This book investigates dispositions in grammatical-normative terms through a contrast between a naturalized paradigm and a Wittgenstein-inspired perspective. The book presents a conceptual analysis of the notion of disposition informed by Wittgenstein's and Ryle's philosophies to defend a normative notion of disposition. The book opens with a presentation of the current naturalized paradigm on dispositions, focusing on its main presuppositions and limits. It then turns to the discussion of a Wittgensteinian-inspired dispositionalism of knowing and understanding, before filling the exegetical gap about Wittgenstein's own use of the notion of disposition. The author critically engages with the current paradigm using Ryle's notion of category mistake, before concluding with a presentation of some philosophical views where a notion of normative disposition is employed. This book is essential reading for anyone searching for a new perspective on dispositions and will broaden the appeal of the Wittgensteinian tradition within contemporary analytic philosophy and, potentially, psychology as well.
Due to its transparency and dependability in secure online transactions, blockchain technology has grown in prominence in recent years. Several industries, including those of finance, healthcare, energy and utilities, manufacturing, retail marketing, entertainment and media, supply chains, e-commerce, and e-business, among others, use blockchain technology. In order to enable intelligent decision-making to prevent security assaults, particularly in permission-less blockchain platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and machine learning (ML) algorithms are used. By exploring the numerous use cases and security methods used in each of them, this book offers insight on the application of AI and ML in blockchain security principles. The book argues that it is crucial to include artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in blockchain technology in order to increase security.
The debate that has arisen around the concept of the Anthropocene forms the basis of this book. It investigates certain forms of environmental interrelation and 'ecological' sensitivity in the Graeco-Roman world. The notions of environmental depletion, exploitation and loss of plant species, and the ancients' knowledge of species diversity are the main cores of the research. The aim is to interrogate historical sources and diverse evidence and to analyse political and socioeconomic structures, according to a reading focused on possible antecedents, cultural prodromes, alignments of thought or divergencies, with respect to major modern environmental problems and current ecological conceptuali...
Questa opera non ha trama o avvicendamenti ne scene da seguire con troppa attenzione. E solo un’istantanea, pochi momenti, tutto si svolge nella durata di cinque, dieci minuti. Sono persone o meglio i loro pensieri a riempire queste pagine. Una variopinta giostra di vite umane, quelle degli spettatori di un concerto dentro e fuori il Palazzetto dello Sport di Bologna in una calda serata di maggio. E tutto si svolge questa sera, nell’ora dellospettacolo, tra gente estasiata, annoiata o semplicemente persa nelle proprie rifessioni, nei propri guai. Qui è di tanta gente che si parla, tutta venuta a sentir cantare lldo Focante. “Un frullato di persone, volti e voci, immagini, luoghi e pensieri mixati assieme senza una regola, in una riconoscibile realta. E un vortice, quello delle umanita che avrete di fronte se sarete disposti a entrare nella testa di tutte le persone che ho coinvolto in questo libro, se sarete disposti a reggerlo fno alla fne. Benvenuti al Live dunque, e che il concerto abbia inizio!”
Cinema is often perceived as a metropolitan medium – an entertainment product of the big city and for the big city. Yet film exhibitors have been bringing moving pictures to towns and villages since the early days of itinerant shows. This volume presents for the first time an exploration of the social, cultural and economic dynamics of film culture in the European countryside. Spanning more than a century of film exhibition from the early twentieth-century to the present day, Cinema Beyond the City examines the role that movie-going has played in small-town and rural communities across Europe. It documents an amazing diversity of sites and situations that are relevant for understanding his...
