All Brutes are Subhuman: Aristotle and Ockham on Private Negation
The mediaeval logic of Aristotelian privation, represented by Ockham’sexposition of All A is non-P as All S is of a type T that is naturally P and no S isP, is critically evaluated as an account of privative negation. It is argued thatthere are two senses of privative negation: (1) an intensifier (as in subhuman),the inverse of Neoplatonic hypernegation (superhuman), which is st...
متن کاملComplemented congruences on Ockham algebras
An Ockham algebra L = (L,∧,∨, f, 0, 1) that satisfies the identity f2n+m = fm, n ∈ N and m ∈ N0, is called a Kn,m-algebra. Generalizing some results obtained in [2], J. Varlet and T. Blyth, in [3, Chapter 8], study congruences on K1,1-algebras. In particular, they describe the complement (when it exists) of a principal congruence and characterize these congruences that are complemented. In this...

متن کاملOckham Efficiency Theorem for Random Empirical Methods
Ockham’s razor is the principle that, all other things being equal, rational scientists ought to prefer simpler theories to more complex ones. In recent years, philosophers have argued the simpler theories make better predictions, possess theoretical virtues like explanatory power, and have other pragmatic virtues like computational tractability. However, such arguments fail to explain why and ...
متن کاملMoral Monsters and Saints
This paper argues for the moral significance of the notion of an evil person or character. First, I argue that accounts of evil character ought to support a robust bad/evil distinction; yet existing theories cannot plausibly do so. Consequentialist and related theories also fail to account for some crucial properties of evil persons. Second, I sketch an intuitively plausible “affective-motivati...
