متن کاملOn the Maximality
As our proof depends only on the invariant subspace theorem for H1 [2, Theorem 7 ] ; see also [4 ], where Hl denotes the L1 closure of A, and the F. and M. Riesz theorem [3, p. 47], it works in any situation in which these two theorems are valid. Some algebras in which both theorems are valid were considered by Bishop [l]. Even though the proof extracted by Cohen [3, p. 94] from the proof of We...
متن کامل(Non)maximality and Distributivity: a Decision Theory Approach
Following Merin’s (1999) approach to relevance, van Rooy (1999) uses Decision Theory (DT) to give a formal definition of relevance in its application to questions. In his analysis, questions are inherently underspecified or vague (1): their denotation contains a variable Op (1b) that depends on a decision problem facing the speaker (i.e., the questioner). In the context of the decision problem,...
متن کاملMinimizing Maximality
Judgments about the locus of synchronic personal identity are often guided by the intuition that “I” am the thing that thinks, or minimally, that neither my body nor any part of it is a thinker distinct from me. Ted Sider argues in a series of articles that in order to reconcile this intuition with the principle of microphysical supervenience, we must accept ‘being a thinker’ as a maximal prope...
