There Is No Special Problem About Scientific Representation ∗
We propose that scientific representation is a special case of a more general notion of representation, and that the relatively well worked-out and plausible theories of the latter are directly applicable to the scientific special case.

This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them.

We show that there exists a range of parameters in SU(5) theory for which the GUT symmetry remains broken at high temperature, thus avoiding the phase transition that gives rise to the overproduction of monopoles. The thermal production of monopoles can be naturally suppressed, keeping their number density below the cosmological limits. A. Introduction It has been known for a long time that the...

متن کاملIs there a Problem about Intentionality ?
The crucial point of the mind-body-problem appears to be that mental phenomena (events, properties, states) seem to have features which at first sight make it impossible to integrate these phenomena into a naturalistic world view, i.e. to identify them with, or to reduce them to, physical phenomena.1 In the contemporary discussion, there are mainly two critical features which are important in t...
