Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the study of entropy, the history of this general scientific category, the development of its theory, various aspects of the application of entropy. Entropy — a measure of chaos — is one of the basic concepts of modern natural science. Having arisen in thermodynamics in the first half of the XIX century, the concept of entropy has found numerous applications in many branches of knowledge, including in other branches of physics, engineering, computer science, biology, economics, social sciences. Particular attention is paid to the evolution of views on the concept of

Abstract This is an introductory text on the theory of modules over rings or, equivalently, over algebras, addressed to beginning graduate students. It stresses the importance of the categorical perspective and the use of homological tools. Modules are studied both from a classical point of view and a categorical one. For this purpose, rudiments of category theory, homological algebra and representations of quivers are introduced and applied in the study of module categories. After introducing such fundamental tools as the Hom functor and the tensor product comes the study of projective, injec

Joachim Lambek had a longstanding interest in the use of quaternions as a tool for explaining fundamental aspects of special relativity, dating from his days as a doctoral student to the end of his career.

Abstract:

Structural realists have made use of category theory in three ways. The first is as a meta-level formal framework for a structural realist account of the structure of scientific theories, either syntactic or semantic. The second is an appeal to the category-theoretic structure of some successful, successive or fundamental, physical theory to argue that this is the structure we should be physically committed to, either epistemically or ontically. The third is to use category theory as a conceptual tool to argue that it makes conceptual sense to talk of relations without relata and structures wi

In addition to the formal impulse control disorders (ICDs), high rates of trait impulsiveness, sensation seeking, and dissociative qualities have been noted in several other disorders that share similar phenomenological, clinical, and possibly biological characteristics. These proposed disorders include pathological skin picking, compulsive buying, problematic Internet use, and compulsive sexual behavior. Elevated rates of co-occurring ICDs within both the formal and proposed ICDs suggest that at least some of the proposed ICDs may share a common pathophysiology with some of the formal ICDs. A

The broad category of peers consists of a wide range of social relationships including best friends, peer groups, and crowds; important aspects include peer activities, relationships, and influence. Young people both select their friends (e.g., based on shared interests) and are influenced, or socialized, by their selected peers. When examining the dynamic periods of life that cover the t

The chapter depicts the iterative hierarchy of ZF and constructibility as gauge theories. Since gauge theories are prominently used in physics, so these are used in work on the continuum hypothesis, large cardinals, and provability in arithmetic. But mathematic

Print culture was expanding rapidly in the eighteenth century. Yet religious literature remained the largest category of printed book and Dissenters were significant contributors to this genre.

Religious works could be doctrinal, controversial, or practical and it was the latter category that had the largest lay readership.

This chapter shows that, as we “peer over the horizon” of Indian history, most of the evidence we have for the use of the categories Brahman and śramaṇa together in Indian sources actually does not portray them as mutually antagonistic. On the one hand, the two terms are often used together to describe a single category of “others” against which early Buddhists and Jains constructed their own identities. On the other hand, they are also used together in the early Buddhist texts and Aśokan inscriptions to refer to a single undifferentiated class of worthy recipients of offerings.

Abstract This book argues for identity metaphysics. It argues, in other words, for categorial monism in metaphysics: the view that there is, so far as concrete reality is concerned, only one truly fundamental metaphysical category: stuff. The use of the word ‘stuff’ is an attempt to escape some of the problematic connotations of more traditional terms like ‘substance’. That said, the meaning of ‘stuff’ may be considered to be close to the meaning of ‘substance’ once ‘substance’ has been completely detached from any ideas of substance as something that ‘bears’ or ‘has’ properties or qualities o
