  2. 1. Aesthetics as grammar : Wittgenstein and post-analytic philosophy of art

    Author : Simo Säätelä; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Aesthetics; Estetik; Aesthetics; Estetik; Aesthetics; estetik;

    Abstract : This work attempts to assess the significance of Ludwig Wittgenstein's later thought for philosophical aesthetics, both by showing its direct relevance and by criticizing certain prevalent misunderstandings of it. Chapter one deals with the application to philosophical aesthetics of the idea that philosophy is concerned with a grammatical investigation, which means clarification of concepts as well as therapeutical analysis of various philosophical diseases.

  4. 2. Cognitive and Moral Psychology in Renaissance Philosophy: A Study of Juan Luis Vives' De anima et vita

    Author : Lorenzo Casini; Lilli Alanen; Simo Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Juan Luis Vives; Renaissance; psychology; self-knowledge; scepticism; soul; body; immortality; perception; imagination; mind; will; memory; emotions.; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : This dissertation investigates the cognitive and moral psychology of Juan Luis Vives (1493-1540), paying close attention to the background out of which his views developed. Vives’ philosophical reflections on the human soul are mainly concentrated in his treatise De anima et vita (1538), which became very influential during the century after its publication. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and application of composite energy deposition kernels for photon therapy planning

    Author : Anders Eklöf; Simo Hyödynmaa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Energy deposition kernels; volume overlap algorithm; radiotherapy planning; photon pencil beams; treatment optimization; biological treatment objectives; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : In recent years, the use of optimization algorithms in radiation therapy planning has increased dramatically. All optimization algorithms as well as most modern implementations of conventional therapy planning, use energy deposition kernels as a fundamental part of the calculations. READ MORE

  6. 4. First-Order Logic and Classical Theism : Toward Logical Reorientation

    Author : Anders Kraal; Eberhard Herrmann; Mikael Stenmark; Simo Knuuttila; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; classical theism; divine simplicity; divine attributes; God; Augustine; Thomas Aquinas; first-order logic; formalization; argument-function analysis; quantifier analysis; bivalence; natural deduction; truth-bearer; inference; inference rule; logical validity; logical pluralism; logical monism; G. Frege; B. Russell; L. Wittgenstein; R. Carnap; J. Maritain; J. Salamucha; J. Bocheński; W.V.O. Quine.; Religion Theology; Religionsvetenskap Teologi;

    Abstract : This inquiry seeks an answer to the question whether classical theistic doctrines about the nature of God are amenable to formal analysis in terms of standard first-order logic. It is argued that due to the conceptual impact of classical theism’s doctrine of divine simplicity there is a good reason for answering this question in the negative. READ MORE

  7. 5. Kalman Filters for Nonlinear Systems and Heavy-Tailed Noise

    Author : Michael Roth; Fredrik Gustafsson; Simo Särkkä; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is on filtering in state space models. First, we examine approximate Kalman filters for nonlinear systems, where the optimal Bayesian filtering recursions cannot be solved exactly. These algorithms rely on the computation of certain expected values. READ MORE
