A Confucian Perspective on Public Health Ethics
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Debates in public health ethics have been dominated by the assumptions of Western liberalism: a priority given to liberty and autonomy over other values, an individualistic view of social ontology, a focus on personal responsibility, a minimal set of obligations (only created through consent), and a marginalization of social, cultural, and ...

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012 Using fixed point methods, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of homomorphisms in C∗-algebras and Lie C∗-algebras and of derivations on non-Archimedean C∗-algebras and Non-Archimedean Lie C∗-algebras for an m-variable additive functional ...

Vector spaces with an order unit
, 2009 We develop a theory of ordered *-vector spaces with an order unit. We prove fundamental results concerning positive linear functionals and states, and we show that the order (semi)norm on the space of self-adjoint elements admits multiple extensions to ...

Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

Stability and Superstability of Ring Homomorphisms on Non-Archimedean Banach Algebras
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2011 Using fixed point methods, we prove the superstability and generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of ring homomorphisms on non-Archimedean Banach algebras. Moreover, we investigate the superstability of ring homomorphisms in non-Archimedean Banach algebras ...

Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk. Risk‐weighted expected utility is an alternative that allows decision‐makers to have a range of attitudes toward probabilistic risk. It holds that any attitude within this range is instrumentally rational, since these attitudes represent different, equally good ...

A look at nonexpansive mappings in non-Archimedean vector spaces
Moroccan Journal of Pure and Applied Analysis, 2021 In a spherically complete ultrametric space every nonexpansive self-mapping T has a fixed point ̄x or a minimal invariant ball B(̄x, d(̄x, T(̄x)). We show how we can approximate this fixed center ̄x in a non-Archimedean vector space.

Philosophical Perspectives, 2015 In Aristophanes’ The Clouds, Socrates orders his hapless student Strepsiades to lie down on a couch to make him more receptive to philosophical inspiration. Instead he catches Strepsiades masturbating under the bedclothes. Aristophanes’ suggestion is that it amounts to much the same thing. Like philosophy, scepticism about philosophy has its modes and

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.
