Belief in propositions has had a long and distinguished history in analytic philosophy. Three of the founding fathers of analytic philosophy, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and G. E. Moore, believed in propositions. Many philosophers since then have shared this belief; and the belief is widely, though certainly not universally, accepted among philosophers today. Among contemp...(展开全部)

From the Internet to networks of friendship, disease transmission, and even terrorism, the concept - and the reality - of networks has come to pervade modern society. But what exactly is a network? What different types of networks are there? Why are they interesting, and what can they tell us? In recent years, scientists from a range of fields - including mathematics, physics, ...(展开全部)

莱纳斯·鲍林（Linus Carl Pauling，1901年2月28日－1994年8月19日），美国著名化学家，量子化学和结构生物学的先驱者之一。1954年因在化学键方面的工作取得诺贝尔化学奖，1962年因反对核弹在地面测试的行动获得诺贝尔和平奖，成为两位获得诺贝尔奖不同奖项的人之一（另一人为居里夫人）。其后他主要的行动为支持维他命C在医学的功用。鲍林被认为是20世纪对化学科学影响最大的人之一。

Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature hit the philosophical world like a bombshell. Richard Rorty, a Princeton professor who had contributed to the analytic tradition in philosophy, was now attempting to shrug off all the central problems with which it had long been preoccupied. After publication, the Press was barely able to keep up with demand, and the book has since gone on to...(展开全部)

The Coercion Thesis has been a subject of longstanding debate, but legal positivist scholarship over the last several decades has concluded that coercion is not necessary for law. Coercion and the Nature of Law is concerned with reviving the Coercion Thesis, presenting a strong case for the inherently coercive nature of legal regulation, and arguing that anything properly chara...(展开全部)

Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? On this issue, two of the wor...(展开全部)

Many of the great minds of the past used mathematics to explore and then define the principal laws of nature. In this way
