  • Intuitionistic Euler-Venn Diagrams⋆
    Intuitionistic Euler-Venn Diagrams? Sven Linker[0000−0003−2913−7943] University of Liverpool, UK [email protected] Abstract. We present an intuitionistic interpretation of Euler-Venn di- agrams with respect to Heyting algebras. In contrast to classical Euler- Venn diagrams, we treat shaded and missing zones differently, to have diagrammatic representations of conjunction, disjunction and intuition- istic implication. Furthermore, we need to add new syntactic elements to express these concepts. We present a cut-free sequent calculus for this language, and prove it to be sound and complete. Furthermore, we show that the rules of cut, weakening and contraction are admissible. Keywords: intuitionistic logic · Euler-Venn diagrams · proof theory 1 Introduction Most visualisations for logical systems, like Peirce's Existential Graphs [6] and the Venn systems of Shin [16], are dedicated to some form of classical reasoning. However, for example, within Computer Science, constructive reasoning in the form of intuitionistic logic is very important as well, due to the Curry-Howard correspondence of constructive proofs and programs, or, similarly, of formulas and types. That is, each formula corresponds to a unique type, and a proof of the formula corresponds to the execution of a function of this type. Hence, a visu- alisation of intutionistic logic would be beneficial not only from the perspective of formal logic, but also for visualising program types and their relations. Typical semantics of intuitionistic logic are given in the form of Heyting algebras, a slight generalisation of Boolean algebras, and an important subclass of Heyting algebras is induced by topologies: the set of open sets of a topology forms a Heyting algebra.

  • 'The Supreme Principle of Morality'? in the Preface to His Best
    The Supreme Principle of Morality Allen W. Wood 1. What is ‘The Supreme Principle of Morality’? In the Preface to his best known work on moral philosophy, Kant states his purpose very clearly and succinctly: “The present groundwork is, however, nothing more than the search for and establishment of the supreme principle of morality, which already constitutes an enterprise whole in its aim and to be separated from every other moral investigation” (Groundwork 4:392). This paper will deal with the outcome of the first part of this task, namely, Kant’s attempt to formulate the supreme principle of morality, which is the intended outcome of the search. It will consider this formulation in light of Kant’s conception of the historical antecedents of his attempt. Our first task, however, must be to say a little about the meaning of the term ‘supreme principle of morality’. For it is not nearly as evident to many as it was to Kant that there is such a thing at all. And it is extremely common for people, whatever position they may take on this issue, to misunderstand what a ‘supreme principle of morality’ is, what it is for, and what role it is supposed to play in moral theorizing and moral reasoning. Kant never directly presents any argument that there must be such a principle, but he does articulate several considerations that would seem to justify supposing that there is. Kant holds that moral questions are to be decided by reason. Reason, according to Kant, always seeks unity under principles, and ultimately, systematic unity under the fewest possible number of principles (Pure Reason A298-302/B355-359, A645- 650/B673-678).

  • Introducing 3D Venn and Euler Diagrams
    Introducing 3D Venn and Euler Diagrams Peter Rodgers1, Jean Flower2, and Gem Stapleton3 1 University of Kent, UK [email protected] 2 Autodesk, UK 3 Visual Modelling Group, University of Brighton, UK [email protected] Abstract. In 2D, Venn and Euler diagrams consist of labelled simple closed curves and have been widely studied. The advent of 3D display and interaction mechanisms means that extending these diagrams to 3D is now feasible. However, 3D versions of these diagrams have not yet been examined. Here, we begin the investigation into 3D Euler diagrams by defining them to comprise of labelled, orientable closed surfaces. As in 2D, these 3D Euler diagrams visually represent the set-theoretic notions of intersection, containment and disjointness. We extend the concept of wellformedness to the 3D case and compare it to wellformedness in the 2D case. In particular, we demonstrate that some data can be visualized with wellformed 3D diagrams that cannot be visualized with wellformed 2D diagrams. We also note that whilst there is only one topologically distinct embedding of wellformed Venn-3 in 2D, there are four such em- beddings in 3D when the surfaces are topologically equivalent to spheres. Furthermore, we hypothesize that all data sets can be visualized with 3D Euler diagrams whereas this is not the case for 2D Euler diagrams, unless non-simple curves and/or duplicated labels are permitted. As this paper is the first to consider 3D Venn and Euler diagrams, we include a set of open problems and conjectures to stimulate further research.

A set is well-defined if its contents can be clearly determined. In other words, the contents can be clearly named or listed based on fact and not opinion. Sets are generally named with capital letters. Euler diagram (pronounced “oy-ler”) As with a Venn diagram, in an Euler diagram, a rectangle usually represents the universal set, U. The items inside the rectangle may be divided into subsets of the universal set. Subsets are usually represented by circles. Euler diagrams best represent disjoint sets or subsets. Disjoint sets – Set A and set B have no elements in common. Subsets – When A ⊆ B, every element of A is also an element of set B. Euler diagram for number sets We often use Euler diagrams to represent the relationship between the common sets of numbers: Natural: 푁 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … }, Whole: 푊 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … }, Integers: 푍 = {… , −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, … }, 푎 Rational: 푄 = { | 푎, 푏 ∈ 푍 푎푛푑 푏 ≠ 0}, Irrational Numbers , Real 푏 Numbers: 푅 = {푛푢푚푏푒푟푠 푡ℎ푎푡 푐표푟푟푒푠푝표푛푑 푡표 푝표푛푡푠 표푛 푛푢푚푏푒푟 푙푛푒} ALG-2-18 | Page 1 Rule Familiarize yourself with Euler Diagrams.

  • Drawing Area-Proportional Venn and Euler Diagrams
    Drawing Area-Proportional Venn and Euler Diagrams Stirling Chow and Frank Ruskey Department of Computer Science, University of Victoria, Canada {schow,fruskey}@cs.uvic.ca Abstract. We consider the problem of drawing Venn diagrams for which each region’s area is proportional to some weight (e.g., population or percentage) assigned to that region. These area-proportional Venn dia- grams have an enhanced ability over traditional Venn diagrams to visu- ally convey information about data sets with interacting characteristics. We develop algorithms for drawing area-proportional Venn diagrams for any population distribution over two characteristics using circles and over three characteristics using rectangles and near-rectangular poly- gons; modifications of these algorithms are then presented for drawing the more general Euler diagrams. We present results concerning which population distributions can be drawn using specific shapes. A program to aid further investigation of area-proportional Venn diagrams is also described. 1 Introduction In 1880, John Venn introduced a notation for representing logical propositions using intersecting Jordan curves [11]. These Venn diagrams were specialized instances of a more general notation for representing set relations which Leonard Euler developed in the 18th century [5]. Many people encounter the familiar 2-set and 3-set Venn diagrams shown in Fig. 1 at some point in their mathematical education; they are often used to introduce students to set theory. Informally, an n-set Venn diagram is comprised of n Jordan curves The curves divide the plane into 2n connected sets of points called regions which uniquely represent all possible intersections of the (open) interiors and exteriors of the curves.

  • ETHICS and ELOQUENCE in JOURNALISM an Approach To
    ETHICS AND ELOQUENCE IN JOURNALISM An approach to press accountability Theodore L. Glasser and James S. Ettema Journalists’ common sense, their everyday moral intuitions, offers a practical but flawed way of knowing right from wrong. But rather than discounting or dismissing this ‘‘naı¨ve everyday ethical knowledge,’’ which would rob journalism of its normative substance, we propose to rehabilitate it through a process of public justification. Grounded in aspects of Ju¨rgen Habermas’s theory of communicative ethics, we offer a model of press accountability that understands ethics as a process rather than an outcome. Our being-ethical-means-being-accountable theme emphasizes the role of eloquence, understood as the competence to argue in ways that advance common or shared interests, in an open and accessible discursive test of the validity of journalism’s moral norms. KEYWORDS accountability; common sense; discourse ethics; journalism ethics Downloaded By: [Glasser, Theodore L] At: 20:42 27 June 2008 Introduction The problem of ethics in journalism, we argue, is not the inability of journalists to know right from wrong but their inability to talk articulately and reflectively about it. The challenge of ethics in journalism is not, then, to facilitate the discovery of moral laws that yield ethical truths, for being ethical requires neither a knowledge of abstract principles nor a familiarity with arcane theories of morality. Rather, being ethical requires the facility to argue articulately and deliberate thoughtfully about moral dilemmas, which in the end means being able to justify, publicly and compellingly, their resolution. The aim of ethics is, in a word, accountability.
