- Decision-Making in the Human-Machine Interface.J. Benjamin Falandays,SamuelSpevack,Philip Pärnamets &Michael Spivey -2021 -Frontiers in Psychology 12.If our choices make us who we are, then what does that mean when these choices are made in the human-machine interface? Developing a clear understanding of how human decision making is influenced by automated systems in the environment is critical because, as human-machine interfaces and assistive robotics become even more ubiquitous in everyday life, many daily decisions will be an emergent result of the interactions between the human and the machine – not stemming solely from the human. For example, (...) choices can be influenced by the relative locations and motor costs of the response options, as well as by the timing of the response prompts. In drift diffusion model simulations of response-prompt timing manipulations, we find that it is only relatively equibiased choices that will be successfully influenced by this kind of perturbation. However, with drift diffusion model simulations of motor cost manipulations, we find that even relatively biased choices can still show some influence of the perturbation. We report the results of a two-alternative forced-choice experiment with a computer mouse modified to have a subtle velocity bias in a pre-determined direction for each trial, inducing an increased motor cost to move the cursor away from the pre-designated target direction. With queries that have each been normed in advance to be equibiased in people’s preferences, the participant will often begin their mouse movement before their cognitive choice has been finalized, and the directional bias in the mouse velocity exerts a small but significant influence on their final choice. With queries that are not equibiased, a similar influence is observed. By exploring the synergies that are developed between humans and machines and tracking their temporal dynamics, this work aims to provide insight into our evolving decisions. (shrink)

- Similarity, Topology, and Physical Significance in Relativity Theory.Samuel C. Fletcher -2016 -British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 67 (2):365-389.Stephen Hawking, among others, has proposed that the topological stability of a property of space-time is a necessary condition for it to be physically significant. What counts as stable, however, depends crucially on the choice of topology. Some physicists have thus suggested that one should find a canonical topology, a single ‘right’ topology for every inquiry. While certain such choices might be initially motivated, some little-discussed examples of Robert Geroch and some propositions of my own show that the main candidates—and (...) each possible choice, to some extent—faces the horns of a no-go result. I suggest that instead of trying to decide what the ‘right’ topology is for all problems, one should let the details of particular types of problems guide the choice of an appropriate topology.

- Reconsidering the Donohue-Levitt Hypothesis.Samuel Kahn -2016 -American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly 90 (4):583-620.According to the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis, the legalization of abor- tion in the United States in the 1970s explains some of the decrease in crime in the 1990s. In this paper, I challenge this hypothesis. First, I argue against the intermediate mechanisms whereby abortion in the 1970s is supposed to cause a decrease in crime in the 1990s. Second, I argue against the correlations that sup- port this causal relationship.

- Hume on Evil.Samuel Newlands -2016 - In Paul Russell,The Oxford Handbook of David Hume. Oxford: Oxford University Press.This paper focuses on Hume’s discussions of evil, with an eye toward both contemporary disputes in philosophy of religion and Hume’s own eighteenth-century context. Following preliminary remarks about the texts and context, the second section explores the wide variety of problems of evil found in Hume’s writings, arguing that this multifaceted presentation is one of Hume’s greatest contributions to contemporary discussions of evil. In the third section, the focus shifts to the unfolding discussion of evil in Dialogues X–XI, offering a (...) close, critical reading of the exchanges between Philo and Cleanthes. The final section consists of a critical evaluation of Hume’s main claims concerning God and evil, ending with an overview of Hume’s enduring legacy on this topic. (shrink)

- Will and Motivation.Samuel C. Rickless -2013 - In Peter R. Anstey,The Oxford handbook of British philosophy in the seventeenth century. Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.The chapter, which examines the views of seventeenth-century British philosophers on the notion of will and motivation, explains the answers of philosophers on questions concerning the relation among will, freedom of action, motivation, and causal determination. These philosophers include John Bramhall, Thomas Hobbes, Ralph Cudworth, and John Locke. The chapter concludes that the history of British thought on the issue of will and motivation is complex one.No categories

- Analyse économique du droit, big data et justice prédictive.Samuel Ferey -2018 -Archives de Philosophie du Droit 1:67-81.Les perspectives ouvertes par le big data et la justice prédictive ont été largement commentés par les économistes du droit. L’article revient sur la manière dont on peut appréhender ces évolutions économiques et technologiques en montrant comment la possibilité de disposer d’informations plus précises sur le droit à venir renouvelle les problématiques classiques de l’économie du droit. Après une brève description économique de ces innovations techniques, on revient sur la possible automatisation et individualisation de l’application des règles de droit pour (...) en saisir les implications en termes d’efficacité économique du droit. Enfin, on traite de l’automatisation des jugements et du travail du juge en croisant cette question avec celle, bien connue en économie du droit, des biais de jugements et des biais cognitifs.

- Missing, Presumed Not Dead.Samuel Lebens -2020 -Philosophia 49 (3):1043-1050.In this paper, I argue that if we have reason to believe that an immaterial soul exists, then it should be presumed to be immortal. The conclusion is weaker than Socrates’ conclusion that immaterial souls must be immortal, but the argument is stronger, I claim, for having this weaker conclusion. Moreover, a presumption of immortality is significant in its own right.No categories
- Sueño y existencia: el cogito cartesiano en Las ruinas circulares de J. L. Borges.Samuel Manuel Cabanchik -2017 -Hybris, Revista de FilosofíA 8 (S1):241-252.En el presente trabajo, leeremos el cuento de Jorge Luis Borges “Las ruinas circulares”, incluido en Ficciones, en dos planos diferentes: como argumento filosófico y como símbolo o alegoría. El hilo de nuestra inquisición será el de los vínculos entre sueño y existencia que se despliegan a través de la ficción borgeana. Lo haremos a través de un contrapunto con otro texto, lejano si se quiere, pero en la medida que cada texto habita intersticios difusos en los que se abre (...) a todo texto, es tan próximo a las “las ruinas circulares” como cualquier otro. Se trata del clásico locuscartesiano para un argumento filosófico en los que el vínculo entre sueño y existencia hace de punto pivote. (shrink)No categories
- From Medics to Managers: The Ascent of the Entrepreneur.Samuel Michael Natale &Sebastian A. Sora -2009 -Journal of Business Ethics 87 (3):337-342.Where one stands to engage with the world is not as some New Age Psychologists continue to argue, completely free and self-determined. Rather, it is formed largely beyond one’s control and is fraught with both dangers and opportunities. This pre-determined point of view is referred to as the Assumptive World (Parkes, 1975). This is defined as a “strongly held set of assumptions about the world and the self that is confidently maintained and used as a means of recognizing, planning and (...) acting…Assumptions such as these are learned and confirmed by the experience of many years” (Parkes, 1975, p. 132). There are, further, levels and intensities of assumptions, as refined by Janoff-Bulman, R. (1992). These assumptions form the centre point of our world and our consciousness. They are so much a part of us that we tend not to challenge them. Though unchallenged, these assumptions nevertheless drive our behaviors, set our expectations, and operationalize our moral views.

- Influence of Combined Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Motor Training on Corticospinal Excitability in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy.Samuel T. Nemanich,Tonya L. Rich,Chao-Ying Chen,Jeremiah Menk,Kyle Rudser,Mo Chen,Gregg Meekins &Bernadette T. Gillick -2019 -Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 13:449776.Combined non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) and rehabilitation interventions have the potential to improve function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), however their effects on developing brain function are not well understood. In a proof-of-principle study, we used single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure changes in corticospinal excitability and relationships to motor performance following a randomized controlled trial consisting of 10 days of combined constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the contralesional motor (...) cortex. Twenty children and young adults (mean age = 12 years, 9 months, range = 7 years, 7 months, 21 years, 7 months) with UCP participated. TMS testing was performed before, after, and 6 months after the intervention to measure motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude and cortical silent period (CSP) duration. The association between neurophysiologic and motor outcomes and differences in excitability between hemispheres were examined. Contralesional MEP amplitude decreased as hypothesized in five of five participants receiving active tDCS immediately after and 6 months after the intervention, however no statistically significant differences between intervention groups were noted for MEP amplitude [mean difference = −323.9 μV, 95% CI = (−989, 341), p = 0.34] or CSP duration [mean difference = 3.9 ms, 95% CI = (−7.7, 15.5), p = 0.51]. Changes in corticospinal excitability were not statistically associated with improvements in hand function after the intervention. Across all participants, MEP amplitudes measured in the more-affected hand from both contralesional (mean difference = −474.5 μV) and ipsilesional hemispheres (−624.5 μV) were smaller compared to the less-affected hand. Assessing neurophysiologic changes after tDCS in children with UCP provides an understanding of long-term effects on brain excitability to help determine its potential as a therapeutic intervention. Additional investigation into the neurophysiologic effects of tDCS in larger samples of children with UCP are needed to confirm these findings. (shrink)
- Vedic practice, ritual studies and Jaimini's Mīmāṃsāsūtras: dharma and the enjoined subject.Samuel Ngaihte -2020 - New York: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group.Drawing on insights from Indian intellectual tradition, this book examines the conception of dharma by Jaimini in his Mīmāṃsāsūtras, assessing its contemporary relevance, particularly within ritual scholarship. Presenting a hermeneutical re-reading of the text, it investigates the theme of the relationship between subjectivity and tradition in the discussion of dharma, bringing it into conversation with contemporary discourses on ritual. The primary argument offered is that Jaimini's conception of dharma can be read as a philosophy of Vedic practice, centred on the (...) enjoinment of the subject, whose stages of transformation possess the structure of a hermeneutic tradition. Offering both substantive and methodological insights into the contentions within the contemporary study of ritual, this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Hindu Studies, Ritual Studies, Asian Religion and South Asian Studies.

- O empirismo construtivo de Bas C. Van Fraassen E o problema do sucesso científico.Samuel Simon &Aline Moares -2007 -Philósophos - Revista de Filosofia 12 (2).O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar os principais aspectos do Empirismo Construtivo de Bas C. van Fraassen, particularmente no que diz respeito ao problema do sucesso científico. Nesse contexto, serão examinadas as noções de observável e inobservável e suas relações com o ‘argumento do milagre’ e da ‘coincidência cósmica’, ambos criticados por van Fraassen. As respostas de autores que defendem o Realismo Científico serão então apresentadas, contrapondo-se aos argumentos do Empirismo Construtivo. Finalmente, possíveis dificuldades do Empirismo Construtivo serão ainda (...) examinadas e uma proposta para superá-las será apresentada. (shrink)

- Dimensions of war: understanding war as a complex adaptive system.Samuel Solvit -2012 - Paris: L'Harmattan.With today mutable identities and various kinds of warfare, how do we further our understanding of war? Reviewing influential war theories from Machiavelli to the present, this book analyses how they reduce war in terms of time, space, interaction, purpose, aim, and/or evolution. Considering war as a complex adaptive system allows us to increase our overall comprehension of contemporary wars.
- Experiência e educação no pensamento educacional de John Dewey: Teoria e prática em análise.Samuel Mendonça &Felipe Alves Pereira Adaid -2018 -Prometeus: Filosofia em Revista 11 (26).O conceito de experiência é nuclear para se discutir a relação entre teoria e prática, assim, esse artigo discute os conceitos de experiência e de educação na perspectiva de John Dewey, sem esgotar, evidentemente, estes que podem ser considerados eixos fundantes de sua filosofia da educação. Sendo assim, a pergunta que melhor exprime o trabalho é: como a relação entre teoria e prática se dá no pensamento de John Dewey? O trabalho foi realizado, do ponto de vista do método, por (...) meio de revisão bibliográfica, com destaque específico para a obra Experiência e Educação do teórico norte americano. No contexto do pensamento deweyano, justifica-se a perspectiva pragmatista como referencial teórico, adotando Charles Pierce e William James como autores. Em que pese a preocupação de John Dewey com a experiência docente e sua influência na tentativa de uma ressignificação da relação entre o educador e o educando, visando à construção de uma nova forma de educação, o legado deixado por Dewey se mostra bastante atual, mesmo suas obras datando de mais de setenta anos.

- Genesis and Structure of Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit".Samuel Cherniak &John Heckman (eds.) -1974 - Northwestern University Press.Jean Hyppolite produced the first French translation of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. His major works--the translation, his commentary, and Logique et existence --coincided with an upsurge of interest in Hegel following World War II. Yet Hyppolite's influence was as much due to his role as a teacher as it was to his translation or commentary: Foucault and Deleuze were introduced to Hegel in Hyppolite's classes, and Derrida studied under him. More than fifty years after its original publication, Hyppolite's analysis of (...) Hegel continues to offer fresh insights to the reader. (shrink)

- Rationalism About Autobiography.Samuel Clark -2019 - In Garry L. Hagberg,Narrative and Self-Understanding. Palgrave. pp. 53-73.Autobiography is a distinctive and valuable kind of reasoning towards ethical knowledge. But how can autobiography be ethical reasoning? I distinguish four ways in which autobiography can be merely involved in reasoning: as clue to authorial intentions; as container for conventional reasoning; as historical data; and as thought experiment. I then show how autobiography can itself be reasoning by investigating its generic form. Autobiographies are particular, enabling vivid display of and education in value-suffused perception. They are diachronic, enabling critique by (...) ironic contrast. And they are compositional, enabling sense-making by placing in a temporal structure. But these features don’t distinguish autobiographies from novels. Should we therefore accept a deflationary account of a fourth generic feature of autobiographies, that they are self-reflective? I instead pursue a more ambitious account of self-reflection and the distinctively autobiographical reasoning it enables, involving a realism constraint, a reflexive explanation constraint, and unique address to first-person problems of the self. I conclude with an interpretation of an example work of autobiographical reasoning, Siegfried Sassoon’s Memoirs of George Sherston, against the idea that self-owning is necessary to the good human life.
