A Probabilistic Defense of Proper De Jure Objections to Theism

A common view among nontheists combines the de jure objection that theism is epistemically unacceptable with agnosticism about the de facto objection that theism is false. Following Plantinga, we can call this a “proper” de jure objection—a de jure objection that does not depend on any de facto objection. In his Warranted Christian Belief, Plantinga has produced a general argument against all proper de jure objections. Here I first show that this argument is logically fallacious (it makes subtle probabilistic fallacies disguised by scope ambiguities), and proceed to lay the groundwork for the construction of actual proper de jure objections

Attribute Classification and Reduct Computation in Multi-Adjoint Concept Lattices

The problem of reducing information in databases is an important topic in formal concept analysis, which has been studied in several articles. In this article, we consider the fuzzy en- vironment of the multi-adjoint concept lattices, since it is a general fuzzy framework that allows us to easily establish degrees of pref- erence on the elements of the considered database. We introduce algorithms to discover the information contained in the relational system. By means of these algorithms, we classify the attributes of a multi-adjoint context, and build a minimal subset of attributes preserving the information of the original knowledge system.The work of L.
