modularity
For each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group and each integer level we construct a modular tensor category from a quotient of a certain subcategory of the category of representations of the corresponding quantum group. We determine when at fractional levels the corresponding category is modular. We also give a quantum version of the Racah formula for the decomposition of the tensor prod...
متن کاملOntological Modularity and Spatial Diversity
In this paper we propose that adequate treatments of space need to be multiperspectival and related to sound foundational ontologies. To support this, we show that natural spatial descriptions commonly appeal to diverse theories of space and these need to be formally combined to be fully interpreted. Our account draws particularly on the foundational ontology DOLCE and the algebraic specificati...

The total number in greater Europe between Lisbon and the Urals must approach six figures. The geographic and political map of the continent has radically changed during the last year and it is likely that colleagues working in...
