    '' But at this point the situation changed to some extent through quantum theory and therefore we may now come to a comparison of Descartes's philosophical system with our present situation in modern physics. It has been pointed out before that in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory we can indeed proceed without mentioning ...

  • That's an interesting comment, Z-B

    at least to a published ''Chomskyan'' syntactician like me. In ''Cartesian Linguistcis'' and ''Language and Mind'', Chomsky stated the connection between his form of linguistics and his anti-Skinner/anti-behaviorist position most clearly: the human capability to use language APPROPRIATELY - to invent brand-new sentences that are appropriate to ...

  • The Necessity of God in Science

    This is a spin off of the soul thread, and it deals directly with the idea of the relationship between philosophy and science, even though one fraud tried to claim that they were separate.

    Three responses: 1) ''a lot to advance computer linguistics''? How about computer science in general? The whole notion of ''compiler'' is basd on the notion of a syntax-directed formal language which in turn is based on Noam's ''phrase-structure grammars'' (between finite-state ''Markov'' grammas and ''transfomrational (Turing machine) ...
