The inaugural lecture was delivered by Professor Jonathan M. Garibaldi, the Head of School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham and the Editor-in- Chief of IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems. I am sure you will enjoy his “The Need for Fuzzy AI” in crystal logic and with nothing of fuzzy thinking.展开更多
本文给出定向范畴正向极限的一种简化计算方法,得到定理:设G是定向范畴,G’是G的满子范畴,若对于任意的A∈·bG,存在A’∈bG’,使得G(A,A’)≠φ,则lim G’=lim G. 根据Whtitehead群与正向极限的关系,此结果可简化研究Whitehead群...本文给出定向范畴正向极限的一种简化计算方法,得到定理:设G是定向范畴,G’是G的满子范畴,若对于任意的A∈·bG,存在A’∈bG’,使得G(A,A’)≠φ,则lim G’=lim G. 根据Whtitehead群与正向极限的关系,此结果可简化研究Whitehead群的结构,同时利用此结果给出了[1]中命题32的一种简单证明。展开更多

This paper aims to show how the philosophy of the organism of Whitehead,particularly in his work Process and Reality,can be seen as a metaphysical transmutation of Locke’s philosophy of knowledge.

I first investigate Whitehead＇s understanding of value, beauty and morality. Next, I show the affinity between Confucius and Whitehead in their understanding of value, beauty, and morality through an analysis of the Analects （Lunyu 论语）, focusing on the aesthetic aspects of Confucian ethics understood as role ethics. Finally, I argue that Confucian ways of moral self-cultivation can be viewed as methods that foster our disposition to create and sustain the beauty of experience.展开更多
