Peer review. Where next? | Sound and Fury
https://incompetnce.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/peer-review-where-next
Peer review. Where next? A number of things have recently led me to wonder about the future of academic peer review. First there was George Monbiot on academic publishers. I think he’s probably right that something has to give. Especially in these days where every academic has a website, and many papers are available on their websites, or on preprint servers like ArXiv. And the PhilSci Archive. Indeed, Princeton has made its faculty put research in an open access site! So the question is, how. Acting as ...

Is a PhD student at LSE’s Philosophy department. When his thesis isn’t going well, he writes LaTeX packages and contributes to TeX.sx. Paulo is a Brazilian developer, programmer and somehow a insanely frustrated mathematician wannabe. He uses LaTeX for virtually everything, specially stuff related to his areas of interest: Automata Theory, Adaptive Technology and Programming Languages. Stefan is one of the moderators of TeX.sx. And maintains TeXample.net. And beyond. He is a TeX.sx moderator. As well as ...

Factivity of knowledge makes it redundant | Sound and Fury
https://incompetnce.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/factivity-of-knowledge-makes-it-redundant
Factivity of knowledge makes it redundant. The Sun orbited the Earth” or “Ptolemy. The Sun orbited the Earth.” This is an intuition I just do not share. I take the point that perhaps it is a little odd to suggest Ptolemy knew the Sun orbited the Earth, but take modern instances of scientific “knowledge”: I. There are electrons; I. That nothing can go faster than light. Accepting that scientific knowledge is fallible, does that mean that it is. And what’s the. No: once we’ve a picture of their. Of belief ...

Is there a version of the equal weight view of disagreement that is reasonable and non trivial? | Sound and Fury
https://incompetnce.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/is-there-a-version-of-the-equal-weight-view-of-disagreement-that-is-reasonable-and-non-trivial
Is there a version of the equal weight view of disagreement that is reasonable and non trivial? Leave a comment ». So, I haven’t read up on the “epistemic significance of disagreement” literature (as may become obvious below). I do intend to, but I currently have several other things on the go. I’ve seen a couple of talks/blog posts that seem to add to this sort discussion, so I have a rough idea of what it’s about. She checks her calculation and concludes that she was right and Bob has made an error.

Leave a comment ». Since writing this moan, and then failing to actually post it, I’ve learned that LSE doesn’t have “Gold” Open Access (free access to published manuscripts by LSE staff) but it does have “Green” Open Access: a preprint archive for papers by LSE academics. Here it is. I suppose I’ll look at it more closely when I get proofs of my review. October 14, 2010 at 5:14 pm. Leave a comment ». We can think of a bet as a list of ordered pairs of an event and a number:. Are the events and the.

Lewis’ semantics of counterfactuals entails determinism | Sound and Fury
https://incompetnce.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/lewis-semantics-of-counterfactuals-entails-determinism
Lewis’ semantics of counterfactuals entails determinism. Leave a comment ». Here’s a tired old subject that I’m going to have a go at. First, a confession: I’ve never read Lewis’. Take your favourite counterfactual: I’ll be using “If Oswald hadn’t shot Kennedy, he would still be alive”. (Linguistic point: this is ambiguous. Is the “he” Kennedy or Oswald? I’m pretending it means Kennedy.) What we want is a false antecedent, a false conclusion, but a. Is true. If this is also a world where. Well, I claim t...

Exam tactics | Sound and Fury
https://incompetnce.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/exam-tactics
Leave a comment ». Say you have 20 essay topics. You know that there will be 9 exam questions and you’ll be expected to answer 4 questions. How many topics ought you revise? The simplest answer is 15. If you study 15 topics, even if all 5 topics you didn’t study get picked, there’ll be 4 left that you did study (because 9 get picked, remember). But that’s still a lot of topics! If you studied 14 topics, what are the odds that you’d only have 3 revised topics on the exam? There’s also the question o...
