Normativity and Control
ISBN: 9780198713234 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do we control what we believe? Are we responsible for what we believe? These two questions are connected: the kind of responsibility we have for our beliefs depends on the form of control that we have over them. For a number of years David Owens has investigated what form of control we must have over something in order to be held to the norms governing that thing, and has argued that belief, intention and action each require a different type of control. The forms of freedom appropriate to each of them vary, and so do the presuppositions of responsibility associated with each of them. Issues...

Shaping the Normative Landscape
ISBN: 9780199691500 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Shaping the Normative Landscape is an investigation of the value of obligations and of rights, of forgiveness, of consent and refusal, of promise and request. David Owens shows that these are all instruments by which we exercise control over our normative environment. Philosophers from Hume to Scanlon have supposed that when we make promises and give our consent, our real interest is in controlling (or being able to anticipate) what people will actually do and that our interest in rights and obligations is a by-product of this more fundamental interest. In fact, we value for its own...

Reason Without Freedom: The Problem of Epistemic Normativity
ISBN: 9780415223898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We call beliefs reasonable or unreasonable, justified or unjustified. What does this imply about belief? Does this imply that we are responsible for our beliefs and that we should be blamed for our unreasonable convictions? Or does it imply that we are in control of our beliefs and that what we believe is up to us? Reason Without Freedom argues that the major problems of epistemology have their roots in concerns about our control over and responsibility for belief. David Owens focuses on the arguments of Descartes, Locke and Hume - the founders of epistemology - and presents a critical...

Causes and Coincidences
ISBN: 9780521416504 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In an important departure from current theories of causation, David Owens proposes that coincidences have no causes, and that a cause is something that ensures that its effects are no coincidence. He elucidates the idea of a coincidence as an event that can be divided into constituent events, the nomological antecedents of which are independent of each other. He also suggests that causal facts can be analyzed in terms of non-causal facts, including relations of necessity. Thus, causation is defined in terms of coincidence, and coincidence without reference to causation. In a book that will be...

Creative People Must Be Stopped
ISBN: 9781118002902 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A framework for overcoming the six types of innovation killers
Everybody wants innovation--or do they? Creative People Must Be Stopped shows how individuals and organizations sabotage their own best intentions to encourage -outside the box- thinking. It shows that the antidote to this self-defeating behavior is to identify which of the six major types of constraints are hindering innovation: individual, group, organizational, industry-wide, societal, or technological. Once innovators and other leaders understand exactly which constraints are working against them and how to...

Iterative Learning Control: An Optimization Paradigm
ISBN: 9781447167709 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book develops a coherent and quite general theoretical approach to algorithm design for iterative learning control based on the use of operator representations and quadratic optimization concepts including the related ideas of inverse model control and gradient-based design. Using detailed examples taken from linear, discrete and continuous-time systems, the author gives the reader access to theories based on either signal or parameter optimization. Although the two approaches are shown to be related in a formal mathematical sense, the text presents them separately as their...

Stability Analysis for Linear Repetitive Processes
ISBN: 9783540552642 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Industrial processes such as long-wall coal cutting and me- tal rolling, together with certain areas of 2D signal and image processing, exhibit a repetitive, or multipass struc- ture characterized by a series of sweeps of passes through a known set of dynamics. The output, or pass profile, produced on each pass explicitly contributes to that produced on the text. This interpass interaction can lead to the growth of oscillations, and hence a form of instability, in the se- quence of pass profiles which require control strategies that explicitly incorporate the essential repetitive struc-...
