Filosofian ja empiiristen tieteiden suhdetta pohtii kiintoisasti Catarina Dutilh Novaesin DN-essee synteettisestä filosofiasta,

https://dailynous.com/2023/05/30/a-plea-for-synthetic-philosophy-guest-post/

Filosofiassa 'synteettinen' ei merkitse keinotekoista tai ei-analyyttista, vaan empiirisesti tiedettävissä olevan integrointia käsitteelliseen tutkimukseen ja pyrkimystä hahmottaa "metsää" erityistieteiden "puilta".

@AnarchoNinaWrites That’s interesting. I had an intelligence guy try to recruit me once after finding out that I had majored in philosophy. It was so random because I was working at a hotel at the time. I was always interested in all of the guests traveling through. #Analytic

#Analytic vs #Continental Philosophy: The Weirding of the Divide: https://www.thephilosopher1923.org/post/the-weirding-of-the-divide https://dfaria.eu/twtxt?hashtag=2023-07-02T18:21:19Z

p.50-1: "What is striking to a philosopher is that practically all English-speaking philosophy is included in the condemnation of inauthentic life: it is considered superficial and trivial. Nor is this merely a partisan view. When we have read Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, Rilke, Kafka, Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, and Camus, and then look at the prose of English and American philosophers and at the problems they discuss, our first impression may well be that they managed the rare feat of being frivolous and dull at once. Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, however, as well as Rilke and Kafka are dead; and except for Nietzsche they were not philosophers in any case. And when we compare the writings of our own philosophers with those of Jaspers, Heidegger, and Sartre's philosophic efforts, the picture is changed."

#Analytic and #continental philosophers were once united in their obsession with #language. But now new questions have arisen: https://aeon.co/essays/how-philosophys-obsession-with-language-unravelled https://dfaria.eu/news?hashtag=2023-05-17T08:00:02Z

150 (or so) Arguments for #Atheism

"A popular view in contemporary #analytic #philosophy of #religion is that while there are many arguments for #theism -- #cosmological, #ontological, and #teleological arguments; #moral arguments; arguments from #consciousness; etc. (...) -- there are only one or two arguments for atheism, viz., the problem of #evil and (more recently) the argument from #divine hiddenness.

This is a misconception. Here are well over 150"

#SoftMatter have just published the results of a project that Renato Assante, Davide Marenduzzo, Alexander Morozov, and I recently worked on together! What did we do and what’s new? Briefly…

#Microswimmer suspensions behave in a similar way to fluids containing kinesin and microtubules. Both systems can be described by the same system of three coupled nonlinear #PDEs.

A #LinearStabilityAnalysis of these equations suggests that variations in concentration across the system don’t significantly affect emergent #phaseBehaviour. How then can we explain #experiments that show visible inhomogeneities in #microtubule–#kinesin mixtures, for instance?

With increasing activity, we move away from the quiescent regime, past the onset of #SpontaneousFlow, and deeper into the active phase, where #nonlinearities become more important. What role do concentration inhomogeneities play here?

We investigated these questions, taking advantage of the #openSource #Dedalus #spectral framework to simulate the full nonlinear time evolution. This led us to predict a #novel regime of #spontaneous #microphaseSeparation into active (nematically ordered) and passive domains.

Active flow arrests macrophase separation in this regime, counteracting domain coarsening due to thermodynamic coupling between active matter concentration and #nematic order. As a result, domains reach a characteristic size that decreases with increasing activity.

This regime is one part of the #PhaseDiagram we mapped out. Along with our other findings, you can read all about it here!

#SoftMatter have just published the results of a project that Renato Assante, Davide Marenduzzo, Alexander Morozov, and I recently worked on together! What did we do and what’s new? Briefly…

The #hydrodynamic behaviour of inhomogeneous #activeNematic gels (such as extensile bundles of #cytoskeletal filaments or suspensions of low #ReynoldsNumber swimmers) can be described by the time evolution of three coupled #PDEs.

Standard #ActiveGel #theory concludes, from a #LinearStabilityAnalysis of these equations, that fluctuations in concentration don’t significantly affect emergent #phaseBehaviour. However, this leaves #experimental #observations of visible inhomogeneities in #microtubule–#kinesin mixtures unexplained. As we move away from the passive (quiescent) regime, past the onset of #SpontaneousFlow, and deeper into the active phase, #nonlinearities become more important. What role do concentration inhomogeneities play here?

Alongside #analytic techniques, we used an in-house #MPI-parallel code developed within the #Dedalus #spectral framework to investigate. We predict a #novel regime of #spontaneous #microphaseSeparation into active (nematically ordered) and passive domains. In this regime, active flow arrests macrophase separation, which is itself driven by the thermodynamic coupling between active matter concentration and #nematic order. As a result, domains do not #coarsen past a typical size, which decreases with increasing activity. This regime is one part of the #PhaseDiagram we mapped out.

Discussion on the birdie about the reasons I moved back to #perl rather than going #Python all the way , in the context of my #sequencing , #bioinformatics and #analytics work.
I just feel that #Perl + #rstats + #SQL in a column store engine eg #mariadb , or #duckdb or #clickhouse with the occasional #Python and C mode is a much better fit for many #analytic tasks

Do you think any #analytic philosopher would want to hear about the relevance of the #Lacanian big Other to #Wittgenstein's rule-following argument?

Introduction Time!
Well hello there stranger! 37 year old #dad , omninerd and general #art fan here.
I like #Maths : specifically #cohomology for the thrills and #data , for the bills (also some thrills: please refrain from kink shaming).
I like #philosophy : I read mostly #Levinas adjacent stuff these days, but I’ll rant on #analytic stuff any day.
Other sources of joy: #Boardgames #Beethoven #Bach #Rap #Prog #Zelda #roguelikes #Dnd #scifi #breadtube #leftism #spirituality #christianity #hiking

@edendestroyer
It all depends, as they say in @philosophy , what you mean by "define".
Are you looking for a dictionary definition to replace those in OED or Webster? Are you establishing an axiom - along with axioms on "concepts", "information", "comprehend" (which are doing a lot of heavy lifting here) and some lemme, to derive something? Are you being polemical, and looking for an, ever popular, "it's true by definition" result? Do you think that meaning derives from definition?

Anybody coming up with Mastodon #data #analytic tools...

For instance:
Get a user's comparative toots-replies-boosts stats?
Do something similar for all members of a particular instance?
Who's writing?
Where are all of the boosts for a message coming from?

I'm about as far from a "quant" or coder as you can get, but curious about ways to imagine and describe this new collective community.

@olive @philosophy

Quite right. I've managed to get through a lifetime of interest in philosophy without ever opening Heidegger or Nietzsche :)
