Abstract This essay builds upon Rebecca Kukla's constructive treatment of Dennettian stances as embodied coping strategies, to extend a conversation previously initiated by John Haugeland about Daniel Dennett on stances and real patterns and Martin Heidegger on the ontological difference. This comparison is mutually illuminating. It advances three underdeveloped issues in Heidegger: Dasein's ‘bodily nature’, the import of Heidegger's ontological pluralism for object identity, and how clarification of the sense of being in general bears on the manifold senses of being. It more sharply differentiates Kukla's and Dennett's understandings of stances and the real. Finally, it allows for further development of Kukla's account of Dennettian stances as embodied. These developments show greater complexity than what Kukla calls ‘the wide and counterfactually flexible repertoire of bodily positions’ that make up an embodied stance. They also show how different stances are compared and assessed even though Kukla rightly denies the possibility of a normative or explanatory philosophical ‘meta-stance’.

The Relationship

In the late 1950sHeidegger revived the notion of the ,ontological difference‘, which he considered to be the constitution for the meaning of both ,being‘ (Sein) and the ,entity‘ (Seiendes). The unifying process of this constitution bore the name ,discharge‘ (Austrag) and expressed the dynamic, static, and generic features of ,being‘. But even this new description means only the designation for the primordial unconcealedness (Unverborgenheit), which according to Heidegger is the ,matter of thinking‘ (Sache des Denkens). And again, Heidegger brings just another notion to express that the ,nearness‘ as the comprising meaning of presence (Anwesen) is the true name for ,world‘. Thus, Heideggers notions for ,being‘ as presence, ,staying dwelling‘, ,enowing‘ (Ereignis), and ,discharge‘ speak about his turning away from thinking of ,being‘(ontology) and his turning towards ,topology‘, where the relationship of ,world and thing‘ is preferred to the ,ontological difference‘ between ,being‘ and the ,entity‘.

Argumentation Systems

Numerous argumentation systems have been proposed in the literature. Yet there often appears to be a shortfall between proposed systems and possible applications. In other words, there seems to be a need for further development of proposals for argumentation systems before they can be used widely in decision-support or knowledge management. I believe that this shortfall can be bridged by taking a hybrid approach. Whilst formal foundations are vital, systems that incorporate some of the practical ideas found in some of the informal approaches may make the resulting hybrid systems more useful. In informal approaches, there is often an emphasis on using graphical notation with symbols that relate more closely to the real-world concepts to be modelled. There may also be the incorporation of an argument ontology oriented to the user domain. Furthermore, in informal approaches there can be greater consideration of how users interact with the models, such as allowing users to edit arguments and to weight influences on graphs representing arguments. In this paper, I discuss some of the features of argumentation, review some key formal argumentation systems, identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of these formal proposals and finally consider some ways to develop formal proposals to give hybrid argumentation systems. To focus my discussions, I will consider some applications, in particular an application in analysing structured news reports.

The World

This chapter examines the philosophical reflections of Eugen Fink and Martin Heidegger regarding worldliness and mortality. For Fink, the problematic of finitude was inseparable from the problem of the worldliness of the world—that is, from the recognition of the non-thingly status of the world and of what he called “cosmological difference,” which is both different from and similar to Heideggerian ontological difference. Fink also developed the idea that death, along with work, the battle for domination, love, and play, properly characterize the humanity of humans. The chapter considers the difficulty of thinking the cosmological difference on the model of the ontological difference, along with Fink's argument that the relations to being and the relations to the world are not the same thing—in other words, cosmology must encompass ontology rather than the inverse.

Ways Of Being

Abstract Ontological Pluralism is the thesis that there are different ways of being. In his recent paper, ‘The only way to be’, Trenton Merricks has presented an important challenge to Pluralism in the form of a dilemma. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, I argue that Merricks’s argument against Pluralism, as stated, is unsound. I will argue that one horn of the dilemma is unproblematic for contemporary versions of Pluralism, defended by Jason Turner and Kris McDaniel, that are formulated in the framework of Ted Sider. However, my second task is to provide a new dilemma against Pluralism, which, when combined with Merricks’s arguments, constitutes a sound argument against all forms of Pluralism. The new dilemma will reveal that the real problem with Ontological Pluralism is its conflict with Ted Sider’s principle of Purity.

Psychological Experiments

Personal structures were defined as structures pairing judgments and sets of environmental states. It was shown how either the judgments or environmental sets of these structures could be treated both as Boolean algebras and as Boolean rings. It was shown that a basis for the personal structures always existed, and this basis made it possible uniquely to construct the remainder of the personal structure. Some discussion was presented concerning the usefulness of the concepts of personal structure and a basis for a personal structure. These discussions were, however, very preliminary, and the real usefulness of this approach rests upon developments in future papers, in particular the further development of the concept of uncertain judgment. It may be that this concept of an uncertain judgment will have to “absorb” much of the variability usually found in psychological experiments. In this connection it is to be noted that we have thus far not limited the concept of judgment to a single instant in time, nor even to a continuous interval in time, thus permitting the concept of uncertain judgment to include as factors, judgments made over a series of trials.

Definition Of

In this essay, we intend to approach how Peter Sloterdijk relates to the thinking of Martin Heidegger when questioning the humanist definition of man and proposing the notion of Anthropotechnics. To this end, the article begins by exposing Heidegger's conception of Technique and Humanism, and Ernst Jünger's influence on this issue. Then, when dealing with the question of being and ontological difference, the peculiar treatment that Sloterdijk offers to the ontological question is presented by articulating the history of being with a kind of genealogy of the clearing, bringing to the foreground certain intuitions of Friedrich Nietzsche about the beginnings of the human species. To conclude, Sloterdijk's thinking is developed, culminating in what he calls onto-anthropology, a notion presented in the work La Domestication de l’Être, and possible applications to issues related to biotechnology and contemporary media -which allows us to think a machinic history of being under the doubly complex bias of anthropology and ontology.

The iron ore of the Ljubija ore region for decades has a very great impact on the overall socialreproduction in the area of the city of Prijedor, RS, BiH, which is clearly connected with theconstant renewal and intensification of the production process. We have systematic geologicalexplorations last over 135 years and exploitation with certain interruptions over 100 years.Existing resources/reserves should be optimally activated in order to achieve the commercial viability ofinvestment funds invested in them, but also those that have yet to be invested, and a certain expectednational benefit, and at the same time an intensive geological exploration of the potential space forfinding new reserves in terms of iron ore base.The paper attempts to assess the real justification of further geological exploration and exploitation inthis area and the strategy for further development of iron ore mining.
