The Confucian examination system shaped what an entire civilisation invested in for thirteen centuries. Ubuntu traditions measured economic success by the quality of relationships.

  • Aligned to What?

    by Jimmy Strobl ...
    Aligned to what?The major AI laboratories have, across the past several years, built and deployed systems they describe as aligned. Asked to name what the alignment specifies, the laboratories have produced a vocabulary of formulations that does not, on close examination, name anything at all. Human values. Shared values. Helpful, honest, harmless. Broadly distributed benefits. The collective will ... Read more

  • Minimal Ethical Dimensions

    by Jimmy Strobl ...
    What if every ethical framework is missing the same thing? Eight dimensions. Nine cases. One framework. Across every inhabited continent, ethical traditions have tracked the ways human beings and their institutions can be damaged. Buddhist philosophy mapped the structure of suffering. Confucian ethics specified the obligations that hold relationships together. Ubuntu grounded personhood in ... Read more

  • Retiring Consciousness

    by Jimmy Strobl ...
    For three and a half centuries, a single word has governed the philosophy of mind. "Consciousness" determines which beings have moral status, which patients receive continued care, and whether an artificial system has an inner life. It organises research programmes, shapes legislation, and frames the hardest questions in science. It does all of this without an agreed definition. This book argues ... Read more

  • The Varieties of Human Excellence

    by Jimmy Strobl ...
    What if intelligence was never one thing?Fourteen civilisations. Twelve dimensions. One argument.The Greek tradition distinguished five intellectual virtues and placed practical wisdom at their summit. The Confucian tradition built a thirteen-century examination system around moral character. Indian logicians developed formal logic using a fundamentally different architecture from Aristotle's. ...

  • The Axiom of Finite Bounds

    by Jimmy Strobl ...
    In 610 BCE, Anaximander declared the fundamental principle of reality to be the boundless, the infinite. No argument established it. No observation confirmed it. It was posited, and from that positing a trajectory began that would run for 2,500 years without interruption. This book questions the assumption. It traces the commitment to infinity from Anaximander through Zeno, Aristotle, Leibniz, ... Read more

  • Fréchet Differentiability of Lipschitz Functions and Porous Sets in Banach Spaces

    by Joram Lindenstrauss, David Preiss, Jaroslav Tišer ...
    Series Book 179 - Annals of Mathematics Studies
    This book makes a significant inroad into the unexpectedly difficult question of existence of Fréchet derivatives of Lipschitz maps of Banach spaces into higher dimensional spaces. Because the question turns out to be closely related to porous sets in Banach spaces, it provides a bridge between descriptive set theory and the classical topic of existence of derivatives of vector-valued Lipschitz ...

  • Lectures on the Poisson Process

    by Günter Last, Mathew Penrose ...
    Series Book 7 - Institute of Mathematical Statistics Textbooks
    The Poisson process, a core object in modern probability, enjoys a richer theory than is sometimes appreciated. This volume develops the theory in the setting of a general abstract measure space, establishing basic results and properties as well as certain advanced topics in the stochastic analysis of the Poisson process. Also discussed are applications and related topics in stochastic geometry, ... Read more

  • Theory Of Multiple Zeta Values With Applications In Combinatorics, The

    by Minking Eie ...
    Series Book 7 - Monographs In Number Theory
    This is the first book on the theory of multiple zeta values since its birth around 1994. Readers will find that the shuffle products of multiple zeta values are applied to complicated counting problems in combinatorics, and numerous interesting identities are produced that are ready to be used. This will provide a powerful tool to deal with problems in multiple zeta values, both in evaluations ... Read more
