Yoldaki Fikirler15 - İlk 500'de Neden Hiçbir Üniversitemiz Yer Almıyor?Fikirlerinizi benimle paylaşabilirsiniz
Üniversitelerimiz hâli ortada. Değil ilk yüzde ilk 500'de dahi hiçbir üniversitemiz yer almıyor. Peki bunu gerçekten kaçımız önemsiyoruz. Ne kadarımızın umurunda bu mesele. Niteliksizleşen üniversitelerimiz ve niteliksiz akademisyenlerimiz ile utanılacak durumdayız. Kendi alanında takdire şayan çalışmaları olan hocalarımı tenzih ederim ama maalesef akademik kadroları dolduran insanlar yetersizlikleri ile ön plandalar.

MCMP – LogicRevision and Logical Neutrality (or, a Plea for Ecumenical Reasons)Jack Woods (Bilkent) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (23 April, 2015) titled "Revision and Logical Neutrality (or, a Plea for Ecumenical Reasons)". Abstract: What reasons are there for revising our logic? One natural suggestion is that we should move from a logical theory L to L′ when L′ does “better” than L in terms of “simplicity, ontological leanness (Occam’s razor), explanatory power, a low degree of ad hocness, unity, [and] fruitfulness.” (Priest 2006, 147) This is to apply relatively familiar standards of scientific theory choice, such as inference to the best explanation, to the case of logic. There are special difficulties in the case of...2015-05-1100 min
