Semantic Criteria of Correct Formalization

This paper compares several models of formalization. It articulates criteria of correct formalization and identifies their problems. All of the discussed criteria are so called “semantic” criteria, which refer to the interpretation of logical formulas. However, as will be shown, different versions of an implicitly applied or explicitly stated criterion of correctness depend on different understandings of “interpretation” in this context

Transformation of propositional calculus statements into integer and mixed integer programs: An approach towards automatic reformulation

A systematic procedure for transforming a set of logical statements or logical conditions imposed on a model into an Integer Linear Progamming (ILP) formulation Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) formulation is presented. An ILP stated as a system of linear constraints involving integer variables and an objective function, provides a powerful representation of decision problems through a tightly interrelated closed system of choices. It supports direct representation of logical (Boolean or prepositional calculus) expressions. Binary variables (hereafter called logical variables) are first introduced and methods of logically connecting these to other variables are then presented. Simple constraints can be combined to construct logical relationships and the methods of formulating these are discussed. A reformulation procedure which uses the extended reverse polish representation of a compound logical form is then described. These reformulation procedures are illustrated by two examples. A scheme of implementation.ithin an LP modelling system is outlined

Methodological Essentialism: Comments on "Philosophy, Sex and Feminism"

In arguing that sex and gender must be taken seriously as areas of philosophical interest, de Sousa and Morgan assume that, if properly practiced, science and philosophy are essentially emancipatory. Several questions are raised about the efficacy and implication of this assumption.Dans leur discussion de l’importance d’inclure le sexe et le genre dans l’étude de la philosophie, de Sousa et Morgan supposent que, dans leur pratique adéquate, la philosophie et les sciences sont primordialement émancipatoires. Plusieurs questions se posent concernant les implications et l’efficacité de leur postulat

An early manuscript in the history of American comparative psychology: Lewis Henry Morgan’s “Animal Psychology”

Abstract: Lewis Henry Morgan (1818-1881) is best known as the 1st ethnographer of Native American culture, but he also wrote on animal psychology, beginning in 1843, some 50 years before the founding of comparative psychology as a scientific discipline. Although not an evolutionist, Morgan argued that animals possess many human mental abilities, such as reason and moral judgment, and he rejected the scientific utility of the concept of instinct, a view that did not gain much currency in psychology until the rise of behaviorism in the 1920s. This 1857 manuscript, which is in the Lewis Henry Morgan Papers at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, formed the basis for the last chapter of his 1868 monograph on the American beaver but gives additional information on his sources and an expanded criticism of the concept of instinct
