As Daniel Speak notes in a recent article, the debate over Frankfurt-style examples (FSE) has focused overwhelmingly on whether such examples in fact show the principle of alternative possibilities (PAP) to be false. According to Speak, in the rush to attack and defend the examples themselves, a subtler and more devastating criticism of the FSE has been missed. For even if the FSE falsify PAP, ...

To fulfil the requirement on beam luminosity the ion source has to deliver a cold and intense proton beam with a generalized perveance of K = 3.1·10. Therefore, it was decided to use a hot filament driven gas discharge ion source providing very small beam emittances due to the very low plasma temperature. Furthermore, this source type is able to produce high beam intensities. Preliminary experi...

Since the 1980s and 1990s, vagus nerve and deep brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and cranial electrotherapy stimulation have found their way into neurology as therapeutic approaches to epilepsy, Morbus Parkinson and other central nervous symptoms. Moreover, these methods have proven useful and provided hope in the therapy of other diseases, most of all in psychiatry. From a ...

Bullshit”, as Harry Frankfurt writes in his recent book “On Bullshit”, is a communication that pretends to be genuinely informative but really is not. The person who talks bullshit, Frankfurt holds, is unconcerned with whether what he says is true, but is very concerned with how he is thought of by the listener. In this paper, I discuss Frankfurt’s theory of bullshit, making specific reference ...
