Holism, Concept Individuation, and Conceptual Change
The paper discusses concept individuation in the context of scientific concepts and conceptual change in science. It is argued that some concepts can be individuated in different ways. A particular term may be viewed as corresponding to a single concept (which is ascribed to every person from a whole scientific field). But at the same time, we can legitimately individuate in a more fine grained...
متن کاملPhysics and Leibnizs Principles
Leibnizs principles made for an elegant and coherent philosophy. In part metaphysical, in part methodological, they addressed fundamental questions in the treatment of symmetry, in the relationship of physics to mathematics, in logic that are if anything even more pressing today than they were in Leibnizs time. As I shall read them, they also expressed a distinctive and uncompromising form of...
متن کاملEpistemological holism without linguistic holism
Epistemological holism is usually associated with linguistic holism, and sometimes the latter is inferred from the former. In this chapter I shall show how the view that the sense of a sentence be its immediate argumental role, though it conforms to the requirement of compositionality and hence involves a denial of linguistic holism, is perfectly compatible with epistemological holism. Thus, by...
متن کاملThe mirror mechanism: recent findings and perspectives.
Mirror neurons are a specific type of visuomotor neuron that discharge both when a monkey executes a motor act and when it observes a similar motor act performed by another individual. In this article, we review first the basic properties of these neurons. We then describe visual features recently investigated which indicate that, besides encoding the goal of motor acts, mirror neurons are modu...
متن کاملAverting economic collapse and the solipsism bias
We study the behavior of experimental subjects who have to make a sequence of risky investment decisions in the presence of network externalities. Subjects follow a simple heuristic—investing after positive experiences and reducing their propensity to invest after a failure. This result contrasts with the theoretical findings of Jeitschko and Taylor [Jeitschko, T.D., Taylor, C., 2001. Local dis...
