Observer Relativity, Physical Properties and Computation
We examine Searle’s argument, in [14], that syntax, and a fortiori computation, are not genuine physical properties of objects such as computers or minds, but are essentially observer-relative properties. He bases this argument on a sharp distinction between brute physical properties and observer-relative properties. We argue that what is at issue in Searle’s argument is a certain intensionalit...
متن کاملStatus of Relativity with observer-independent length and velocity scales
I have recently shown that it is possible to formulate the Relativity postulates in a way that does not lead to inconsistencies in the case of space-times whose structure is governed by observer-independent scales of both velocity and length. Here I give an update on the status of this proposal, including a brief review of some very recent developments. I also emphasize the role that one of the...
متن کاملComparison of relativity theories with observer - independent scales of both velocity and length / mass
There are now in the literature two proposals of relativity theories with observer-independent scales of both velocity and length/mass: one, which we here call “DSR1”, proposed by Amelino-Camelia in gr-qc/0012051,hep-th/0012238 and one, which we here call “DSR2”, proposed by Magueijo and Smolin in hep-th/0112090. We argue that a key aspect of such theories are the kinematical conditions for par...
متن کاملCultural Relativity of Moral Precepts
The foundation of most intellectual discourse is Western-centric to the exclusion of other views. This includes ideal patterns of social interaction, preference for aesthetic, accepted norms and values, and the concepts of dignity, respectability, morality and ethics. Such a position is culturally myopic. Western cultural influence colors all of them including moral precepts. The assumption is ...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
