Platonism, intuition and the nature of mathematics
1988
Platonism is an essential aspect of mathematical method. Mathematicians are learned ability " t o l i v e " in the "world" of mathematical concepts. Here we have the main source of the creative power of mathematics, and of its surprising efficiency in natural sciences and technique. In this way, "living" (sometimes - for many years) in the "world"of their concepts and models, mathematicians are learned to draw a maximum of conclusions from a minimum of premises. Fixed system of basic principles is the distinguishing property of every mathematical theory. Mathematical model of some natural process or technical device is essentially a f i x e d m o d e l which can be investigated indepen…

La actualidad de la equidad de Aristóteles. Doce tesis antiformalistas sobre el derecho y la función judicial
2014
En este trabajo se propone una lectura de la teoría aristotélica de la equidad desde los presupuestos de un enfoque argumentativo del derecho. Después de ofrecer una contextualización de la filosofía del derecho de Aristóteles en el marco de su filosofía moral (teoría de la virtud) y política (teoría del Estado), se extraen las implicaciones de la equidad para la práctica de la jurisdicción en forma de doce tesis críticas del formalismo jurídico. This paper purports an interpretation of the Aristotelian theory of equity from the point of view of an argumentative approach to law. Once the main ideas of the legal philosophy of Aristotle are framed in the context of his moral and political phi…
Speech technology as an experimental science: towards the comparative dynamics of Sprechkunde in Germany and Russia in the late nineteenth to early t…
2016
The article examines various resonances of the “speech technology” (Sprechkunde) current in German and Russian-Soviet context of 1900–1920s. It contains first of all a brief history of the techniques of speech in Germany, an inquiry into some psychophysical sources of the “speech technology” and a survey of the contribution of German “new rhetoric” to this movement. The Russian counterparts of this trend include the Institute of the Living Word (Institut živogo slova, 1918–1923), some Russian formalists, the scenic speech specialists and the theatre pedagogues. The conclusion summarises the historical significance of “speech technology” and its common features in Germany and Russia. It turn…
La utilización de la historia de las ciencias en la enseñanza de la física y la química
1996
Most recently we have assisted to a considerable increase of investigations on cons tructivi Stic approaches to Science teaching, but among all these works we rarely found detailed proposals for including the History and Philosophy of Science. In this paper we consider how to initiate this trend and which should be the aims in order to get a better Science teaching. We consider basically which the pupils’ perceptions of Science in a High School level are in order to show how we can modify them by means of introducing the History of Science under a new perspective.
METAPHOR IN THE XXth CENTURY: TWO WAYS OF INTERPRETING THE CONCEPT
2018
Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es resumir, a través del análisis de las fuentes teóricas principales, el desarrollo de dos tradiciones en la interpretación de la metáfora. Simbólicamente las podemos denominar: 1) Visión formalista, centrada en la descripción de los rasgos de la metáfora, su estructura formal y las funciones que desempeña en un texto o un discurso; y 2) Visión pragmática y cognitiva que propone comprender la metáfora en relación con la situación comunicativa, mostrando también su papel como una de las cadenas básicas del pensamiento humano. Abstract The aim of this article is to summarize, through the analysis of the main theoretical sources, the development of two way…

Nonlinear dissipation phenomena in optomechanics
2016
Yksikään kvanttisysteemi ei voi olla täysin eristetty ympäristöstään, mikä johtaa informaation välittymiseen systeemin ja ympäristön välillä. Optomekaniikassa, missä tyypillinen tutkittava systeemi on peileistä koostuva optinen kaviteetti yhdistettynä mekaaniseen värähtelijään, systeemin ja ympäristön lineaarisesta kytkennästä johtuvat dissipaatioilmiöt ovat hyvin tunnettuja. Epälineaarisia ilmiöitä ei kuitenkaan ymmärretä yhtä laajasti. Tutkin epälineaarista kytkentää kaviteetin ja lämpökylvyn välillä ja havainnollistan tästä kytkennästä johtuvia ilmiöitä kuten epälineaarista dissipaatiota. Esitän myös optisen kaviteetin epälineaarisen dissipaation oikeuttavan mallin, missä optinen kavitee…
Testing the nature of the Λ(1520)-resonance in proton-induced production
2006
The $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance has been recently studied in a unitarized coupled channel formalism with $\pi\Sigma(1385)$, $K\Xi(1530)$, $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ as constituents blocks. We provide a theoretical study of the predictions of this model in physical observables of the $pp\to pK^+K^-p$ and $pp\to pK^+\pi^0\pi^0\Lambda$ reactions. In particular, we show that the ratio between the $\pi^0\pi^0\Lambda$ and $K^-p$ mass distributions can provide valuable information on the ratio of the couplings of the $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance to $\pi\Sigma(1385)$ and $\bar{K}N$ that the theory predicts. Calculations are done for energies which are accessible in an experimental facility like COSY at …
The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top: Correspondence between tensorial and Watson's formalisms
2006
Abstract The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top molecule with C2v symmetry is considered as a distorted spherical top deriving from the SO 4 2 − tetrahedral ion. We present here a detailed correspondence between the tensorial formalism using the Td⊃C2v reorientation and the usual Hamiltonian of Watson. We have also performed ab initio calculations in order to determine the centrifugal distorsion constants in the vibrational ground state.
