Knowing a person
No full textThis is a transcript of an interview by David Edmonds for Philosophy Bites, with Katalin Farkas. Farkas explains that knowing a person is not reducible to factual knowledge, but it's a relation that is not entirely cognitive. In some ways, it's more like knowing someone in the biblical sense

A fejszámoló Bolyai Farkas: Farkas Bolyai as a Mental Calculator / Farkas Bolyai și calculul mintal
No full textIn his childhood, the Hungarian mathematician, Farkas Bolyai (1775–1856) was a very good mental calculator. He calculated the square and cube roots of 14-digit numbers without pen and paper. In his legacy we found an interesting, but a little bit mysterious manuscript on the cube roots. Fortunately, we understood this paper based on a Hungarian arithmetical book by Lőrincz Koretz (1805–1871). The author of this book was a piarist teacher in Hungary. This paper shows some examples based on the unknown József Farczádi Nagy’s calculations of the cube roots.
Rezumat
În copilărie, matematicianul maghiar Farkas Bolyai (1775–1856) a fost capabil să extragă rădăcini pătrate și cubice din numere de 14 cifre. În moștenirea sa am găsit un manuscris interesant, deși puțin misterios, despre extragerea cubică. Din fericire, descifrarea conținutului s-a reușit pe baza unei cărți de matematică a lui Lőrinc Koretz (1805–1871). Autorul acestui volum a fost un profesor piarist. Prezentul articol dicută câteva exemple bazate pe calculele necunoscute ale lui József Farczádi Nagy ale rădăcinilor cubului.
Kivonat
Bolyai Farkas (1775–1856) már gyermekkorában 14 jegyű számból is tudott fejben négyzet- és köbgyököt vonni. Hagyatékában egy érdekes, bár egy kicsit titokzatos kéziratot találtunk, amely a köbgyökvonásról szól. Szerencsére sikerült megfejtetni a tartalmát Koretz Lőrincz (1805–1871) egy számtankönyve alapján. E kötet szerzője kegyesrendi tanár volt. Dolgozatunk néhány példát mutat be Farczádi Nagy József köbgyökvonási módszeréről

A discrete variant of Farkas’ Lemma
No full textWe report a discrete variant of Farkas’ Lemma in the setting of a module over a linearly ordered commutative ring. The ring may contain zero divisors, and need not be associative nor unital, but we need a certain hypothesis about the ring. Finally, we discuss the result and compare it with other related results found in the literature
Primal and Dual Characterizations for Farkas Type Lemmas in Terms of Closedness Criteria
No full textThis paper deals with the characterization, in terms of closedness of certain sets regarding other sets, of Farkas lemmas determining when the upperlevel set of a convex function f contains a set of the form C ∩ −1 (D), where C and D are convex sets (not necessarily cones) in locally convex spaces X (with topological dual X′) and Y, respectively, while is a continuous linear operator from X to Y. More in detail, each of the mentioned characterizations of Farkas type lemmas consists in the closedness of certain subset of either one of the “primal” spaces X × Y × ℝ and Y × ℝ, or of the “dual” space X′ × ℝ, regarding some singleton set of the corresponding space. Moreover, the paper also provides an existence theorem for the feasible set C ∩ −1 (D) in terms of the closedness of certain subset of the dual space X′ ×ℝ regarding the singleton set formed by the null element. These results are illustrated with significant applications to constrained convex minimization problems and to functional approximation by polynomials.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

David Hume and the Art of the Essay as Philosophy
No full textThis thesis examines the career of David Hume as philosopher and essayist. David Hume is one of the first Men of Letters to make a living strictly through his publications. That fact points to a significant change in the idea of patronage. Instead of working for and catering to an aristocratic patron, Hume targeted a collective readership, a market.
That is not to say, however, that the philosopher "dumbed down" his thought. For, in fact, the essay format, with its conversational tone and easier accessibility, is actually perfectly suited for conveying Hume's particular philosophy of human nature. David Hume stressed the value of lived experience, and the human life experience is social at its core. In other words, to study humans in their social context is the best way to get at the fundamentals of human nature. The life of the community involves politics, economics, friendships, and personal relationships. For David Hume, these are the proper topics for philosophical inquiry.
Hume envisioned a modern readership that is characterized by its belief in the positive aspects of human sociability. In part, this is due to the dramatic changes taking place in British society due to commercialization. "Give and take" interaction was highly valued because that is how commerce works. That value seeped into other aspects of culture. David Hume believed there were some people within the culture of sociability, who though not learned in the sense of a trained philosopher such as himself, nevertheless wanted to think of their lives in a philosophical manner. In this study I hope to show the remarkable convergence of form, content, and context that emerges in David Hume's work as he addresses this audience
