Download or read book The Normative Web written by Terence Cuneo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many philosophers hold antirealist views about morality, according to which moral facts or truths do not exist. Does this imply that other types of normative facts, such as epistemic facts, do not exist? The Normative Web develops a positive answer to this question. By means of an analogy between moral and epistemic facts, Terence Cuneo presents a compelling defence of robust realism in ethics. In so doing, he engages with a range of antirealist positions in epistemology such as error theories, expressivist views, and reductionist views of epistemic reasons.

Download or read book Inventive Minds written by Marvin Minsky and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six essays by artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky on how education can foster inventiveness, paired with commentary by Minsky's former colleagues and students. Marvin Minsky was a pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence whose work led to both theoretical and practical advances. His work was motivated not only by technological advancement but also by the desire to understand the workings of our own minds. Minsky's insights about the mind provide fresh perspectives on education and how children learn. This book collects for the first time six essays by Minsky on children, learning, and the potential of computers in school to enrich children's development. In these essays Minsky discusses the shortcomings of conventional education (particularly in mathematics) and considers alternative approaches; reflects on the role of mentors; describes higher-level strategies for thinking across domains; and suggests projects for children to pursue. Each essay is paired with commentary by one of Minsky's former colleagues or students, which identifies Minsky's key ideas and connects his writings to current research. Minsky once observed that in traditional teaching, “instead of promoting inventiveness, we focus on preventing mistakes.” These essays offer Minsky's unique insights into how education can foster inventiveness. Commentary by Hal Abelson, Walter Bender, Alan Kay, Margaret Minsky, Brian Silverman, Gary Stager, Mike Travers, Patrick Henry Winston
Download or read book Immaculate Consumption written by Deena Solomon and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that the $600 billion-a-year global weight loss industry has a 95 percent failure rate for weight loss sustainability? Immaculate Consumption: The Path to Lifelong Weight Management offers a scientifically based weight loss program designed to empower dieters to achieve long-lasting results. After years of yo-yo dieting and spinning wheels trying various commercial diets, author Deena Solomon was unhealthy and emotionally disheartened. She realized the traditional weight loss methodology -- blind adherence to rules, forbidden foods, mandatory compliance -- failed to adequately prepare dieters to adapt to the ever-changing temptations, often leading to an unrecoverable relapse. The Immaculate Consumption method is refreshingly different. There are no forbidden foods or abstinence-only models. Using real-life, relatable interactions with former clients to illustrate her methods, Dr. Solomon asks dieters to become scientific researchers into their own food habits and psychology, enabling them to take personal responsibility for their eating habits in a positive way. And with a documented 84 percent success rate, the Immaculate Consumption model has proven successful in maintaining long-term weight loss. Learn how to: • Be the competent and proactive captain at the helm of your own journey • Use scientifically valid empirical evidence and apply it to your own custom weight loss plan • Profoundly change your relationship with food • Effectively use tools such as scientific observation and food ledgers to guide you during both everyday and anomalous meal situations • Shed the persistent shame and guilt from having "failed" at other commercial diets This revolutionary new approach to weight loss may help you shed those extra pounds for good.
