 Free Download Gyula Klima and Alexander W. Hall, "Medieval Skepticism, and the Claim to Metaphysical Knowledge " English | ISBN: 1443833711 | 2011 | 170 pages | PDF | 1001 KB Medieval Skepticism, and the Claim to Metaphysical Knowledge presents three sets of essays. The first is an exchange between Antoine Cote and Charles Bolyard over Siger of Brabant s strategy to silence the skeptic by discriminating between nobler and lesser senses and grounding certitude in sense perceptions. Second is another scholarly exchange, between Rondo Keele and Jack Zupko, over what Keele describes as Walter Chatton s attempt to discredit Ockhamist nominalism by means of both an anti-razor , employed by Chatton to prescribe ontological commitment, and an argument strategy based on iteration and infinite regress. The last group of essays explores issues that develop out of the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas. Joshua Hochschild defends several key positions of Thomistic metaphysics against Anthony Kenny s criticism that Aquinas s treatment of being is inadequate, incoherent or even sophistic. Similarly, David Twetten, after laying out Aquinas s nine versions of the proof for the Real Distinction between essence and esse, suggests one way in which Aquinas could meet the Aristotelian s formidable Question-Begging Objection . Lastly, Scott M. Williams contends that to preserve God s perfect knowledge of individual material creatures, Aquinas must alter his account of the unintelligibility of prime matter in the individuation of material creatures.  Free Download Gyula Klima and Alexander W. Hall, "Medieval Metaphysics, or is it "Just Semantics"? " English | ISBN: 1443833754 | 2011 | 105 pages | PDF | 621 KB Medieval semantic theories develop out of Aristotle s On Interpretation, in which he notes that Spoken sounds are symbols of affections in the soul, and written marks symbols of spoken sounds (tr. J. L. Ackrill, OUP 1984). The medieval commentary tradition elaborates on Aristotle s theory in light of various epistemological and metaphysical commitments, including those entailed by the doctrine of the transcendentals that emerges from the tradition in the writings of Philip the Chancellor (d. 1236). Transcendental attributes such as unity, truth and goodness (properties that figure into most if not all accounts of the transcendentals) characterize every being as such, and hence the doctrine of the transcendentals promised some knowledge of God. This hope, together with the general medieval consensus that the cognitive acts by which we grasp extra-mental entities are veridical (i.e., in most cases, these acts represent what the cognizing subject takes them to represent) encouraged medieval thinkers to devote considerable effort to discerning how concepts latch onto reality. Medieval Metaphysics, or Is It Just Semantics ? follows these attempts as concerns the signification of theological discourse in general and Trinitarian semantics in particular, the proper object of the intellect, and what is signified through quidditative or essential definition.

Free Download Aris Gkoulalas-Divanis, "Medical Data Privacy Handbook" English | ISBN: 3319236326 | 2015 | 875 pages | EPUB | 9 MB This handbook covers Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, which enable the storage, management, and sharing of massive amounts of demographic, diagnosis, medication, and genomic information. It presents privacy-preserving methods for medical data, ranging from laboratory test results to doctors' comments. The reuse of EMR data can greatly benefit medical science and practice, but must be performed in a privacy-preserving way according to data sharing policies and regulations. Written by world-renowned leaders in this field, each chapter offers a survey of a research direction or a solution to problems in established and emerging research areas. The authors explore scenarios and techniques for facilitating the anonymization of different types of medical data, as well as various data mining tasks. Other chapters present methods for emerging data privacy applications and medical text de-identification, including detailed surveys of deployed systems. A part of the book is devoted to legislative and policy issues, reporting on the US and EU privacy legislation and the cost of privacy breaches in the healthcare domain. This reference is intended for professionals, researchers and advanced-level students interested in safeguarding medical data. |
