Representing dispositions
Dispositions and tendencies feature significantly in the biomedical domain and therefore in representations of knowledge of that domain. They are not only important for specific applications like an infectious disease ontology, but also as part of a general strategy for modelling knowledge about molecular interactions. But the task of representing dispositions in some formal ontological systems...
متن کاملRepresenting Dispositions and Emotions in Simulated Combat
1 Abstract Emotion is an essential element of human behavior.

Dispositional, but not categorical properties, are not susceptible to intrinsic finks, nor are they remediable by intrinsic antidote...

In Briggs and Nolan 2012, we suggested that advocates of a Nozickian tracking theory of knowledge might do well to appeal to dispositions rather than counterfactuals. (Gundersen 2003 and 2010 makes a similar suggestion, though he prefers a dispositional account of counterfactuals that enables him to retain a conditional tracking analysis.) John Turri (2012) and Ben Bronner (2012) have offered a...
