Laws are conditionals
The ubiquitous schema ‘All Fs are Gs’ dominates much philosophical discussion on laws but rarely is it shown how actual laws mentioned and used in science are supposed to fit it. After consideration of a variety of laws, including those obviously conditional and those superficially not conditional (such as equations), I argue that we have good reason to support the traditional interpretation of...
متن کاملConditionals and Independence in Many-Valued Logics
Events and possible worlds from physical systems States and observables of physical systems provide a very general source of continuously valued events and possible worlds. Let be a “physical system”. Following [6, pp.362–369], a rigorous account of is given by its associated C -algebra , with the set sa of selfadjoint elements, and the set sa of real-valued normalized positive linear functiona...
متن کاملDependence and Independence
We introduce an atomic formula y ⊥ x z intuitively saying that the variables y are independent from the variables z if the variables x are kept constant. We contrast this with dependence logic D based on the atomic formula =( x, y), actually equivalent to y ⊥ x y, saying that the variables y are totally determined by the variables x. We show that y ⊥ x z gives rise to a natural logic capable of...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Dependence, Independence, and Incomplete Information
Dependence logic, introduced by Väänänen, is the extension of first-order logic by atomic statements about (functional) dependencies of variables. An important feature of this logic is a model-theoretic semantics that, contrary to Tarski semantics, is not based on single assignments (mapping variables to elements of a structure) but on sets of assignments. Sets of assignments are called teams a...
