Necessity and Possibility: The Logical Strategy of Kant\u27s \u27Critique of Pure Reason\u27
No full textIf logic provides rules for thought, can there be similar rules for human experience? Kurt Mosser argues that reading Kant\u27s Critique of Pure Reason as an argument for such a logic of experience makes more defensible many of Kant\u27s most controversial claims, and makes more accessible Kant\u27s notoriously difficult text. By pursuing this strategic hint, Kant\u27s philosophical claims about human experience are seen as extraordinarily strong―as universal and necessary―but only as providing the conditions for experience to be possible. Thus, just as logic does not determine what thoughts are about, logic of experience does not determine the content of experience.
Drawing on Kant\u27s published and unpublished texts and a wide range of texts from the history of logic and philosophical inquiries into language, Mosser provides an interpretation of some of Kant\u27s most complex arguments, such as the Metaphysical Deduction. He demonstrates that, in spite of appearances, Kant appeals to common sense to reveal both the scope and limits of human knowledge.
Engaging a wide range of writers, including W. V. Quine, Donald Davidson, Richard Rorty, and Michel Foucault, the author also shows that Kant\u27s arguments retain considerable relevance to contemporary issues in epistemology, the philosophy of language, and current debates over postmodernism

No full textA conversation between Sandy Oliver of Isleboro, cookery author and columnist, and Melissa Kelly, author, chef, and founder of Primo restaurants in Rockland, Tucson, and Orlando. Oliver is updating Marjorie Mosser\u27s Good Maine Food, and Kelly is updating Marjorie Standish\u27s Cooking Down East . They share their thoughts on traditional Maine food, vegetable gardening, using local and seasonal food, and raising livestock for food
Asteroseismic measurement of the inclination angle: characterizing exoplanetary systems
No full textInformation on stellar inclinations are of prime importance to characterize the formation and dynamics of transiting exoplanetary systems, by helping to constrain the angle between the stellar spin axis and the planetary orbit axis, namely the obliquity. As PLATO will observe about 150 000 main-sequence stars potentially hosting exoplanets, it is crucial to have at hand a fast, robust and automated method to measure the stellar inclination angle.
I will present the method I developed and the results I derived for almost 1200 red giant stars that have been observed by the Kepler space mission, which exhibit mixed modes offering the opportunity to obtain accurate measurements of the inclination angle of the stellar rotation axis. I could characterize the biases affecting inclination measurements, in particular for extreme values close to 0 ◦ and 90 ◦ . This study allowed me to provide a way to infer the underlying statistical distribution of inclinations for a given sample of stars, free from observational limitations. This method has the advantage to be able to derive seismic measurements of the inclination angle for any solar-type pulsator with identified oscillation modes
Seismic indices - a deep look inside evolved stars
No full textInternational audienceIndependent of stellar modelling, global seismic parameters of red giants provide unique information on the individual stellar properties as well as on stellar evolution. They allow us to measure key stellar parameters, such as the stellar mass and radius, or to derive the distance of field stars. Furthermore, oscillations with a mixed character directly probe the physical conditions in the stellar core. Here, we explain how very precise seismic indices are obtained, and how they can be used for monitoring stellar evolution and performing Galactic archeology
Calvin on deification: a reply to Carl Mosser and Jonathan Slater
No full textAbstractCalvin scholars have disputed whether Calvin had the concept of deification. Carl Mosser was eager to find deification in Calvin's theology. On the other hand, Jonathan Slater was earnest to deny deification in Calvin's thought. Calvin distinguishes between divine essence and divine kind. According to Calvin, we will be partakers of the divine kind, but not of the divine essence. We will be like God, but we will not be God. For Calvin, righteousness and immortality are called divine righteousness and divine immortality because God is its author. They are gifts from God, not God's own essence. Calvin says that we are God's offspring, but in quality, not in essence, inasmuch as he, indeed, adorned us with divine gifts. On the other hand, although Slater argues that Calvin's position is that believers share in what is Christ's according to his human nature, in accordance with Calvin, all the actions which Christ performed to reconcile God and man refer to the whole person, and are not to be separately restricted to only one nature. In this article, I find that Calvin distinguishes between divine essence and divine kind, in other words, essential and non-essential or central and peripheral.</jats:p

Planetary seismology
No full textInternational audienceSince 1969, seismology has been extended beyond the Earth, and seismic sensors have been placed on the surface of other bodies of the solar system. A Lunar seismic network thus operated for the 8 years after 1969, with up to 4 stations, and detected some 1000 Moonquakes per year. A single seismic station was also operated on the Martian surface for 19 months since 1977. Unfortunately, it did not detect any Marsquakes, but produced useful information for future experiments. Remotesensing seismic experiments using Doppler shift observation have also been applied to Jupiter in the last two years and are beginning to return information on the normal modes. Planetary seismology is thus now well developed, and will provide increasing information on the structure and dynamics of the planets and bodies of the solar system. In this paper we review the state of the art in planetary seismology. For the terrestrial planets, we compare the seismic sources, structure and experiments on Earth, Moon and Mars. Such a comparison is useful in evaluating the design of past or future experiments. Results in the seismology of giant planets are also reviewed, stressing the connection between methods and theory
Duty Cycle of Doppler Ground‐based Asteroseismic Observations
No full textInternational audienceWe report the observations of the clear-sky fraction at the Concordia station during winter 2006 and derive from it the duty cycle for the astronomical observations. The duty cycle and observation duration at Dome C allow for efficient asteroseismic observations. This performance is analyzed and compared to network observations. For network observations, simulations were run using the helioseismic Global Oscillation Network Group as a reference. Observations with one site in Antarctica provide performance similar to or better than that with a six-site network, since the duty cycle limited by meteorology is as high as 92%. On bright targets, a 100 day long time series with a duty cycle of about 87% can be observed, which is not possible for a network observation. Based on observations made by E. Aristidi during the 2006 second overwinter at the French-Italian Concordia Station, Dome C, Antarctica
