This book studies the problem of acquaintance against the
background of a more general theory of intentionality. Much of the
relevant background is laid out in the book I wrote with Ronald
McIntyre, Husserl and Intentionality (1982). However, since this
book is not focussed on HusserI, I shall not assume the reader's
familiarity with the prior book or with HusserI's philosophy. (I
have sometimes referred to this book-in progress as Acquaintance;
I've rounded out the title a bit. ) of The initial inspiration for
this work, in the 1970's, was a confluence ideas from the logic of
perception and the logic of demonstratives, ideas in which I found
phenomenological inspiration. These included Jaakko Hintikka's
notion of perceptual individuation, Romane Clark's account of a
demonstrative element in perception, David Kaplan's analysis of the
meaning (character and content) of demonstratives, and Hector-Neri
Castaneda's notion of quasi-indicators. I would later add to the
list John Perry's appraisal of belief reports involving indexicals
(extending Castaneda's ideas) and Hilary Putnam's Twin Earth
thought-experiments (complementing Clark's and Kaplan's ideas of
the same vintage). I want to thank Chuck Dement and Ronald McIntyre
for their responses to the first draft. For many discussions of
issues addressed in the book I thank David Blinder, Hubert Dreyfus,
Dagfinn F llesdal, Jaakko Hintikka, David Kaplan, Ronald McIntyre,
Izchak Miller, Esa Saarinen, John Searle, and Peter Woodruff. I
have benefited also from colleagues and students too numerous to
name but deserving my thanks nonetheless. Philosophy is a
surprisingly communal affair."
The book attempts to give homage to a largely forgotten or even
unknown chapter in American History; the African-American Law Man
in the old west. There are plenty of true stories about these
Americans but mostly on obscure web pages and the untouched books
in the local library. The Main Character is a fictional collection
of several law man that our history has over looked like Bass
Reeves from the Oklahoma Territory and before him Willie Kennard
from Colorado. As dedicated as Bat Masterson or Wyatt Earp and as
quick on the draw as William Butler Hickock but never caught the
eye of the dime store novelist; until now.
The Information Super Highway concept has gained great popularity
recently. If the super highway is to be realised it will almost
certainly be built mainly using optical fibres. The British
Telecoms research group in this area has long been acknowledged as
a leading force in developing optical communications technology. In
this book they set out the technology necessary to build the super
highway of the future.
Fluoropolymers continue to enable new materials and technologies as
a result of their remarkable properties. This book reviews
fluoropolymer platforms of established commercial interest, as well
as recently discovered methods for the preparation and processing
of new fluorinated materials. It covers the research and
development of fluoropolymer synthesis, characterization, and
processing. Emphasis is placed on emerging technologies in optics,
space exploration, fuel cells, microelectronics, gas separation
membranes, biomedical instrumentation, and much more. In addition,
the book covers the current environmental concerns associated with
fluoropolymers, as well as relevant regulations and potential
growth opportunities. Concepts, studies, and new discoveries are
taken from leading international laboratories, including academia,
government, and industrial institutions.
