"This book covers W. V. Quine's philosophic career from his early radical empiricism and behaviorism through his development of a series of skeptical doctrines regarding meaning, reference, and science."

"Willard Van Orman Quine's work revolutionized the fields of epistemology, semantics and ontology. At the heart of his philosophy are several interconnected doctrines: his rejection of conventionalism and of the linguistic doctrine of logical and mathematical truth, his rejection of the analytic/synthetic distinction, his thesis of the indeterminacy of translation and his thesis of the inscrutability of reference. In this book Edward Becker sets out to interpret and explain these doctrines. He offers detailed analyses of the relevant texts, discusses Quine's views on meaning, reference and knowledge, and shows how Quine's views developed over the years. He also proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth, and a new way of rehabilitating analyticity. His rich exploration of Quine's thought will interest all those seeking to understand and evaluate the work of one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century."

"ABSTRAKThomas Samuel Kuhn menggagas bahwa perkembangan ilmiah bersifat revolutif. Gagasannya disampaikan lewat bukunya yang berjudul lsquo;The Structure of Scientific Revolutions rsquo; lsquo;SSR rsquo; . Dalam SSR, kata lsquo;paradigma rsquo; bermakna ambivalen. Akibatnya, penjelasan Kuhn tentang revolusi ilmiah menjadi inkonsisten. Ada revolusi ilmiah yang disebabkan krisis, ada revolusi ilmiah yang terjadi tanpa krisis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membuktikan bahwa revolusi ilmiah terjadi tanpa krisis. Pembuktian dilakukan dengan menganalisis ambivalensi makna lsquo;revolusi ilmiah rsquo;, dengan memetakan pemaknaan Kuhn berdasarkan teori heteronim dari W. V. O. Quine. Kemudian, menguji konsistensi argumen Kuhn. Revolusi ilmiah terjadi tanpa krisis karena pelakunya adalah individu, dan anomali bersifat terantisipasi oleh ilmu.

ABSTRACTKuhn's notion of scientific revolution are contained by his book ldquo The Structure of Scientific Revolutions rdquo . In his book, lsquo paradigm rsquo has an ambivalent meaning. That ambivalent meaning is the cause of Kuhn rsquo s inconsistency for explaining scientific revolution. In one aspect, scientific revolution can be happened with crises. In another aspect, scientific revolution can be happened without crises. The ambivalent meaning of lsquo paradigm rsquo is analyzed through Quine rsquo s theory of heteronymity. The aim of this research is to prove that ldquo scientific revolution can be happened without crises rdquo is the most consistent explanation for scientific revolution, because the agent of scientific revolution is individual, and anomalies is always anticipated by sciences."

"Pada tulisan ini disusun suatu algoritma sebagai pengembangan dari algoritma yang sudah ada yaitu algoritma Quine-McCluskey untuk membantu meminimalkan fungsi Boole dalam bentuk sum of product. Algoritma ini berguna dalam perancangan rangkaian logika kombinasi terutama PLA (Programmable Logic Array) sehingga diperoleh rangkaian berbiaya rendah.Dalam rangkaian logika kombinasi, fungsinya secara eksplisit dinyatakan dalam fungsi Boole. Untuk meminimalkan fungsi Boole ini sudah dikenal beberapa metode antara lain metode Peta Karnaugh, metode tabulasi (HILLBI), metode MINI (ARE78) dan metode ESPRESSO (BRAY84) Pada metode tabulasi diperlukan tiga tahap untuk meminimalkan fungsi Boole, yaitu pencarian PI (Prime Implicant), pencarian EPI (Essential Prime Impicant) dan pemilihan NON-EPI. Algoritma Quine-McCluskey hanya melaksanakan tahap pertama yaitu pencarian Prime Implicant.Dengan menelusuri ide dasar penyusunan algoritma Quine-McCluskey, yaitu teori kubus, dan dengan menentuan suatu relasi partial ordering di himpunan C=(O,1,X) yang menjadikan (C,>-) sebuah lattice, maka dengan menggunakan sifat lattice tersebut dapat disusun aturan-aturan tertentu sehingga dapat dibuat algoritma yang lebih sederhana dari pada algoritma Quine-McCLuskey. Di samping itu, algoritma ini melaksanakan tahap pertama dan tahap kedua dari metode tabulasi sehingga selain menghasilkan Prime Implicant sekaligus juga menghasilkan Essential Prime Implicant, meskipun algoritma modifikasi ini memiliki kompleksitas waktu dan space yang sama dengan algoritma Quine-McCluskey yaitu O(n3) dan O(n)."

"This inclusive, cross-cultural study rethinks the nexus between engineering, development, and culture. It offers diverse commentary from a range of disciplinary perspectives on how the philosophies of today's cultural triumvirate-American, European and Chinese-are shaped and given nuance by the cross-fertilization of engineering and development. Scholars from the humanities and social sciences as well as engineers themselves reflect on key questions that arise in this relational context, such as how international development work affects the professional views, identities, practice and ethics of engineers. The first volume to offer a systematic and collaborative study that cuts across continental boundaries, the book delineates the kinds of skills and competences that tomorrow's engineering success stories will require, and analyzes fascinating aspects of the interplay between engineering and philosophy, such as how traditionally Chinese ways of thinking can influence modern engineering practice in the world's most populous country. China's problematic mix of engineering woes and wonders, from the high-profile crash on its high-profile rail network to its 'bird's nest' Olympic stadium, adds to the urgency for reform, while Europe's Enlightenment-informed legal frameworks are contrasted with Chinese mechanisms in their governance of the field of nanotechnology, a crucial element of future technical evolution. Fascinating and compelling in equal measure, this volume addresses one of the topics at the leading edge of humanity's quest to survive, and to thrive. "
