...Tyler Brooke-Wilson Perception solves computationally demanding problems at lightning fast speed. It recovers sophisticated representations of the world from degraded inputs, often in a matter of milliseconds. Any theory of perception must be able to explain how this is possible; in other words...

... that this causes problems if you think of it in the wrong way. Second, they had to conceive an appropriate relation between space and time, such that space and time could be combined in an understanding of speed . Before Aristotle, Greek thinkers could not with full generality think of one motion as faster...

.... On this view, a body’s instantaneous velocity is ontologically parasitic on its trajectory; the property of hav- ing at time t an instantaneous speed of, say, 5 centimeters per second is nothing over and above the property of having a trajectory, in the neighborhood of t, possessing a certain mathematical...

..., mechanists do not typically insist that putatively uniform regions of heat must reduce to uniform particle speeds. Rather they insist only that uniform regions of heat must reduce to averaged particle speeds. Consequently, even if, for example, we assume that a room has a uniform temperature...

... gargantuan and high-speed—you could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed. In his satire of the pandemic-era internet, Bo Burnham (2021) summed up our collective exhaustion: “Is it necessary that every single person on this planet, um, expresses every single opinion that they have on every single thing...

... of the wave function at a point x depends only on the wave function arbitrarily close to x. But I think there is more worth investigating here: after all, the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation may be a differential equation, but it is a parabolic differential equation, with no maximum speed...

... possibility of actually occurring—but a denier of minuscule propositions must say that such things are not just nonactual, but doxastically impossible for every rational agent. For a more realistic example, consider the proposition that the speed of light is exactly 2.998·10 8  m/s. 19 Although our...

... is controversial, and if it does hold, shouldn't it hold across the board: if it's introspectively obvious that some experiences are motion experiences, that is, shouldn't introspection reveal the speed of the moving object, the specific locations occupied throughout, and so on? Speaking of phenomenology...

... as theological determinism, logical fatalism, the relation of quantum mechanics to free will debates, and libertarian and compatibilist theories of freedom, the book will prove useful for philosophers wishing to get up to speed on this complex and much-discussed area. I use the term “philosophers” advisedly...

...). However, Plato goes on to say that he was unwilling to engage in Athenians politics because “the cor- ruption of our written laws and customs was proceeding at such amazing speed” (325d). 3. Disdain for the common man. Monoson argues that Plato’s parables—the ship of state, the wild beast...

... to accelerate a cricket ball past the speed of light. You don’t have that in your power because that would be to have it in your power to do something that would be a violation of some law of nature. And you do not have it in your power to do anything that would be (or cause) any violation of a law...

... Principle is true. Hall ( 1994 ) and Lewis ( 1994 ) independently came up with a fix. 13 The problem with the Principal Principle is that the agent supposes ρ is the chance function, but ρ is not brought up to speed on the fact that it is the chance function. So, they proposed: New...

... to speed. There is some temptation to say that the ideal in speed would require instantaneous travel—and so is probably unattainable in any universe with our physical laws. However, there is no temptation to say that the ideal in speed requires being faster than oneself. To be faster than oneself...

... universe as he put there in the beginning” (Principles of Philosophy 2, 36). The “amount of motion” con- served by God in the Cartesian system is the scalar quantity mv (roughly, size times speed), and its conservation is compatible with changes in the direction of motion in nature as a whole...

... and that trades some accuracy for speed by using heuristic processes. Other times we may use a slow but highly reliable System 2 process, whereby we deliberately and knowingly apply the rules of logic to the problem at hand. The epistemic status of a particular belief should depend on which of these two processes...

... all the standard features of a car, plus certain variable features that “though not strictly speaking required for speed, are indicative of it (for example, having a spoiler, or a large engine”) (96). Thus, many muscle cars look fit for their function of going fast and because of this, “possess...
