Fallacies and Their Place in the Foundations of Science
Could a Computer Learn to Be an Appeals Court Judge? The Place of the Unspeakable and Unwriteable in All-Purpose Intelligent Systems
I will take it that general intelligence is intelligence of the kind that a typical human being—Fred, say—manifests in his role as a cognitive agent, that is, as an acquirer, receiver and circulator of knowledge in his cognitive economy. Framed in these terms, the word “general” underserves our ends. Hereafter our questions will bear upon the all-purpose intelligence of beings like Fred. Frederika appears as Fred’s AI-counterpart, not as a fully …

Symptom-Related Distress among Indigenous Australians in Specialist End-of-Life Care: Findings from the Multi-Jurisdictional Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration Data
Symptom relief is fundamental to palliative care. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians are known to experience inequities in health care delivery and outcomes, but large-scale studies of end-of-life symptoms in this population are lacking. We compared symptom-related distress among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian patients in specialist palliative care using the multi-jurisdictional Palliative Care Outcomes Colla…
Truth in Fiction: Rethinking its Logic
Disparities experienced by Aboriginal compared to non-Aboriginal metropolitan Western Australians in receiving coronary angiography following acute ischaemic heart disease: The impact of age and comor…
The disproportionate under-management of older Aboriginal IHD patients is of particular concern. Regardless of age, the disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians in receiving angiography for acute IHD in a metropolitan setting is mediated substantially by comorbidities. This constellation of health problems is a 'double-whammy' for Aboriginal people, predisposing them to IHD and also adversely impacting on their receipt of angio…

Lightening up on the Ad Hominem
In all three of its manifestations, —abusive, circumstantial and tu quoque—the role of the ad hominem is to raise a doubt about the opposite party’s casemaking bona-fides.Provided that it is both presumptive and provisional, drawing such a conclusion is not a logical mistake, hence not a fallacy on the traditional conception of it. More remarkable is the role of the ad hominem retort in seeking the reassurance of one’s opponent when, on the face …
Finding the Abuser in the Victim
A period of transition in the life of a forensic outpatient group is described. Transference and countertransference issues were stirred up by the change of conductor, and related to the theme of perversion in the group. In order to preserve confidentiality, the identity of group members is disguised. Their contributions to the group have been combined and changed in order not to represent individuals but to convey the essence of the group proces…
Handbook of the history of logic
In designing the Handbook of the History of Logic, the Editors have taken the view that the history of logic holds more than an antiquarian interest, and that a knowledge of logic's rich and sophisticated development is, in various respects, relevant to the research programmes of the present day. Ancient logic is no exception. The present volume attests to the distant origins of some of modern logic's most important features, such as can be found…

Understanding the ecology of plankton
Plankton are microscopic organisms living in the sea. They are responsible for more than half of the biological production of our planet. They also influence global climate, fisheries and pollution. Understanding the ever-changing distribution of plankton in the ocean is one of the grand challenges of science. The scope of the problem has been well documented in the 20th century, and new research tools should greatly accelerate progress in the 21…

Handling Violence in Child Group Therapy
Aggressive and disruptive behaviour by children is a perennial problem for carers and the child care services. The problem runs deep since it touches on wider questions about human destructiveness. S. H. Foulkes held an optimistic view about the natural capacity of a therapy group to contain and transform destructive impulses. Acute practical problems arise, however, when a children's group gets caught up with anxiety and aggression. Adults under…

The Correspondence of Benjamin Rush and Granville Sharp 1773–1809
Granville Sharp (1735–1813) was the son of Thomas Sharp, Archdeacon of Northumberland, and grandson of John Sharp, Archbishop of York. He first became well known through his persistent efforts to secure a judgement from the courts that no man could be a slave in England—efforts which were crowned with success in the Somerset case of 1772. Sharp's attack on slavery attracted the attention of the Philadelphia Quaker, Anthony Benezet (1713–84), one …

On Arguing about Entailment
In 1919, G. E. Moore introduced into technical philosophy the term “entailment.” He used it to name the converse of the relation which holds between two propositions when the one follows from or is deducible from the other. Moore believed this latter to be exemplified by the relation in which the conclusion of an argument in Barbara stands to the conjunction of its premises and by the relation in which x is coloured stands to x is red

À propos de «(Ǝx) (y) [( φy · ≡ · y = x ) · ψx ]»
Il est triste mais néanmoins vrai que Russell est passé à l'Histoire de la Philosophie, qu'il est démodé alors qu'il est encore si plein de vie. Aujourd'hui, nous attribuons une valeur restreinte à une petite partie seulement de cet héritage considerable, et cette partie elle-même est souvent dénigrée. Je fais allusion, bien entendu, à la théorie des descriptions définies qui, malgré les gaucheries de jeunesse dans On Denoting et les tendances mé…

Considérations sémantiques sur la logique de la fiction
Le trait sémantique le plus distinctif du discours au sujet des êtres fictifs consiste peut-être dans le fait que nous évaluons celui-ci d'une façon contradictoire. Il est évident que nous sommes disposés à rejeter la phrase «Sherlock Holmes lived on Berczy Street» en faveur de «Sherlock Holmes lived on Baker Street» mais, néanmoins, nous considérons cette dernière phrase comme fausse; et un recensement complet de l'époque montrerait que nous avo…

The Petitio: Aristotle's Five Ways
If one looks to the current textbook lore for reliable taxonomic and analytical information about the petitio principii, one is met with conceptual disarray and much too much nonsense. The present writers have recently attempted to furnish the beginnings of a theoretical reconstruction of this fallacy which is at once faithful to its formidable complexity yet useful as guide for its detection and avoidance. The fact is that the petitio has had a …
Question-Begging and Cumulativeness in Dialectical Games
In two recent articles [8] and [7], the authors argue thatpetitioprincipii is better understood as an epistemic rather than an alethic fallacy. In another article [ 1] we seek for an epistemic analysis of the petitio based on the von Wright-Geach notion of entailment. However, other writers, e.g., Hamblin [3], have serious reservations about the usefulness of epistemic logic for the exploration of the fallacies and are themselves inclined to thin…
