Philosophy of Mathematics and Ontological Commitment

2000

This paper concerns Quine's classification of philosophies of mathematics as sketched in "On what there is" and offers a new reading of Quine's view. In his famous paper Quine defines three positions: Realism, Conceptualism, and Nominalism. Each of them, he says, has its modern expression, respectively, in Logicism, Intuitionism, and Formalism. According to Quine these foundational positions can be accepted or rejected on a clear and objective basis, according to their distinctive ontological commitments. Consistent with his own criterion for ontological commitment (buttressed by his view on impredicative definitions), Quine adopts the Realist (or the Platonist) position in mathematics. Lat…

Learning from Animated Diagrams: How Are Mental Models Built?

2008

Current approaches to the design of educational animations too often appear to be largely founded upon intuition rather than research-based principles. Animated diagrams designed to be behaviourally realistic run the risk of learners overlooking vital high relevance information that has low intrinsic perceptual salience. The information that learners extract from such representations is a poor basis upon which to build high quality dynamic mental models. For animated diagrams to be effective as tools for learning, their design should be based upon explicit and principled modeling of the way learners process such depictions. This paper synthesizes recent research to propose a theoretical fra…

A única intuição – o único pensamento: Sobre a questão do sistema em Fichte e em Schopenhauer

2007

In this paper, the theme “intuition” and “thought” is related to the problem, virulent in the German Idealism, of the philosophical systematic. After the conception of system sustained by Kant in the “Architectonic of reason” was criticized as formalist, and, at the same time, the criticism on the rationalist systems, formerly exerted by the empiricism, developed in the 18th century, it emerged a methodological crisis in the philosophy at the end of that century, maybe expressed in the most intense way in one “fragment” written by Friedrich Schlegel: “It is equally mortal to the spirit to have a system and to have none”. Fichte and Schopenhauer deal with the system issue in the light of the…

INTUITION OF FAMILY ENTREPRENEURS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES

2005

Many business problems do not appear in ideal conditions. Sometimes decisions have to be made very quickly, or there is no explicit knowledge regarding a problem, or there is neither enough time nor enough information. Therefore, entrepreneurs are not always equipped to make the necessary decision or to solve the problem. A successful entrepreneur needs to rely more often on intuition in making decisions and in solving problems. Intuition can be considered, for example, as a sudden awareness of knowledge. Using this type of knowledge, a person knows facts or relations, but without knowing why.Previous studies have described the nature of intuition and they have also addressed the intuitive …

Type-2 intuitionistic fuzzy TODIM for intelligent decision-making under uncertainty and hesitancy

2022

AbstractThe classical TODIM considers the crisp numbers to handle the information. However, in a real-world applicative context, this information is bounded by noise and vagueness and hence uncertain. There are wide range of works in the literature which utilizes fuzzy sets to handle the uncertainty in the various dimensions. However, there is a constraint of hesitancy in such decision-making problems due to the involvement of various decision-makers. Also, in the TODIM method, decision-maker’s bounded rationality and psychological behavior are also taken into consideration which adds up the hesitation and considers the problem with higher dimension of uncertainty. There are various applica…

Rodzice jako partnerzy procesu rozbudzania dziecięcej aktywności matematycznej

2017

Children learn in a spontaneous and continuous way: when they look at an object, paying more attention to it, or when they notice something accidentally, when they perform simple actions of daily routine, or even when they turn to a grown-up with a question. Therefore, forming proper mathematical intuition should not be limited merely to activities at school, but should proceed natural, also during everyday activities, while playing games or talking to other children or the parents. The individual’s own activity plays a particular role in the development of mathematical skills in children. And it is parents who have the greatest say as regards the lines along which the child’s activity is d…

When Stolper-Samuelson Does Not Apply: International Trade and Female Labor

2011

Whenever a country specializes on industries that use female labor intensively, its female labor force participation should increase. This intuition, which bases on the Stolper-Samuleson Theorem, may fail in a three-factor, two-good model. We develop a model where capital, male and female work are distinct factors of production. We follow an established assumption and postulate that capital accumulation closes the gender wage gap. In this setup, the Stolper-Samuleson based intuition fails necessarily: the gender wage gap widens in countries that specialize on sectors intensive in female labor, and vice versa.

¿Intuición o confianza racional?

Intuition or rational trust?
  
  
 Resumen: Según la concepción tradicional, la justificación de las creencias lógicas básicas —entendida tanto inferencial como no-inferencialmente— no logra evitar ni la circularidad, ni la regresión al infinito. Justificar reglas básicas lógicas inferencialmente conlleva usar principios lógicos con lo que se genera un círculo vicioso. Apelar a fuentes básicas como la intuición, no sortea todas las dificultades. Argumentaré que es preciso recurrir a una “habilitación” (entitlement), una sub-clase dentro de las garantías epistémicas. Si además aceptamos que intuir es algo que hacemos y no algo que nos pasa, podemos sostener que la intuición, …
