Lexington obtains the certification of the Spanish Business Centres Association (ACN)
Corporate /
Lexington office areas have now the certification of the Spanish Business Centres Association (ACN) after overcoming the rigorous audit headed and supervised by the prestigious independent firm TUV Rheiland. It is a clear proof of the compromise with the quality of the company, strengthening its leadership as the first business centre in Spain, with a history of than more 34 years. As the General Manager of Lexington says, David Vega, "Strengthening and dedication are the two words that best reflect what this project means to all of us".The struggle against the infiltration and the necessity of professionalize this area to guarantee a quality service for the client, have lead to the ACN to activate a system of Certification and Categorization for the business centres. It is an unprecedented worldwide initiative, lead by Spain, pioneer European country in the activation of a system of requirements and standards to regulate the quality of the services and the functioning of the business centres which operate professionally.For David Vega, a certification is the best tool to professionalize the sector. Concretely, this certificate allows them to offer the client "a guarantee of the quality of the service, which helps to build a solid sector with credibility". This is achieved offering the user a gratifying experience, becoming him the best prescriber of our services" claims the General Manager of Lexington.Around a hundred of centres, Lexington included, have participated in the elaboration of the certificate of the ACN, filling an extensive questionnaire which has allowed the certification of those business centres which collected the necessary requirements and that will be useful to the categorization basing on the different qualitative variables.In relation to the categorization, Vega explains that "It must be understood as the result of the effort of a sector which works for the improvement of those who use our services", which means that the compromise covers the needs of the user in a professional and efficient way.Basing on a long list of parameters as, for example, the qualification of the staff, the quality of the services or aspects as the added value, the business centres will be soon classified with a similar method as the system of the stars in the hotels. In this way, the user will be able to identify easily which is the best proposal that adjusts to his expectations, improving his satisfaction.The initiative has led a great interest within the associations of business centres in a lot of countries which also consider this step as necessary to progress in the professionalization of a sector which expects an intense growth for this year. During 2015, it is expected that more than 34% of the global businesses put in place more flexible work areas as the business centres are, which offer immediate solutions to the space needs in each moment, to the detriment of the conventional rent of offices.

Logological Investigations.Barry Sandwell - 1995 - Routledge.details
These ground breaking volumes, the first in a series of ten, explore the similarities and differences between the discourses of reflection and reflexivity. Examining the role of reflexivity he traces the journey from its early expression though classical and Greek philosophy, drama and poetry to modern and postmodern forms. These `logological investigations' introduce a method of analysis which traces the epochal movement of thought from a videological to a dialogical conception of the world. They are available as a set or (...) individually. (shrink)

Real Equality of Opportunity: BARRY R. GROSS.Barry R. Gross - 1987 - Social Philosophy and Policy 5 (1):120-142.details
We are often told that we are morally obligated to produce equal opportunity for all. Therefore, it seems we should examine what power we have to produce that desirable state. For it would be nonsense to say we are required to provide what is beyond our power to provide. When we examine this question, we find our power limited by two sets of constraints. One set comprises formal constraints upon the idea itself of equal opportunity. We cannot do the logically (...) impossible. The other set comprises limits upon our ability to produce the directed socio-economic change, getting known outputs for known inputs. I illustrate the formal constraints by outlining the work of Douglas Rae. The constraints upon our abilities I illustrate with evidence from sociology and politics. At the end, we shall discover that our power to make opportunities equal is sharply though not unbearably limited. A critical but unbaised survey will reveal that in the past fifty years we have gone remarkably far towards doing all that we are presently capable of doing to equalize opportunities. Perhaps we shall go even farther when we learn how. The word 'real' in the title is opposed to 'ideal' or even 'chimerical'. It may seem an interesting question what equality of opportunity should consist in were we able to produce directed socio-economic change at will. But we are not. Therefore, a more interesting and more important question is what equality of opportunity consists in given the very large number of constraints within which we must work to achieve it. (shrink)

A Unified Theory of Truth and Reference.Barry Smith & Berit Brogaard - 2000 - Logique Et Analyse 43 (169-170):49–93.details
The truthmaker theory rests on the thesis that the link between a true judgment and that in the world to which it corresponds is not a one-to-one but rather a one-to-many relation. An analogous thesis in relation to the link between a singular term and that in the world to which it refers is already widely accepted. This is the thesis to the effect that singular reference is marked by vagueness of a sort that is best understood in supervaluationist terms. (...) In what follows we show that the supervaluationist approach to singular reference, when wedded to the truthmaker idea, yields a framework of surprising power, which offers a uniform set of solutions to a range of problems regarding identity, reference and knowledge, problems which have hitherto been dealt with on an ad hoc basis.

Berkeley V. Locke on Primary Qualities: Barry Stroud.Barry Stroud - 1980 - Philosophy 55 (212):149-166.details
Locke was once supposed to have argued that since the colours, sounds, odours, and other 'secondary' qualities things appear to have can vary greatly according to the state and position of the observer, it follows that our ideas of the 'secondary' qualities of things do not 'resemble' anything existing in the objects themselves. And Berkeley has been credited with the obvious objection that similar facts about the 'relativity' of our perception of 'primary' qualities show that they do not 'resemble' anything (...) existing in the objects either, so that both 'primary' and 'secondary' qualities exist only 'in the mind'. The falsity of this view of Locke has been amply demonstrated in recent years, but no corresponding revision has been made in what remains the standard interpretation of Berkeley's criticisms of Locke. His objections therefore appear to be based on misunderstanding and to be irrelevant to what is now seen to be Locke's actual view and his reasons for holding it. I think this account of Berkeley, like the old view of Locke, is a purely fictional chapter in the history of philosophy, and in this paper I try to show that Berkeley's criticisms involve no misunderstanding and amount to a direct denial of the view Locke actually held.

There Are No Reasons for Affective Attitudes.Barry Maguire - 2018 - Mind 127 (507):779-805.details
A dogma of contemporary ethical theory maintains that the nature of normative support for affective attitudes is the very same as the nature of normative support for actions. The prevailing view is that normative reasons provide the support across the board. I argue that the nature of normative support for affective attitudes is importantly different from the nature of normative support for actions. Actions are indeed supported by reasons. Reasons are gradable and contributory. The support relations for affective attitudes are (...) neither. So-called reasons of the right kind for affective attitudes are facts that make those very attitudes fitting. Unlike reasons, fit-making facts for affective attitudes do not conflict with each other or combine in the explanation of further normative facts. More fit-making facts just make a more complex set of reactions fitting. This result undermines various analyses and unity theses in the philosophy of normativity. (shrink)

Stream of Consciousness: Unity and Continuity in Conscious Experience.Barry Dainton - 2000 - Routledge.details
_Stream of Consciousness_ is about the phenomenology of conscious experience. Barry Dainton shows us that stream of consciousness is not a mosaic of discrete fragments of experience, but rather an interconnected flowing whole. Through a deep probing into the nature of awareness, introspection, phenomenal space and time consciousness, Dainton offers a truly original understanding of the nature of consciousness.

The Phenomenal Self.Barry Dainton - 2008 - Oxford University Press.details
Barry Dainton presents a fascinating new account of the self, the key to which is experiential or phenomenal continuity. Provided our mental life continues we can easily imagine ourselves surviving the most dramatic physical alterations, or even moving from one body to another. It was this fact that led John Locke to conclude that a credible account of our persistence conditions - an account which reflects how we actually conceive of ourselves - should be framed in terms of mental (...) rather than material continuity. But mental continuity comes in different forms. Most of Locke's contemporary followers agree that our continued existence is secured by psychological continuity, which they take to be made up of memories, beliefs, intentions, personality traits, and the like. Dainton argues that that a better and more believable account can be framed in terms of the sort of continuity we find in our streams of consciousness from moment to moment. Why? Simply because provided this continuity is not lost - provided our streams of consciousness flow on - we can easily imagine ourselves surviving the most dramatic psychological alterations. Phenomenal continuity seems to provide a more reliable guide to our persistence than any form of continuity. The Phenomenal Self is a full-scale defence and elaboration of this premise. The first task is arriving at an adequate understanding of phenomenal unity and continuity. This achieved, Dainton turns to the most pressing problem facing any experience-based approach: losses of consciousness. How can we survive them? He shows how the problem can be solved in a satisfactory manner by construing ourselves as systems of experiential capacities. He then moves on to explore a range of further issues. How simple can a self be? How are we related to our bodies? Is our persistence an all-or-nothing affair? Do our minds consist of parts which could enjoy an independent existence? Is it metaphysically intelligible to construe ourselves as systems of capacities? The book concludes with a novel treatment of fission and fusion. (shrink)

The Value-Based Theory of Reasons.Barry Maguire - 2016 - Ergo: An Open Access Journal of Philosophy 3.details
This paper develops the Value-Based Theory of Reasons in some detail. The central part of the paper introduces a number of theoretically puzzling features of normative reasons. These include weight, transmission, overlap, and the promiscuity of reasons. It is argued that the Value-Based Theory of Reasons elegantly accounts for these features. This paper is programmatic. Its goal is to put the promising but surprisingly overlooked Value-Based Theory of Reasons on the table in discussions of normative reasons, and to draw attention (...) to a number of areas for fruitful further research.

Ontology.Barry Smith - 2003 - In Luciano Floridi (ed.), Blackwell Guide to the Philosophy of Computing and Information. Oxford: Blackwell. pp. 155-166.details
Ontology as a branch of philosophy is the science of what is, of the kinds and structures of objects, properties, events, processes and relations in every area of reality. 'Ontology' in this sense is often used by philosophers as a synonym of 'metaphysics' (a label meaning literally: 'what comes after the Physics'), a term used by early students of Aristotle to refer to what Aristotle himself called 'first philosophy'. But in recent years, in a development hardly noticed by philosophers, the (...) term 'ontology' has gained currency in the field of computer and information science, and in information-driven research in bioinformatics and related areas. We examine these new developments in applied ontology, and show what lessons they might have for both philosophers and information scientists. (shrink)

The Quest for Reality.Barry Stroud - 2001 - Philosophical Quarterly 51 (204):395-398.details
We say "the grass is green" or "lemons are yellow" to state what everyone knows. But are the things we see around us really colored, or do they only look that way because of the effects of light rays on our eyes and brains? Is color somehow "unreal" or "subjective" and dependent on our human perceptions and the conditions under which we see things? Distinguished scholar Barry Stroud investigates these and related questions in The Quest for Reality. In this (...) long-awaited book, he examines what a person would have to do and believe in order to reach the conclusion that everyone's perceptions and beliefs about the color of things are "illusions" and do not accurately represent the way things are in the world as it is independently of us. Arguing that no such conclusion could be consistently reached, Stroud finds that the conditions of a successful unmasking of color cannot all be fulfilled. The discussion extends beyond color to present a serious challenge to many other philosophical attempts to discover the way things really are. A model of subtle, elegant, and rigorous philosophical writing, this study will attract a wide audience from all areas of philosophy. (shrink)

Ontological Realism: A Methodology for Coordinated Evolution of Scientific Ontologies.Barry Smith & Werner Ceusters - 2010 - Applied ontology 5 (3):139-188.details
Since 2002 we have been testing and refining a methodology for ontology development that is now being used by multiple groups of researchers in different life science domains. Gary Merrill, in a recent paper in this journal, describes some of the reasons why this methodology has been found attractive by researchers in the biological and biomedical sciences. At the same time he assails the methodology on philosophical grounds, focusing specifically on our recommendation that ontologies developed for scientific purposes should be (...) constructed in such a way that their terms are seen as referring to what we call universals or types in reality. As we show, Merrill's critique is of little relevance to the success of our realist project, since it not only reveals no actual errors in our work but also criticizes views on universals that we do not in fact hold. However, it nonetheless provides us with a valuable opportunity to clarify the realist methodology, and to show how some of its principles are being applied, especially within the framework of the OBO (Open Biomedical Ontologies) Foundry initiative.

Contractual Justice: A Modest Defence: Brian Barry.Brian Barry - 1996 - Utilitas 8 (3):357-380.details
As the author of Justice as Impartiality, I am not ashamed to admit that I was delighted by the liveliness of the discussion generated by it at the meeting on which this symposium is based. I am likewise grateful to the six authors for finding the book worthy of the careful attention that they have bestowed on it. Between them, the symposiasts take up many more points than I can cover in this response. I shall therefore focus on some themes (...) that cluster round the contractual device that I associate with the notion of justice as impartiality. Is it necessary? If it is not necessary is it nevertheless useful? Within an overall contractual framework is the form of contract that I propose uniquely justifiable? And does the form of contract that I defend generate the implications that I claim for it? (shrink)

Since the 1970s Barry Stroud has been one of the most original contributors to the philosophical study of human knowledge. This volume presents the best of Stroud's essays in this area. Throughout, he seeks to clearly identify the question that philosophical theories of knowledge are meant to answer, and the role scepticism plays in making sense of that question. In these seminal essays, he suggests that people pursuing epistemology need to concern themselves with whether philosophical scepticism is true or (...) false. Stroud's discussion of these fundamental questions is essential reading for anyone whose work touches on the subject of human knowledge. (shrink)

When does a human being begin to exist? We argue that it is possible, through a combination of biological fact and philosophical analysis, to provide a definitive answer to this question. We lay down a set of conditions for being a human being, and we determine when, in the course of normal fetal development, these conditions are first satisfied. Issues dealt with along the way include: modes of substance-formation, twinning, the nature of the intra-uterine environment, and the nature of the (...) relation between fetus and mother (connection, parthood, dependence).

Time and Space.Barry Dainton - 2001 - Mcgill-Queen's University Press.details
These are just some of the fundamental questions addressed in Time and Space. Writing for a primary readership of advanced undergraduate and graduate philosophy students, Barry Dainton introduces the central ideas and arguments that make space and time such philosophically challenging topics. Although recognising that many issues in the philosophy of time and space involve technical features of physics, Dainton has been careful to keep the conceptual issues accessible to students with little scientific or mathematical training. Surveying historical debates (...) and ideas at the forefront of contemporary thinking, the book is unrivaled in its coverage. Topics include McTaggart's argument for the unreality of change; static, tensed, and dynamic time; time travel and causal arrows; space as void, motion, and curved spac; as well as a non-technical introduction to the special theory of relativity and the key features of general relativity, spacetime, and strings. Dainton also addresses the relationship between the philosophy of time and broader human concerns involving actions, ethics, fatalism, and death. (shrink)

Libertarianism: Some Conceptual Problems: Norman Barry.Norman Barry - 1989 - Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 26:109-127.details
Perhaps the most remarkable event in social thought of the last twenty years has been the resurgence of various strands of individualism as political doctrines. The term 'individualism' is a kind of general rubric that encompasses elements of nineteenth century classical liberalism, laissez-faire economics, the theory of the minimal state, and an extreme mutation out of this intellectual gene pool, anarcho-capitalism. The term libertarianism itself is applied indiscriminately to all of those doctrines. It has no precise meaning, except that in (...) a general sort of way libertarianism describes a more rigorous commitment to moral and economic individualism and a more ideological approach to social affairs than conventional liberalism. I suspect that its current usage largely reflects the fact that the word with the better historical pedigree, liberalism, has been associated, in America especially, with economic doctrines that are alien to the individualist tradition.

On Substances, Accidents and Universals: In Defence of a Constituent Ontology.Barry Smith - 1997 - Philosophical Papers 26 (1):105-127.details
The essay constructs an ontological theory designed to capture the categories instantiated in those portions or levels of reality which are captured in our common sense conceptual scheme. It takes as its starting point an Aristotelian ontology of "substances" and "accidents", which are treated via the instruments of mereology and topology. The theory recognizes not only individual parts of substances and accidents, including the internal and external boundaries of these, but also universal parts, such as the "humanity" which is an (...) essential part of both Tom and Dick, and also "individual relations", such as Tom's promise to Dick, or their current handshake.

Truthmaker Realism.Barry Smith - 1999 - Australasian Journal of Philosophy 77 (3):274 – 291.details
We take as our starting point a thesis to the effect that, at least for true judgments of many varieties, there are parts of reality which make such judgments are true. We argue that two distinct components are involved in this truthmaker relation. On the one hand is the relation of necessitation, which holds between an object x and a judgment p when the existence of x entails the truth of p. On the other hand is the dual notion of (...) projection, which holds between a judgment p and an object x when the truth of p entails the existence of x. A truthmaker for a judgment p is then a necessitator for p which satisfies the further constraint that it is part of p's projection. We offer a formal theory of the truthmaker relation thus defined, exploiting ontological tools of basic mereology and the theory of dependence. We then apply the theory to a range of problems connected with generic expressions, ellipsis, vagueness, and indexical and perceptual judgments. (shrink)

Models, Truth, and Realism.Barry M. Taylor - 2006 - Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.details
Barry Taylor's book mounts a major new argument against one of the fundamental tenets of much contemporary philosophy, the idea that we can make sense of reality as existing objectively, independently of our capacities to come to know it. He concludes that there is no defensible notion of truth which preserves the theses of traditional realism, nor any extant position sufficiently true to the ideals of that doctrine to inherit its title. In presenting his case Taylor engages with many (...) key works of contemporary metaphysics, semantics, and philosophical logic, so his book will be of interest to a broad spectrum of scholars and students.

Characteristica Universalis.Barry Smith - 1992 - In Kevin Mulligan (ed.), Language, Truth and Ontology. London: Kluwer Academic Publishers. pp. 48--77.details
Recent work in formal philosophy has concentrated over-whelmingly on the logical problems pertaining to epistemic shortfall - which is to say on the various ways in which partial and sometimes incorrect information may be stored and processed. A directly depicting language, in contrast, would reflect a condition of epistemic perfection. It would enable us to construct representations not of our knowledge but of the structures of reality itself, in much the way that chemical diagrams allow the representation (at a certain (...) level of abstractness) of the structures of molecules of different sorts. A diagram of such a language would be true if that which it sets out to depict exists in reality, i.e. if the structural relations between the names (and other bits and pieces in the diagram) map structural relations among the corresponding objects in the world. Otherwise it would be false. All of this should, of course, be perfectly familiar. (See, for example, Aristotle, Metaphysics, 1027 b 22, 1051 b 32ff.) The present paper seeks to go further than its predecessors, however, in offering a detailed account of the syntax of a working universal characteristic and of the ways in which it might be used.

Consciousness as a Guide to Personal Persistence.Barry Dainton & Tim Bayne - 2005 - Australasian Journal of Philosophy 83 (4):549-571.details
Mentalistic (or Lockean) accounts of personal identity are normally formulated in terms of causal relations between psychological states such as beliefs, memories, and intentions. In this paper we develop an alternative (but still Lockean) account of personal identity, based on phenomenal relations between experiences. We begin by examining a notorious puzzle case due to Bernard Williams, and extract two lessons from it: first, that Williams's puzzle can be defused by distinguishing between the psychological and phenomenal approaches, second, that so far (...) as personal identity is concerned, it is phenomenal rather than psychological continuity that matters. We then consider different ways in which the phenomenal approach may be developed, and respond to a number of objections. That with which the consciousness of this present thinking thing can join itself, makes the same person, and is one self with it, and with nothing else; and so attributes to itself and owns all the actions of that thing, as its own, as far as that consciousness reaches, and no farther; as every one who reflects will perceive.

Science in Context: Readings in the Sociology of Science.Barry Barnes & David O. Edge (eds.) - 1982 - MIT Press.details
This collection of eighteen readings provides a basic text for undergraduates taking sociology of science courses. A general survey of articles published between 1961 and 1981, the book is also a useful overview for students taking courses in social and political studies of science; science, technology, and society; and "social issues" components of courses in the environmental sciences, geography, philosophy, and history of science. The editors have organized the book around "the relationship between the subculture of science and the wider (...) culture which surrounds it. Looked at from this perpective, science is primarily a source of knowledge and competence.... Thus to stress its interaction with its context not only highlights these aspects of science which most people find of overriding pragmatic interest, but also raises important basic issues concerning credibility, the distribution of authority in society, and the nature of the interaction between different forms of culture." Essays are grouped in five sections: The Organization of Academic Science: Communication and Control; The Culture of Science; The Interaction of Science and Technology; The Interaction of Science and Society; Science as Expertise. The editors have added a general introduction, part introductions, bibliographical notes, and a lengthy bibliography. Barry Barnes is Lecturer at the Science Studies Unit, University of Edinburgh, and editor of an earlier version of this book, The Sociology of Science, published in the Penguin Sociology Readings series and now out of print. David Edge is Director of The Science Studies Unit at the University of Edinburgh and a joint editor of the journal, Social Studies of Science. (shrink)

A Short History of African Philosophy.Barry Hallen - 2002 - Indiana University Press.details
In this accessible book, Barry Hallen discusses the major ideas, figures, and schools of thought in African philosophy. While drawing out critical issues in the formation of African philosophy, Hallen focuses on the recent scholarship, current issues, and relevant debates that have made African philosophy an important key to understanding the rich and complex cultural heritage of Africa. Hallen builds upon Africa's connections with Western philosophical traditions and explores African contributions to cultural universalism, cultural relativism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, and Marxism. (...) Hallen also examines African challenges to Western conceptions of philosophy by taking on questions such as whether philosophy can exist in cultures that are significantly based in oral traditions and what may or may not constitute philosophical texts. Among the figures whose work is discussed are Ptah-hotep, Zar'a Ya'aqob, Anton Wilhelm Amo, Paulin Hountondji, V. Y. Mudimbe, Oyeronke Oyewumi, Kwame Anthony Appiah, and Kwasi Wiredu. This clearly written, highly readable, and concise work will be essential for students and scholars of African philosophy as well as readers with a wide range of interests in African studies.

Extension of the logical language to deliver plural reference and the logical relations that constitute knowledge of the singular and plural acquires empirical bite just in case it conforms with increasing precision to the syntax of the natural language and affords explanation of what speakers know about the distribution and meaning of plural expressions in their language. As for the syntax of natural language, this discussion, being none too precise, is guided throughout by just two considerations and their immediate consequences, (...) which is discussed at greater length in this article. The first, morpheme univocality, is that a morpheme despite its various syntactic and morphological contexts has a single meaning that supports all its occurrences. (shrink)

Are Cantonese Speakers Really Descriptivists? Revisiting Cross-Cultural Semantics.Barry Lam - 2010 - Cognition 115 (2):320–32.details
In an article in Cognition, Machery, Mallon, Nichols, and Stich [Machery et al., 2004] present data which purports to show that "East Asian" native Cantonese speakers tend to have descriptivist intuitions about the referents of proper names, while "Western" native English speakers tend to have causal-historical intuitions about proper names. Machery et al take this finding to support the view that some intuitions, the universality of which they claim is central to philosophical theories, vary according to cultural background. Machery et (...) al hypothesize that the differences in intuitions about reference stem from general psychological differences between Eastern and Western subjects. Machery et al conclude from their findings that the philosophical methodology of consulting intuitions about hypothetical cases is flawed vis ` a vis the goal of determining truths about some philosophical domains. To quote Machery et al, "our data indicate that philosophers must radically revise their methodology" because "the intuitions philosophers pronounce from their armchairs are likely to be a product of their own culture and their academic training" ( [Machery et al., 2004] pp.B9). "The evidence suggests that it is wrong for philosophers to assume a priori the universality of their own semantic intuitions" ( [Machery et al., 2004] pp. B8). In the following study, I present data incompatible with Machery et al's results. Native Cantonese-speaking immigrants from a Cantonese diaspora 1 in Southern California do not have descriptivist intuitions about the referents of proper names when presented with a Cantonese story and Cantonese questions about reference and truth-value. This data raises questions about the quality of Machery et al's study and the conclusions they draw from it. (shrink)

The theory of document acts is an extension of the more traditional theory of speech acts advanced by Austin and Searle. It is designed to do justice to the ways in which documents can be used to bring about a variety of effects in virtue of the fact that, where speech is evanescent, documents are continuant entities. This means that documents can be preserved in such a way that they can be inspected and modified at successive points in time and (...) grouped together into enduring document complexes. We outline some components of a theory of document acts, and show how it can throw light on certain problems in Searle's ontology of social reality. (shrink)

Gestalt Theory: An Essay in Philosophy.Barry Smith - 1988 - In Foundations of Gestalt Theory. Vienna: Philosophia Verlag. pp. 11-81.details
The Austrian philosopher Christian von Ehrenfels published his essay "On 'Gestalt Qualities'" in 1890. The essay initiated a current of thought which enjoyed a powerful position in the philosophy and psychology of the first half of this century and has more recently enjoyed a minor resurgence of interest in the area of cognitive science, above all in criticisms of the so-called 'strong programme' in artificial intelligence. The theory of Gestalt is of course associated most specifically with psychologists of the Berlin (...) school such as Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler and Kurt Koffka. We shall see in what follows, however, that an adequate philosophical understanding of the Gestalt idea and of Ehrenfels' achievement will require a close examination not merely of the work of the Berlin school but also of a much wider tradition in Austrian and German philosophy in general.

Probabilistic Causation and the Explanatory Role of Natural Selection.Pablo Razeto-Barry & Ramiro Frick - 2011 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences 42 (3):344-355.details
The explanatory role of natural selection is one of the long-term debates in evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, the consensus has been slippery because conceptual confusions and the absence of a unified, formal causal model that integrates different explanatory scopes of natural selection. In this study we attempt to examine two questions: (i) What can the theory of natural selection explain? and (ii) Is there a causal or explanatory model that integrates all natural selection explananda? For the first question, we argue that (...) five explananda have been assigned to the theory of natural selection and that four of them may be actually considered explananda of natural selection. For the second question, we claim that a probabilistic conception of causality and the statistical relevance concept of explanation are both good models for understanding the explanatory role of natural selection. We review the biological and philosophical disputes about the explanatory role of natural selection and formalize some explananda in probabilistic terms using classical results from population genetics. Most of these explananda have been discussed in philosophical terms but some of them have been mixed up and confused. We analyze and set the limits of these problems. (shrink)

The Cornucopia of Formal-Ontological Relations.Barry Smith & Pierre Grenon - 2004 - Dialectica 58 (3):279–296.details
The paper presents a new method for generating typologies of formal-ontological relations. The guiding idea is that formal relations are those sorts of relations which hold between entities which are constituents of distinct ontologies. We provide examples of ontologies (in the spirit of Zemach's classic "Four Ontologies" of 1970), and show how these can be used to give a rich typology of formal relations in a way which also throws light on the opposition between threeand four-dimensionalism.

The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful: Discourse About Values in Yoruba Culture.Barry Hallen - 2000 - Indiana University Press.details
The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful Discourse about Values in Yoruba Culture Barry Hallen Reveals everyday language as the key to understanding morals and ethics in Yoruba culture. "This contrasts with any suggestion that in Yoruba or, more generally, African society, moral thinking manifests nothing much more than a supine acquiescence in long established communal values.... Hallen renders a great service to African philosophy." —Kwasi Wiredu In Yoruba culture, morality and moral values are intimately linked to aesthetics. The (...) purest expression of beauty, at least for human beings, is to possess good moral character. But how is moral character judged? How do actions, and especially words, reveal good moral character in a culture that is still significantly based on oral tradition? In this original and intimate look at Yoruba culture, Barry Hallen asks the Yoruba onisegun—the wisest and most accomplished herbalists or traditional healers, individuals justly reputed to be well versed in Yoruba thought and expression—what it means to be good and beautiful. Posed as an outsider wanting to gain understanding of how to speak Yoruba correctly, Hallen engages the onisegun and has them explain the subtleties and intricacies of Yoruba language use and the philosophy behind particular word choices. Their instructions reveal a striking and profound depiction of Yoruba aesthetic and ethical thought. The detailed interpretations of everyday language that Hallen supplies challenge prevailing Western views that African thought is nothing more than acquiescence to long-established religious or communal values. The philosophy of ordinary language reveals that moral reflection is indeed individual and that evaluations of action and character take place on the basis of clearly and logically delineated criteria. With the onisegun as his guides, Hallen identifies the priorities of Yoruba philosophy and culture through everyday expression and shows that there are rational pathways to both truth and beauty. Barry Hallen has taught philosophy at the Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria. He is a Fellow at the W. E. B. DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research at Harvard University and Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Morehouse College.

The concept of niche (setting, context, habitat, environment) has been little studied by ontologists, in spite of its wide application in a variety of disciplines from evolutionary biology to economics.

The theory builds upon existing work on mereology, topology, and the theory of spatial location as tools of formal ontology. It will be illustrated above all by means of simple biological (...) examples, but the concept of niche should be understood as being, like concepts such as part, boundary, and location, a structural concept that is applicable in principle to a wide range of different domains.

Eden Hazard Reveals Having Secret Meeting With Real Madrid Before Moving to Spain
Former Chelsea forward, Eden Hazard has reveal that he has had a secret meeting with the president of Real Madrid before he made the move last summer.
The Belgian who completed a move of £89million which could rise to £150m with add-ons noted that he has made up his mind of joining the Spanish Giant a year before he secure the move.
Hazard stated this while appearing in a documentary on Real Madrid TV, where he discussed when it first became clear a move to the Bernabeu was a strong possibility.
And the Belgium international revealed it was after the 2018 World Cup when he was told by Florentino Perez that they would be trying to sign him.

He said: "Courtois is someone I know well and in which I trust."
"He always told me it was the best club.
"When he finished the World Cup in Russia I wanted to go to Madrid, I had already made the decision.
"It was not possible and I was another year Chelsea.
"That made the exit easier, Chelsea understood and let me out.
"I spoke to Florentino and told me that I expected in Madrid.
READ ALSO Arsenal Legend pleased with Guendouzi's progress
"After I spoke with Luka Modric and felt that everyone wanted me see at Real Madrid. And finally fulfilled."
It hasn't been the fairytale start for Hazard at Real so far, with just one goal from his opening seven games in all competitions.
And it remains incredibly tight in the Spanish top flight, with just three points separating the top seven teams.
The 28 years old won two Premier League titles, two Europa League trophies as well as an FA Cup and League Cup.

We will bring the latest Bigfoot information and reports to you so please return for updates soon. This site is devoted to the Bigfoot mystery.
Areas of recent possible Bigfoot activity in Michigan are the Fulton State game area, along the Pere Marquette and Pentwater river valleys and and the Manistee National Forest in Mason and Manistee counties. We are currently doing research and preparing reports in these locations and will have updated information this spring. I do have some photos of Michigan Bigfoot tracks posted on the site now that I found in July, 2008.
We will be starting a new project after the new year starts. I will be documenting Bigfoot tracks found in the snow in Michigan. Look for updates soon!
What is Bigfoot or Sasquatch? Is he an ancient man or a species of ape?
The most common explanation for Bigfoot, among believers, is that they are a rare and elusive species of large primate. This hypothesis is backed by the appearance and behaviors of most Bigfoot sighting reports. The only thing that does not fit with this idea is the seemingly high intelligence that the creature appears to exhibit. Bigfoot trackers speak of lean-tos, broken branches marking pathways, and leafy nests that may be akin to what other great apes such as gorillas build. This is just one theory. As of yet nobody knows for sure. You can find out much more by going to the excellent articles we have , Bigfoot/Sasquatch Myth or Reality.
Sightings of Bigfoot/Sasquatch were first reported in parts of the United States and Canada in the early 1800s. I have just uncovered some even older reports from Northern Michigan and will be investigating further. Since then there have been thousands of reports of a large, hairy hominid or ape, with the distinguishing characteristic of a 16"-20" footprint. There have also been many obvious forgeries and hoaxes, wild guesses about UFOs or supernatural connections. Some suggest the beast is a relative of Gigantopithecus, an extinct primate of China, but no hard, factual evidence of a Bigfoot has ever been produced. A famous home movie from 1967 by Roger Patterson still stands as one of the most significant -- and controversial -- pieces of visual evidence. In 2008 two men, Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer, held a press conference to claim they had found a Bigfoot body in the forests of Georgia. The "body" was later revealed to be a rubber gorilla suit.
Similar stories from around the world about giant and elusive ape-like humans include the Yeren of China, the Yeti of the Himalaya mountains, the Yowie of Australia and the Mapinguari of South America.

Cambridge City Lincoln softball clips Franklin County
By The NEWS-EXAMINER
BROOKVILLE — The Cambridge City Lincoln softball team jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings on the road at Franklin County on Monday night.
They needed nearly all of that lead.
The Lady Wildcats fought back, cutting what would become a 6-0 deficit to 6-4 with two runs in the bottom of the third, and solo tallies in both the fifth and sixth.
Lincoln would extend its lead, however, scoring five times in the seventh to make the score 11-4 with only three outs left to get.
Franklin County didn't make it easy, however, plating four runners in the bottom of the seventh, before succumbing to an 11-8 final.
The Lady Golden Eagles finished with 11 hits in the game, three of them coming off the bat of Emmie Pugh. One of those three was pivotal, as her seventh-inning grand slam plated four of LHS' five tallies in the key frame. Kaleigh Lamb and Jaela Patton also finished with multiple hits, the duo each collecting two.
Abby Orschell was the catalyst at the plate for the Wildcats, the senior outfielder collecting three of her team's eight hits in the contest. She also finished with four RBI on the night.
Bree Bischoff added two hits for FC.
Three hurlers pitched in for Lincoln. The last of them, Laynie Richards, recorded two outs in the seventh and earned the victory.
Cameryn Brewer and Michalea Ferman shared mound duties for Franklin County, the latter suffering the loss.
Franklin County's loss came on the heels of a split of two games at Hartford City on Saturday.
Scoring 15 runs in the first of two contests on the day, the Wildcats still fell short against Eastern Hancock, the Lady Royals rallying to escape with a 16-15 victory.
Four errors in the fourth inning was FC's undoing, as EC took advantage for eight runs.
Franklin County rebounded in the second game of the day, scoring 10 times in the first inning, and easily beating Blackford High School, 17-4.
Union County baseball shuts out Twin Lakes
MONTICELLO — Limiting Twin Lakes to six hits in the game, the Union County baseball team came away with an 8-0 win on Saturday.
On offense, the Patriots were more thrifty at the plate, collecting 13 hits and scoring in four of the seven innings played.
The big frame was the sixth, as Alex Van Winkle, Blake Fields, Justin Witter and Mason Wicker all touched home plate for UC. For Van Winkle, Fields and Wicker, it was the second time in the game to circle the bases.
Fields finished with three hits to lead the Patriots in the batter's box. Witter and Wicker added two hits each.
Dayton Minthorn led Twin Lakes with a pair of hits.
Dustin Freeman earned the complete game pitching victory for Union County, striking out five.
Union County improved to 16-5 with the win.
CHS track and field reserves compete at EIAC
Both Connersville junior varsity track and field teams competed at the Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference reserve meet on Saturday.
Baylee Schneider earned CHS' best finish at the meet, crossing the finish line as the runner-up in the 1600. Schneider was also sixth in the 800.
Also posting strong finishes for the Spartans were Brayden Jones (5th, pole vault), Austin Lancaster (5th, discus), Trevor Hux (7th, 800), Austin Wenta (6th, 3200), Dustin McCarroll (6th, discus), Gage Brown (6th, high jump), Keaton Oakley (7th, 110 hurdles) and Sean Brown (8th, 3200).
No team scores were kept at the meet.
Patriot golf team improves to 11-0
LIBERTY — Hosting non-conference opponent Randolph Southern on Monday night, the Union County golf team improved to 11-0 on the season with a 168-269 victory.
The Patriots finished with a birdie and 13 pars on their home course, on the way to the lopsided win over the Rebels.
Tyler Osborne earned low-medalist honors from his No. 1 spot for Union County. Six pars helped him post a score of 38.
Cody Peters was next, both in pars (4) and score, as he carded a 40.
One shot behind him was Cameron Woods, who drove, chipped and putted his way to a score of 41. He finished with only one par, but had UCs lone birdie of the round, earning that on the par-4 seventh hole.
Nick Orr added a 49, and Luke Yamashiro finished with two pars and a 50.
Tate Kenworthy led the visitors with a nine-hole score of 66.
Gabe Cox also turned in a round for the Patriots, finishing with a 52.
Lady Spartan softball blows out Batesville
BATESVILLE — Using its power game once more, the Connersville High School softball team scored a combined five runs in the first two innings, and never looked back, earning a 14-4 victory at Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference foe Batesville on Monday evening.
Connersville added four runs in the third to make the score 9-0, then tacked on another in the fifth, before the Lady Bulldogs finally lit up their portion of the scoreboard with a tally in the bottom of the fourth.
The hosts would add three more runs in the bottom of the fifth, but by then the game was out of their control.
A four-run sixth inning by the Lady Spartans would close out the 10-run-rule win.
CHS finished with 15 hits in the game, three of them leaving the park.
Madison Fields finished with four of those hits, two of them home runs, driving in four runs. Also going deep in the game was Paige Dunaway, who finished with three hits and three RBI.
Joining Fields with a four-hit night was lead-off batter Ashley Ruble, whose batting average now sits at .434 for the season.
The three home runs give CHS a team total of 38 for the season. Allison Woytik leads that charge with 11. Fields and Dunaway are close with nine and eight, respectively.
Connersville travels to Rushville today.
Middle School baseball earns big win over Lincoln
CAMBRIDGE CITY — Scoring seven times in the first inning, the Connersville Middle School baseball team cruised to a 19-3 victory at Cambridge City Lincoln on Monday night.
The Spartans added two runs in the second and four in the third to take a 13-0 lead into the bottom of the third.
Lincoln would push two runs across in the third, but it was too little, too late, as the CMS boys earned their 16th win in 17 games this season.
Luke Morris, Owen Lewis and Cody Brown all finished with three hits in the game, one of Brown's good for two bases.
Brown also scored three times, while Morris and Lewis touched home twice.
Four pitchers combined to work the mound for Connersville, as Lewis followed Cam Schonfeld, Morris and Grant Nickloy, picking up the win.

Prosecutors In Minnesota File Two New Charges Against R. Kelly – Tha Wire
E. Jason Wambsgan, Getty Images
Today in Tha Wire, getting an acquittal in 2008 on all counts in the infamous child pornography trial may have given R. Kelly a false sense of invincibility. For decades, the star has managed to escape scores of charges and sexual abuse allegations, but it looks like his luck has finally run out. Billboard reports that Phil Turner, a former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago, pointed that out in a recent statement on Kelly's current charges. Turner said, "Federal charges are the major leagues. It's a completely different ballgame for Kelly now."
Despite pleading not guilty, federal prosecutors get convictions more than 90% of the time, so it's a slim chance that Kells will get off this go around. If anything, Turner believes the singer is going to be pressured to take a plea deal. Either way, Robert Sylvester Kelly is probably going to jail and it's just a matter of for how long. According to AllHipHop, the music star was just hit with two more charges for sex crimes he allegedly committed in Minnesota.
On Monday, August 6, 2019, Hennepin County Attorney, Mike Freeman, announced R. Kelly has been charged with engaging in prostitution with a girl under eighteen and hiring/ offering or agreeing to hire a woman for sexual contact. The new charges stem from July, 2011, when the singer allegedly paid $200 to have a teenage girl (believed to be sixteen or seventeen) strip and perform sex acts with him at his hotel.
Altogether, the 52-year-old disgraced entertainer is looking at a combined forty federal counts from sexual charges he's racked-up in Illinois, New York, and now Minnesota.
Kelly faces a maximum sentence of more than 500 years, meaning unless he gets some type of deal, he'll likely spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted. However, prosecutors say even if he lands the deal of the century, like ten to twenty years, he will be in his 70s or 80s before he sees the light of day again.
Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago trial lawyer who's represented multiple clients in plea deals, confirmed the singer's future is pretty grim. According to Pissetzky, if Kelly pleads guilty to one count, he could still be looking at the same amount of time he'd get if he went to trial.
"And you're talking allegations of sex crimes and minors. I don't think any judge will feel any mercy," Pissetzky said. Long story short, the Chicago trial lawyer explained, "That amount of time, in your 50s, means you're leaving prison in a box.
In that case, the attorney offered, "If the prison time you're looking at is so high, you may as well go to trial."
