Universities can now download Eprints 1.0 from eprints.org

by Stevan Harnad

The operational release of the Eprints archive-creating software is now down-loadable from http://www.eprints.org The eprints.org software will create Eprints Archives that are interoperable and compliant with the current Open Archives protocol. The software is free, uses only free software, and can be installed and maintained easily. It is modular, and written to be easily upgraded with each upgrade of the Open Archives protocol: http://www.openarchives.org All Eprint Archives created with the eprints.org software are fully interoperable, and can be registered as Open Archive Data Providers: http://www.openarchives.org/sfc/sfc_archives.htm This means that their contents can then in turn all be harvested, jointly indexed, and jointly searched with all the other Eprint Archives through Open Archive Service Providers <http://www.openarchives.org/sfc/sfc_archives.htm> such as http://arc.cs.odu.edu All Eprints can also be citation-interlinked: http://opcit.eprints.org so that the research literature can be navigated by citation. It will also be possible to monitor research impact in powerful new ways, once the eprints are up there: http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Papers/Harnad/harnad00.citation.htm The Eprints software was expressly designed so that universities and research institutions worldwide can now immediately create their own Open Archives, in which their researchers in all disciplines can (immediately) self-archive their research -- both pre-refereeing preprints and refereed postprints. http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Tp/1-Anomalous-Picture/sld001.htm http://cogsci.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Tp/2-Resolving-the-Anomaly/sld001.htm As soon as universities create their own Eprint Archives and their researchers self-archive their papers in them, the world's refereed research literature will be freed from all its current needless access-barriers and impact-barriers. Footnote: HISTORY IS WATCHING. The means of freeing the entire refereed research literature (within a matter of days, in principle!) is now within the reach of the world research community. If you have a published paper of your own that has not reached its full potential readership, if there is a published paper by someone else that you or your university cannot afford to access, or cannot access immediately, or if your university has a "serials crisis" preventing its researchers from accessing the entire refereed research corpus -- AND you have NOT self-archived your own papers -- then, as of now, you have only yourself to blame (and history will be the judge, in hindsight)! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Stevan Harnad harnad(a)cogsci.soton.ac.uk Professor of Cognitive Science harnad(a)princeton.edu Department of Electronics and phone: +44 23-80 592-582 Computer Science fax: +44 23-80 592-865 University of Southampton http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/ Highfield, Southampton http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/ SO17 1BJ UNITED KINGDOM NOTE: A complete archive of the ongoing discussion of providing free access to the refereed journal literature online is available at the American Scientist September Forum (98 & 99 & 00): http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/september98-forum.html You may join the list at the site above.

TUDOMANYFILOZOFIA SZEMINARIUM, B. B o r s t n e r

by Laszlo E. Szabo

ELTE TTK Tudomanytortenet es Tudomanyfilozofia Tanszek Budapest, Pazmany P. setany 1/A TUDOMANYFILOZOFIA SZEMINARIUM (http://hps.elte.hu/seminar) ________________________ December 11. 16:00 6. em. 6.54 B o j a n B o r s t n e r Department of Philosophy, University of Maribor, Slovenija STATES OF AFFAIRS, UNIVERSALS AND SINGULAR CAUSATION In this lecture we search for a theory that will (at least implicitly) define the concept of causation. 1. Ontology (i)The world contains a number of individuals. Individuals are first order particulars, which are things taken along with all their properties. (ii) Properties and relations are fundamental constituents of the world. What properties and relations there are can not be determinate a priori, but a posterior, empirically, on the basis of total science. (iii) Properties and relations are conceived of as universals. (iv) Individuals, properties and relations are constituents of states of affairs (v) There are complex and simple properties. (vi) Complex properties have constituents that are: (a) not ultimate - complexity without simple constituents (b) Ultimate - simple properties that are finite or infinite in number - complexity may be finite or infinite. 2. Theory of causation 2.1 We search for a theory that will (at least) implicitly define the concept of causation. Our goal is not the theory that is just contingently true. A theory of causation must be analytically true and it must offer an analysis of the concept of causation that must be true in all possible worlds (not just in actual). 2.2 Hume, in the Treatise, famously offered consecutive pairs of definitions of causation (Hume, 1975, 170) 2.3 The conclusion that we can derive from Hume's ideas is: (i) causation is not directly observable (ii) causation can not be a primitive relation between events (iii) therefore, causation is reducible to some other items (in Hume's case to the contiguity and precendency) 3. Basic features 3.1 A causal relation is any relation between states of affairs that is irreflexive and asymmetric, which excludes loops, and which satisfies the open sentence T. 3.2 Some relations between states of affairs are genuine relations. 3.3 No relation relates less than two particulars - no particulars can be related to itself. 3.4 All genuine relations are necessarily irreflexive: 3.5 If a causal relation is not necessarily antysymmetric then there is no distinction between a causal relation and nomic necessity. 3.51 Nomic necessitation: (i) it is a law that anything with property F also has property G. The first thesis is compatible with: it is a law that anything with property G has property F. (ii) If having property F is causally necessary for having property G, it must be a law that whatever has property F has property G. (iii) If having F is causally sufficient for having G, it must be a law that whatever has G also has F. (iv) If having F is both causally necessarily and causally sufficient for having G, it must be a law that something has property F if and only if it has property G. (v) Therefore, the relation of nomic necessitation cannot be necessarily asymmetric. 3.52 Causation There is a popular theory that defines causation as some sort of "necessary connection. 3.521 Causal relation: (i) if SOA S causes SOA U it cannot be the case that U causes S. (ii) causal relation is necessarily asymmetric. 3.522 Causal necessitation: (i) If having property F is a causally sufficient condition for having property G, then having property G cannot be a causally sufficient condition for having property F. (ii) If having F is causally sufficient condition for having G, then having G is causally sufficient condition for F iff G is identical with F. (iii) causal necessitation is necessarily asymmetric. If a relation R is a causal relation then it is asymmetric, transitive and irreflexive. 3.6 Laws of nature and causality Laws are second order state of affairs. They involve relations between universals, which nomically necessitate corresponding statements about first order particulars (SOA) 3.61 Causal laws are laws that involve causal relations. 3.62 Causal laws and necessary and sufficient conditions are global; causal relation is local. 3.64 The existence of a causal relation does not by itself guarantee the existence of a law. 3.65 Causal explanation subsumes SOAs (events) under the causal relation. 3.66 Causal explanation (why) is not reduced to nomological explanation (how). 4. Conclusion If the singularist theory of causation is correct then it is logically possible for there to be causally related SOAs that do no fall under any law and it is possible to explicate the theory of causation without any reference to laws of nature. However, it does not exclude the possibility that there are laws of nature and singular causal relation could be an instantiation of such a law. A szeminaarium szervez'oje: E.
