Review of Murray Clarke’s Reconstructing Reason and Representation
Reconstructing reason and representation is a no small ambition. Is Clarke up to it? His basic theoretical postulate is the massive modularity hypothesis, one of the Founding Articles of High Church Evolutionary Psychology (hereafter EP). Clarke defends the massive modularity hypothesis against its critics – well, to be precise, against Jerry Fodor. Fodor’s main argument is that cognitive modul...
متن کاملReconstructing De Gaulle
Over two thousand books and articles make a very good point: Charles de Gaulle based his domestic and foreign policies on a fundamental, unchanging vision of France’s geopolitical position in the world. Andrew Moravcsik summarily dismisses this literature for its “tendency to engage in imaginative biographical reconstruction” and argues instead that “the overwhelming preponderance of direct evi...
متن کاملReconstructing Integer Sets From Their Representation Functions
We give a simple common proof to recent results by Dombi and by Chen and Wang concerning the number of representations of an integer in the form a1 + a2, where a1 and a2 are elements of a given infinite set of integers. Considering the similar problem for differences, we show that there exists a partition N = ∪k=1Ak of the set of positive integers such that each Ak is a perfect difference set (...
متن کاملReconstructing an image from its edge representation
In this paper, we show that a new edge detection scheme developed from the notion of transition in nonlinear physics, associated with the precise computation of its quantitative parameters (most notably singularity exponents) provide enhanced performances in terms of reconstruction of the whole image from its edge representation; moreover it is naturally robust to noise. The study of biological...
متن کاملPrécis of Objects and Persons
There are no statues or chairs or rocks or planets. But there are microscopic objects. Let’s call them—whatever they may turn out to be—‘atoms’. And although there are no statues, there are atoms “arranged statuewise.” There are also atoms arranged chairwise, atoms arranged rockwise, and atoms arranged planetwise. I “eliminate” many familiar composite macroscopic objects. But I say there are at...
