Book Synopsis Lotteries, Knowledge, and Rational Belief by : Igor Douven
Download or read book Lotteries, Knowledge, and Rational Belief written by Igor Douven and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We talk and think about our beliefs both in a categorical (yes/no) and in a graded way. How do the two kinds of belief hang together? The most straightforward answer is that we believe something categorically if we believe it to a high enough degree. But this seemingly obvious, near-platitudinous claim is known to give rise to a paradox commonly known as the 'lottery paradox' – at least when it is coupled with some further seeming near-platitudes about belief. How to resolve that paradox has been a matter of intense philosophical debate for over fifty years. This volume offers a collection of newly commissioned essays on the subject, all of which provide compelling reasons for rethinking many of the fundamentals of the debate.

Book Synopsis Knowledge and Practical Interests by : Jason Stanley
Download or read book Knowledge and Practical Interests written by Jason Stanley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jason Stanley presents a startling and provocative claim about knowledge: that whether or not someone knows a proposition at a given time is in part determined by his or her practical interests, i.e. by how much is at stake for that person at that time. In defending this thesis, Stanley introduces readers to a number of strategies for resolving philosophical paradox, making the book essential not just for specialists in epistemology but for all philosophers interested in philosophical methodology. Since a number of his strategies appeal to linguistic evidence, it will be of great interest to linguists as well.

Book Synopsis The Genetic Lottery by : Kathryn Paige Harden
Download or read book The Genetic Lottery written by Kathryn Paige Harden and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and timely case for how the science of genetics can help create a more just and equal society In recent years, scientists like Kathryn Paige Harden have shown that DNA makes us different, in our personalities and in our health—and in ways that matter for educational and economic success in our current society. In The Genetic Lottery, Harden introduces readers to the latest genetic science, dismantling dangerous ideas about racial superiority and challenging us to grapple with what equality really means in a world where people are born different. Weaving together personal stories with scientific evidence, Harden shows why our refusal to recognize the power of DNA perpetuates the myth of meritocracy, and argues that we must acknowledge the role of genetic luck if we are ever to create a fair society. Reclaiming genetic science from the legacy of eugenics, this groundbreaking book offers a bold new vision of society where everyone thrives, regardless of how one fares in the genetic lottery.

Book Synopsis Casanova's Lottery by : Stephen M. Stigler
Download or read book Casanova's Lottery written by Stephen M. Stigler and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1994, historian Stephen Stigler placed a mail-order purchase for a rare bit of ephemera from a French bookstore: a lottery Almanac from 1834. It contained the winning numbers for the entire span of the French Loterie from 1758 onward, including details on prizes actually awarded-difficult data to come by-as well as hand-written notes by an early owner. Stigler was fascinated with what he saw about how the Loterie was carried out, who bought tickets, and what size bets they placed, and so in the decades that followed he amassed booklets, legal documents, advertising bills, notices, contracts, and tickets. His own collection and extensive additional research helped him piece together the Loterie's remarkable inner workings, as well as its implications for how we understand the history of risk more broadly. In the 1750s at the urging of famed philandering adventurer Giocomo Casanova (who had recently escaped from a Venetian prison by means of a sharpened iron, an accomplice, a rope of bed sheets, and a stolen gondola), the French state began to embrace risk in its approach to the Loterie. The prize amounts varied depending on the number of tickets bought, and the amount of the bet was determined by each individual bettor. The state could lose money on any individual lot but was statistically guaranteed it would come out on top in the long run. Stigler follows the Loterie from its curious inception to a 1776 expansion, to its interruption during the French Revolution (but only with the Terror of 1793), to its renewal in 1797 and further expansion, and finally to its suppression in 1836, examining throughout the wider question of how members of the public came to trust in new financial technologies and believe in their value"--
Book Synopsis The Case for Contextualism by : Keith DeRose
Download or read book The Case for Contextualism written by Keith DeRose and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's an obvious enough observation that the standards that govern whether ordinary speakers will say that someone knows something vary with context: What we are happy to call "knowledge" in some ("low-standards") contexts we'll deny is "knowledge" in other ("high-standards") contexts. But do these varying standards for when ordinary speakers will attribute knowledge, and for when they are in some important sense warranted in attributing knowledge, reflect varying standards for when it is or would be true for them to attribute knowledge? Or are the standards that govern whether such claims are true always the same? And what are the implications for epistemology if these truth-conditions for knowledge claims shift with context? Contextualism, the view that the epistemic standards a subject must meet in order for a claim attributing "knowledge" to her to be true do vary with context, has been hotly debated in epistemology and philosophy of language during the last few decades. In The Case for Contextualism Keith DeRose offers a sustained state-of-the-art exposition and defense of the contextualist position, presenting and advancing the most powerful arguments in favor of the view and against its "invariantist" rivals, and responding to the most pressing objections facing contextualism.
Book Synopsis Dream a Lottery Win Tonight by : Larry Vingelman
Download or read book Dream a Lottery Win Tonight written by Larry Vingelman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I host book signings and give lectures on lottery prediction, people always ask, If lotteries are random draws, how can they be predicted? I always answer the same way. Lotteries are predictable because we have the ability to redirect subtle energy. With about 20 to 30 people present, I always ask how many are familiar with subtle energies. No one has ever raised their hand. And, why should they! It's only been within the last 30 to 40 years that Science discovered subtle energies and their role in manifesting human desire. It's only been within the last 10 years that this research and experimentation has been available to the general public in books like Lynne McTaggart's The Intention Experiment or Dr. Tiller's Conscious Acts of Creation. As a matter of fact, it has only been this year (2013) that Dr. Peter Higgs won the Nobel Prize for his work on the God Particle. The first subtle energy particle ever found at the new CERN accelerator. With these discoveries and experiments on the redirection of subtle energy, Scientists believe that a new technology has been born. Significantly more powerful than electromagnetic energy, significantly more powerful than nuclear energy, subtle energy technology will bring about new ways for human populations to interact, and new ways to communicate. It will significantly change our health care industry and influence the movement towards world peace. Most interesting, are the time and space attributes of subtle energy that allow the human mind to predict the future and consequently win lotteries. In the science of Quantum Mechanics, experimenting at the level of subtle energy, scientists found that their observations were affecting the outcome of the experiments. Somehow, the experimenter's consciousness was having an effect on our everyday reality of atoms and elements. This led to other experiments many concerning time displacement. As it turns out, subtle energy does not conform to the way you and I experience sequential time. Subtle energy is unbound by time and space - giving it predictive potential. A few daring researchers now understand subtle energy to be a vast field of potential energy supporting our everyday reality and somehow this energy is intimately interconnected with our minds. Consequently, at this stage of subtle energy technology research, researchers are studying ways that the mind can amplify subtle energies to manifest human desires for better health, wealth and abundance, world peace, lasting vitality, and prophetic vision. Dream a Lottery Win Tonight, specializes in the application of subtle energy and its prophetic vision attributes. We accomplish this by activating an energized intention near the mind's source of subtle energy. In this way, we amplify the intention to win a lottery. Of course, we could amplify any intention including those for better health or world peace. We decided on lottery prediction not because it was easy but because it was difficult and because the results are quantitative not subjective. In developing the skill of prophetic vision to win a lottery, we use an energized intention activated as close to the mind's Source of subtle energy as possible. To get close to the Source, we use mantras. These mantras resonate frequencies that are specific to the results we seek. In this case, we use the Lakshmi Mantra, used since antiquity to enhance ones abilities at games of chance. Once close to the source, we activate an energized intention. The intention is energized with emotion and bright sense visualizations. We perform this meditation just before retiring enhancing our dreams allowing us to predict a winning number. In this way, we use subtle energies to win the lottery. Larry Vingelman Author
