Levi on Money Pumps and Diachronic Dutch-Book Arguments

My focus is on pragmatic arguments for various ‘rationality constraints’ on a decision maker’s state of mind: on his beliefs or preferences. An argument of this kind purports to show that a violator of a given constraint can be exposed to a decision problem in which he will act to his guaranteed disadvantage. Dramatically put, he can be exploited by a clever bookie who doesn’t know more than the a

Modeling of the acoustical field due to a jet engine with ground effect

The principal noise source for a jet engine is associated with the jet exhaust. The acoustical field that is generated by a jet engine before the take-off is considered. The turbulent jet and the mixing of the hot exhaust gas with the cold surrounding air forms an acoustical source. The compressible Navier-Stokes equations describe both flow field as well as sound generation. The acoustic theory u

History of Indo-European languages: alignment change as a clue

Grammatical structure of Indo-European (IE) languages may appear to be diverse, but it is in fact more systematic than one may think. What is significant in explanation is alignment, i.e. differences represent different stages in the alignment change from active one to accusative one. This means that the grammatical structure was earlier organised by aspectual differences between perfective and im

Poverty and Democracy : the Brazilian Experience

We ask what caused poverty to decline in Brazil over the last decade. Our contribution lies in the introduction of a structural change perspective to assess the evolution of poverty by considering the sectoral impact of growth and the social policies at the federal, state and municipal level. We confirm previous findings in the literature that the service sector rather than agriculture contributes

Do socio-technical systems cognise?

The view that an agent’s cognitive processes sometimes include proper parts found outside the skin and skull of the agent is gaining increasing acceptance in philosophy of mind. One main empirical touchstone for this so-called active externalism is Edwin Hutchins’ theory of distributed cognition (DCog). However, the connection between DCog and active externalism is far from clear. While active ext
