Modal Platonism utilizes “weak” logical possibility, such that it is logically possible there are abstract entities, and logically possible there are none. Modal Platonism also utilizes a non-indexical actuality operator.
Modal Platonism is the EASY WAY, neither reductionist nor eliminativist, but embracing the Platonistic language of abstract entities while eliminating ontological commitment to them.
STATEMENT OF MODAL PLATONISM. Any consistent statement B ontologically committed to abstract entities may be replaced by an empirically equivalent modalization, MOD(B), not so ontologically committed. This equivalence is provable using Modal/Actuality Logic S5@.
Let MAX be a strong set theory with individuals. Then the following Schematic Bombshell Result (SBR) can be shown:
MAX logically yields [T is true if and only if MOD(T) is true], for scientific theories T.
The proof utilizes Stephen Neale’s clever model-theoretic interpretation of Quantified Lewis S5, which I extend to S5@. 相似文献

The ideal world semantics of standard deontic logic identifies our obligations with how we would act in an ideal world. However,
to act as if one lived in an ideal world is bad moral advice, associated with wishful thinking rather than well-considered
moral deliberation. Ideal world semantics gives rise to implausible logical principles, and the metaphysical arguments that
have been put forward in its favour turn out to be based on a too limited view of truth-functional representation. It is argued
that ideal world semantics should be given up in favour of other, more plausible uses of possible worlds for modelling normative
subject-matter. 相似文献

The experience of wonder is often said to be at the origin of acts of creativity, both historical and mundane, from big breakthroughs in science to the everyday discoveries of children at play. And yet, wonder and wondering have rarely been theorized until now, at least in the psychology of creativity. Understood as one of the main ways in which we engage with the possible, wonder presents us, upon closer inspection, with a paradox typical for creativity—experiencing what is present (the here and now) through the lenses of what is absent (the not‐yet‐here). Wondering is grounded in the possibility of adopting multiple perspectives on a certain reality; many of which are yet unknown to the creator while anticipated and actively looked for. In this paper, the creative process fuelled by the experience of wonder is described as a cyclical interplay between awareness, excitement, and exploration of the possible. Thus, one of the main consequences of reflecting on wonder and wondering is not only a renewed focus on process in creativity research but, most of all, a new emphasis on the less “visible” and yet essential aspects of creative action as it bridges the actual and the possible. 相似文献

This paper argues that relativity of truth to a world plays no significant role in empirical semantic theory, even as it is
done in the model-theoretic tradition relying on intensional type theory. Some philosophical views of content provide an important
notion of truth at a world, but they do not constrain the empirical domain of semantic theory in a way that makes this notion
empirically significant. As an application of this conclusion, this paper shows that a potential motivation for relativism
based on the relativity of truth to a world fails. 相似文献

Stuart Kauffman's work on complexity and self‐organization echoes ideas found in writings of C. S. Peirce and G. W. F. Hegel. Included in these common threads are the understanding of science as historical narrative, the recognition of emergence as a phenomenon associated with complex systems, and the appreciation of agency as an emergent property that serves as both a creative and determining force in evolution. 相似文献

Science educators and those who investigate science learning have tended, for good reason, to focus their attention on students' conceptual development, Such a focus is, however, too narrow to provide full and proper understanding of the complexities of original science learning. Recently developmental cognitive psychologists have called on the work of postpositivistic philosophers of science, especially Thomas Kuhn, to bolster their research into conceptual development in science acquisition. What these psychologists have not recognized is that Kuhn's position is actually a derivative of Wittgenstein's methodological nominalism, a viewpoint far more favorable to behaviorism than cognitive psychology. After drawing out some of the consequences of this fact for the developmental cognitive psychologist program for studying science learning, we suggest our own radical alternative. Drawing on Floden, Buchmann and Schwille's idea of Breaking with Everyday Experience we propose an alternative notion of original science learning in terms of Alfred Schutz's modification of Williams James' many worlds thesis. The many worlds thesis will allow us to better understand students' difficulty in learning idealized worlds such as science, worlds that represent a discontinuous break with ordinary everyday practical experience. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Careers work in the twenty-first century faces a key challenge in terms of digital technologies: to evaluate their potential for careers work in challenging settings. Given the rapidity of developments, technologies require evaluation in research innovations and naturalistic settings. Virtual worlds offer potential for careers and guidance work, and the therapeutic domain. To illustrate this, we present examples in which young people explore their feelings and ideas, plans and difficulties, while preparing for film-making. During this they develop important life transition skills. We argue that the power of virtual worlds – to support emotional and cognitive engagement – could be utilised in practice settings. We conclude that they are serious candidates as digital tools in the careers and guidance domain. 相似文献

Suppose the members of a group (e.g., committee, jury, expert panel) each form a judgment on which worlds in a given set are
possible, subject to the constraint that at least one world is possible but not all are. The group seeks to aggregate these
individual judgments into a collective judgment, subject to the same constraint. I show that no judgment aggregation rule
can solve this problem in accordance with three conditions: “unanimity,” “independence” and “non-dictatorship,” Although the
result is a variant of an existing theorem on “group identification” (Kasher and Rubinstein, Logique et Analyse 160:385–395,
1997), the aggregation of judgments on which worlds are possible (or permissible, desirable, etc.) appears not to have been
studied yet. The result challenges us to take a stance on which of its conditions to relax. 相似文献

In this paper the author describes certain kinds of images (phantoms) that appear in the aftermath of social catastrophes. These phantoms come with an underlying narrative structure, which the author describes as phantom narratives. Phantom narratives show how the unconscious, working at the group and individual levels, provides political and social contexts within which the individual may find a different kind of containment for these catastrophes. In this way their suffering may be potentially processed psychologically and related to symbolically. 相似文献
