Newton’s notion and practice of unification

In this paper I deal with a neglected topic with respect to unification in Newton’s Principia. I will clarify Newton’s notion (as can be found in Newton’s utterances on unification) and practice of unification (its actual occurrence in his scientific work). In order to do so, I will use the recent theories on unification as tools of analysis (Kitcher, Salmon and Schurz). I will argue, after showing that neither Kitcher’s nor Schurz’s account aptly capture Newton’s notion and practice of unification, that Salmon’s later work is a good starting point for analysing this notion and its practice in the Principia. Finally, I will supplement Salmon’s account in order to answer the question at stake.     

The goal of explanation

I defend the claim that understanding is the goal of explanation against various persistent criticisms, especially the criticism that understanding is not truth-connected in the appropriate way, and hence is a merely psychological (rather than epistemic) state. Part of the reason why understanding has been dismissed as the goal of explanation, I suggest, is because the psychological dimension of the goal of explanation has itself been almost entirely neglected. In turn, the psychological dimension of understanding—the Aha! experience, the sense that a certain explanation “feels right”, and so on—has been conspicuously overemphasized. I try to correct for both of these exaggerations. Just as the goal of explanation includes a richer psychological—including phenomenological—dimension than is generally acknowledged, so too understanding has a stronger truth connection than is generally acknowledged.     

标准,抑或参考?——《婚姻法解释(三)》之“不动产登记”辨识

不动产登记是公示方法而非确定权属的标准,共同共有不排斥共有关系终止时的按比例分割。对"用共同财产还贷"的法律行为做合目的、习惯以及婚姻法价值取向的解释可以得出结论:《婚姻法解释(三)》之"不动产登记",无论是在确定父母赠与之意思表示时,还是在确定房产是个人财产还是夫妻共同财产时,抑或在夫妻离异时确定房屋产权归属时都只是一种参考,而非标准。     

《钱注杜诗》和《读杜心解》阐释特色之比较

清代前期钱谦益的《钱注杜诗》和浦起龙的《读杜心解》运用传统阐释观念对杜诗进行阐释。前者力图考辨史实,批驳旧注,后者力图阐发杜甫的＂蔼然忠厚之本心＂;前者侧重＂知人论世＂,后者侧重＂以意逆志＂。两者各有特色而又互补,共同丰富和发展了杜诗学。     

王先谦庄学研究初探

王先谦《庄子集解》是庄学中非常重要的书。地方也“间下己意”，标揭对庄子思想和写作艺术的见解。性质和作者等，王先谦也有独到的观点。它基本上是由郭庆藩的《庄子集释》删略辑成，有的对于庄学研究中一直存在的问题，如《庄子》一书的     

Computation, individuation, and the received view on representation

The ‘received view’ about computation is that all computations must involve representational content. Egan and Piccinini argue against the received view. In this paper, I focus on Egan’s arguments, claiming that they fall short of establishing that computations do not involve representational content. I provide positive arguments explaining why computation has to involve representational content, and how that representational content may be of any type (distal, broad, etc.). I also argue (contra Egan and Fodor) that there is no need for computational psychology to be individualistic. Finally, I draw out a number of consequences for computational individuation, proposing necessary conditions on computational identity and necessary and sufficient conditions on computational I/O equivalence of physical systems.

A Multi-Agent Based Equipment Bidding System on the Web

This paper puts forward a new framework of multi-agent based equipment bidding system on the Web (MAEBSW). The purpose of the paper is to make the process of enterprise equipment bidding, especially the decision process of enterprise equipment bidding, more intelligent. The system discussed in this paper is an efficient method for the enterprises doing business electronically. We also present our opinion of the approaches to defining agents. We emphasize the importance of agent being able to provide explanation about its behavior for the user or other agents. Based on this opinion we design a new common architecture of most agents in MAEBSW.
