On the possible psychophysical laws.
This paper is concerned with the centurv-old effort to determine the functiinal relations that hold between subjective continua and the physical continua that are presumed to underlie them. The first, and easily the most influential, attempt to specify the possible relations was made by Fechner. It rests upon empirical knowledge of how discrimination varies with intensity along the physical con...
متن کاملNoa Latham Davidson and Kim on Psychophysical Laws
Nearly 30 years have passed since Donald Davidson first presented his argument against the possibility of psychophysical laws in “Mental Events”. The argument applies to intentional rather than phenomenal properties, so whenever I refer to mental properties and to psychophysical laws it should be understood that I mean intentional properties and laws relating them to physical properties. No con...
متن کاملComments on Rozeboom's Criticisms of Possible Psychophysical Laws "
The publication of Rozeboom's (1962) criticisms of my paper concerning limitations on scientific laws of certain types (Luce, 1959), together with what we both feel are misinterpretations and misleading uses of those results, prompt me to attempt to clarify some of the issues. At the outset, let me admit that much of the confusion is my fault, due in part to an inadequate understanding of the p...
متن کاملFundamental Symmetries and Conservation Laws
I discuss recent progress in low-energy tests of symmetries and conservation laws, including parity nonconservation in atoms and nuclei, electric dipole moment tests of time-reversal invariance, β-decay correlation studies, and decays violating separate (family) and total lepton number.
متن کاملStatus of the Fundamental Laws of Thermodynamics
We describe recent progress towards deriving the Fundamental Laws of thermodynamics (the 0, 1, and 2 Law) from nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics in simple, yet physically relevant models. Along the way, we clarify some basic thermodynamic notions and discuss various reversible and irreversible thermodynamic processes from the point of view of quantum statistical mechanics.
