The Limits of Classical Extensional Mereology for the Formalization of Whole–Parts Relations in Quantum Chemical Systems

Philosophies, 2020
This paper examines whether classical extensional mereology is adequate for formalizing the whole–parts relation in quantum chemical systems. Although other philosophers have argued that classical extensional and summative mereology does not adequately ...

Time to expand a paradigm: Healthcare sustainability and eco-ethical assessment. [PDF]

Bioethics
ABSTRACT This paper aims to rethink healthcare sustainability from an eco‐ethical approach, mainly referring to van Rensselaer Potter's global bioethics and Arne Naess's ecosophy. In this sense, it seeks to address the ethical problem of allocating resources from a non‐individualist and essentially bio‐medical perspective, which interprets health (or ...

Entropy Is Not Extensive [PDF]

Entropy
The Gibbs Paradox (concerning the entropy of mixing and entropic extensivity) was explored in depth by Edwin Jaynes (1992). We take up Jaynes’ treatment, considering the special cases for which entropy is (approximately) extensive, and the general case ...

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2020
AbstractIn linguistics, the dominant approach to the semantics of plurals appeals to mereology. However, this approach has received strong criticisms from philosophical logicians who subscribe to an alternative framework based on plural logic. In the first part of the article, we offer a precise characterization of the mereological approach and the ...

Maǧallaẗ Kulliyyaẗ Al-ādāb Ǧāmiʿaẗ Būrsaʿīd, 2022
لم يُعرف التمييز بين حدي القضية - المفهوم والماصدق - بشکلٍ انفصالي کلٌ على حدة إلاَّ في وقتٍ متأخر؛ فکل قضية تتکون من حدين هما المفهوم والماصدق، والعلاقة بينهما عکسية کما نعلم؛ کلما زاد المفهوم قل الماصدق والعکس، لکن هذا لا يعني القول بأحدهما فقط دون ...

On Knowledge Granulation and Applications to Classifier Induction in the Framework of Rough Mereology [PDF]

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2009
Knowledge granulation as proposed by Zadeh consists in making objects under discussion into classes called granules; objects within a granule are similar one to another to a satisfactory degree relative to a chosen similarity measure.
