1 Summary In this paper, we try to promote the building of a Quantitative Austrian Modelling (QAM). QAM must be viewed as a complementary quantitative prolongation of the Austrian methods and as a complementary approach to the already existing quantitative approaches especially we would like here to answer to the appeal of Prof. N.J.Vriend [61]. As we explain it in the first part, our approach ...

Subjects live with objects1: they observe objects, create objects, and use objects. The τ-theory (the Greek letter “τ” is pronounced as “TAO”, which stands for “Teleology Affordances Ontology”) is a theory about subjects (with purposes) and objects (with properties), and the possible relationships between them. It is rooted in the philosophical branches of teleology, including praxeology (the e...

Medicine was a “productive art” (Aristotle), and now it is an aggregate of such arts. It thus is supposed to have products, and indeed it does. Hippocrates’ empirico-rational medicine emphasized the cognitive products the concepts of which it introduced — diagnosis and prognosis. In this gnosis genre of medicine’s products, the diagnosis versus prognosis duality has been retained up to this day...

investigation and monitoring of the displacement field derived from deformation is among the important studies in earth science and geophysics topics, which plays a main role in the prevention and praxeology of natural disasters such as earthquake, subsidence, land slide et cetera. here we can mention the several methods in geodetic measurement and deformation monitoring such as spirit leveling...

This paper investigates the interplay between individual, collective and organizational dimensions in knowing? We consider knowing in practice in the perspective of habitus, practice and field dynamics in Bourdieu’s praxeology. We ground our research in the case of a grand restaurant. During our eight year-observation range, three chefs managed this restaurant while the cook team remained stabl...

Accounting for human activity through physics does not require anything more than a switch of mind. Objectivity needs first to be recognized as an epistemological principle that should mostly be ignored when modelling human activity, lest it is decided that methods from physics should not apply to man out of principle. Secondly, it needs to be understood that two dimensions of human activity ar...
