  • Senderowicz discusses Kant Allison's transcendental synthesis, which provides an account of intellectual and figurative synthesis. Here, he points out some negative implications that concern the possibility of knowing that the categories are applicable to objects of sensible intuition by analyzing the passage that introduces figurative synthesis.

  • Image segmentation: A major breakthrough developed by piXlogic relates to methods for automatically segmenting an image. PiXserve can do this without a priori (before the fact) knowledge of the image's contents, and in such a way that the segmentation products can correspond to what humans would consider to be "logical visual objects." Simply put, piXserve is able to identify and catalog all the separate objects in an image, thus enabling search on individual components of the image, Web search technologies are extremely good at understanding and identifying text. The problem arises in searches for images, because images are NOT text. As anyone who regularly works with computers can attest, mainstream recognition of visual images is not a computer's strong suit -- or at least not yet. T...

  • At the beginning of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell put forward the concept of an "analytic empiricism," an approach which he held to "eliminate Pythagoreanism from the principles of mathematics, and to combine empiricism with an interest in the deductive parts of human knowledge,"1 thus overcoming the limitations of both empiricism and rationalism which he saw to be at the heart of philosophy. Whilst the foundations of mathematics had not been clarified, a move to mathematics as method was impossible, which explains Russell's early Hegelian tendencies, but the solid foundations given to the infinitesimal calculus by Weierstrass, and the solution of Leibniz's paradox by Cantor seemed to Russell to open up the possibility of a new method, which would allow the discrete analysis ...

  • Foucault's analysis, I contend, can be considered in terms of a strategic model which focuses not so much on the question of right, but rather on the mechanisms through which power effects are produced.2 Instead of fixing the legitimacy of science or asking what is the proper domain of a certain knowledge, Foucault examines the role of certain knowledges in the production of effects of power. Science, allied with state bureaucratization, disempowers the public's opinion formation and uncouples political decision from the public sphere of the lifeworld; democratic decision-making loses its function, and state technocrats take over the role in the decision-making of social and political issues. In Knowledge and Human Interests, Habermas differentiates three distinct forms of knowledge, ...

  • This Essay examines the subprime crisis through the lenses of the known, the unknown, and the unknowable in financial policymaking. The first two Parts focus on information and incentive problems faced by monetary policymakers and prudential supervisors in trying to prevent crises. The third Part emphasizes challenges that arise when preventative measures fail and financial policymakers must manage financial crises. These include pressures to oversupply public subsidies in the short-run at the risk of providing incentives for institutions to take greater risks and cause larger crises in the long run, and conflicts and gaps between micro- and macro-prudential supervision. Some micro-prudential regulation may make individual institutions safer, while increasing the vulnerability of the fi...
