Learning Logic

Economic intelligence can be defined as a system of learning (logic of knowledge) and lobbying (logic of influence), largely based on access to information and interpersonal relationships. In the West, learning and lobbying are managed simultaneously, sequentially or separately. Can these systems, however, be developed in the same ways in Far Eastern countries, where messages are generally implicit and relations are usually gregarious? In particular, does knowledge depend on influence in these countries? Using the People’s Republic of China as an example, and based upon a survey of 353 people, the work in this article illustrates the need for adapting economic intelligence to international operations, and underlines the relevance of guanxi in building such a system in this country.

Participatory Performance

Experience is central to immersive, interactive and participative dramaturgies; however, it is that central feature of the work which poses a complex challenge to strategies of analysis and approaches to documentation. This is further exacerbated by the context of practice as research, (PaR), particularly in doctoral contexts. Over the last 10 years I have been developing a cognitivist approach to the documentation of immersive, interactive and participatory performance practices that is sympathetic to the experiential nature of those forms. In this paper, I draw out the epistemic logic of the practice-based (PBR) strategies that I have developed for documenting and disseminating the nature of the audience’s role. I explicate the three central strategies which inform that approach: the role of the ‘reflective participant’ and the process of ‘reflective hypermnesis’ as an act of ‘(remember)ing’ and the production of experiential documents of ‘(remember)ance’. The role of the “reflective participant,” and the (syn)aesthetic approach to capturing and disseminating the experiences of the “reflective participant” utilizes the process of hypermnesis as a form of praxis. The methodology of (remember)ing and (remember)ance that I explicate over the course of this article, employs “reflective hypermnesis” as a critical act for capturing and disseminating the experience of immersive dramaturgies.

Resumo: Reconhecendo a importância das especificidades de cada local, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o papel das universidades nos Sistemas de Inovação (SI), tendo os casos de Cuba e do Uruguai como estudo. A partir dessa análise, será possível destilar conceitos que proporcionem perspectivas úteis para a compreensão do caso brasileiro. O período atual traz novas dinâmicas ao sistema capitalista com desdobramentos para as lógicas da produção de conhecimento e da inovação. Logo, a emergência de um paradigma baseado em conhecimento e ciência, além das contradições impostas pelo processo de financeirização, tem posto em xeque o padrão tradicional de inserção das universidades nos SI. O avanço da financeirização sobre os orçamentos públicos em países como os da América Latina suscita questões relacionadas ao financiamento das universidades públicas. No esteio da lógica custo-benefício, surgem questões adicionais relacionadas ao impacto social e econômico efetivo das atividades universitárias. As universidades encontram-se compelidas a uma fase de transição em nível global. Essa transição, contudo, é um processo em andamento, pleno de incertezas e sem rumos únicos definidos.Palavras-chave: Sistema de Inovação. Universidade. América Latina.Abstract: Recognizing the importance of the specificities of each location, the aim of this paper is to analyze the role of universities in innovation systems (IS), taking as a study the case of Cuba and Uruguay. From this analysis, it will be possible to distill concepts that provide useful perspectives for understanding the Brazilian case. The present period brings new dynamics to the capitalist system with consequences for the logic of knowledge production and innovation. Thus, the emergence of a knowledge-based and science-based paradigm and the contradictions imposed by the financialization process have challenged the traditional pattern of insertion of universities in IS. The advancement of financialization over public budgets in countries such as Latin America raises questions related to the financing of public universities. Underlying the cost-benefit logic, additional questions arise regarding the effective social and economic impact of university activities. Universities are compelled to undergo a transitional phase at the global level. This transition, however, is an ongoing process, full of uncertainties and with no single defined directions. Keywords: Innovation System. University. Latin America.

Abstract Framework

A discussion of contextualist accounts of knowledge, and of the epistemic logic that is appropriate to them. David Lewis’s account is compared and contrasted with an alternative, a version of an information-theoretic, “normal conditions” analysis of knowledge. The two accounts are formulated in a common abstract framework making it possible to clarify the structural features they share, and those on which they differ. Central concerns of the discussion are the interplay between facts about the attributor’s context and facts about the subject of the knowledge attribution, and the dynamics of knowledge attribution as contexts shift in response to changes in the epistemic situation of both the attributors and the subject.

Untoward Consequence

All epistemic logics come with some idealizations. Not all such idealizations seem acceptable. A large family of epistemic logics assume that if ⌜φ‎⌝ and ⌜ψ‎⌝ are logically equivalent, so are ⌜One knows that φ‎⌝ and ⌜One knows that ψ‎⌝. This assumption, characteristic of normal epistemic logics but also of many non-normal ones, is acceptable only if the objects of knowledge can be construed as sets of possible worlds known under some mode of presentation or other, where knowledge-ascriptions do not yet make those modes explicit. Unlike fine-grained conceptions that reject the assumption, such coarse-grained conceptions of the objects of knowledge have the untoward consequence that failures of logical omniscience are no longer expressible in the logic. But even on coarse-grained conceptions, epistemic logic cannot be expected to be normal. Fine-grained conceptions allow for failures of logical omniscience to be expressible in the logic. On balance, fine-grained conceptions are to be preferred. Against this backdrop, candidate principles for inclusion in the logic of knowledge are critically reviewed in the light of general epistemological considerations. Very few survive closer scrutiny.

The aim of this paper is to explore the advantages deriving from the application of relating semantics in epistemic logic. As a first step, I will discuss two versions of relating semantics and how they can be differently exploited for studying modal and epistemic operators. Next, I consider several standard frameworks which are suitable for modelling knowledge and related notions, in both their implicit and their explicit form and present a simple strategy by virtue of which they can be associated with intuitive systems of relating logic. As a final step, I will focus on the logic of knowledge based on justification logic and show how relating semantics helps us to provide an elegant solution to some problems related to the standard interpretation of the explicit epistemic operators.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.
