Individuation : Ontogenes : Prolegomena till Gilbert Simondons genetiska ontologi

Sehlberg, Johan January 2011 (has links)
The following text constitutes an attempt to present the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon's genetic ontology through an account of his reconfiguration of the problem of individuation in his doctoral thesis from 1958, L'individuation à la lumière des notions de forme, information, potentiel, métastabilité. The intention is to show how Simondon through this reconfiguration of a classical philosophical problem – in which concepts and schemas from contemporary physics and technology is utilised in a critique of the bi-polar hylomorphic schema as its traditional, substantialistic solution – becomes able to articulate an anti-substantialistic and anti-reductionistic ontogenesis as first philosophy. A systematic philosophical conception that according to Simondon precedes every critical investigation of the subject as well as every scientific ontology – not by establishing a pre-critical position, but by exceeding Kant's critical position: that is, through a displacement toward a conception of the transcendental conditions for the genesis of being and thought as real conditions, rather than conditions of mere possibility. A displacement that in turn appears to respond to the question that frames this basic account of important concepts and schemas in Simondon, namely: in what sense and to what extent is it necessary for philosophical thought to be thought and developed in relation to other forms of thought?

Sociala helheter och sociala praktiker : att kunna delta i den sociala världen

Carlshamre, Nathan January 2024 (has links)
In this essay I attempt to show that both the weak interpretation and the strong interpretation of what John Searle calls the principle of self–referentiality for social phenomena should be abandoned. This, I argue, is because they give rise to what I, following Burman (2023), call ”location problems” for opaque social phenomena and for social wholes, as well as a faulty understanding of social power. Instead, I propose that we understand social phenomena as constitued by social practices, in turn constituted by individuals who have the know–how necessary to participate in the social practices (in the sense that they are reliably able to do so), while not necessarily knowing that they are participating in them. In doing this, I draw on Robert B. Brandom’s notion of a social practice from Making it Explicit (1994).

Sanningens väg i det sjätte massutdöendets tidsålder : Heidegger och Parmenides i naturrättens tjänst / The Way of Truth in the Age of the Sixth Mass Extinction : Heidegger and Parmenides in the Service of the Rights of Nature

Larsson, Linus January 2024 (has links)
The Rights of Nature movement is a quickly growing global phenomenon. However, it is not always obvious what the movement really means. What is its underlying experience? How can its transformative depth be formulated? What is the meaning of this depth? Starting from the ‘Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth’ this essay seeks to elucidate the ontological meaning of these questions through attending to the possible relation of the Rights of Nature movement to Heidegger’s turning toward Parmenides, in the sense of ‘primordial thinker’, or ‘essential thinker’, that is, a thinker who in an essential way thinks the origin as such. This ‘origin’ will be dealt with in relation to the oikos of ecology. In other words ‘essential thinking’ will be brought forward as a thinking that essentially makes possible the mindful awareness of this oikos, this ‘home’, ‘house’, ‘abode’, or ‘place of dwelling’. A chief point of the essay is that an essential experience of this oikos is necessary if the ontological implications of the Rights of Nature movement is to be disclosed.

Investigating the Use of Digital Twins to Optimize Waste Collection Routes : A holistic approach towards unlocking the potential of IoT and AI in waste management / Undersökning av användningen av digitala tvillingar för optimering av sophämtningsrutter : Ett holistiskt tillvägagångssätt för att ta del av potentialen för IoT och AI i sophantering

Medehal, Aarati January 2023 (has links)
Solid waste management is a global issue that affects everyone. The management of waste collection routes is a critical challenge in urban environments, primarily due to inefficient routing. This thesis investigates the use of real-time virtual replicas, namely Digital Twins to optimize waste collection routes. By leveraging the capabilities of digital twins, this study intends to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of waste collection operations. The ‘gap’ that the study aims to uncover is hence at the intersection of smart cities, Digital Twins, and waste collection routing. The research methodology comprises of three key components. First, an exploration of five widely used metaheuristic algorithms provides a qualitative understanding of their applicability in vehicle routing, and consecutively waste collection route optimization. Building on this foundation, a simple smart routing scenario for waste collection is presented, highlighting the limitations of a purely Internet of Things (IoT)-based approach. Next, the findings from this demonstration motivate the need for a more data-driven and intelligent solution, leading to the introduction of the Digital Twin concept. Subsequently, a twin framework is developed, which encompasses the technical anatomy and methodology required to create and utilize Digital Twins to optimize waste collection, considering factors such as real-time data integration, predictive analytics, and optimization algorithms. The outcome of this research contributes to the growing concept of smart cities and paves the way toward practical implementations in revolutionizing waste management and creating a sustainable future. / Sophantering är ett globalt problem som påverkar alla, och hantering av sophämtningsrutter är en kritisk utmaning i stadsmiljöer. Den här avhandlingen undersöker användningen av virtuella kopior i realtid, nämligen digitala tvillingar, för att optimera sophämtningsrutter. Genom att utnyttja digitala tvillingars förmågor, avser den här studien att förbättra effektiviteten av sophämtning. Forskningsmetoden består av tre nyckeldelar. Först, en undersökning av fem välanvända Metaheuristika algoritmer som ger en kvalitativ förståelse av deras applicerbarhet i fordonsdirigering och således i optimeringen av sophämtningsrutter. Baserat på detta presenteras ett enkelt smart ruttscenario för sophämtning som understryker bristerna av att bara använda Internet of Things (IoT). Sedan motiverar resultaten av demonstrationen nödvändigheten för en mer datadriven och intelligent lösning, vilket leder till introduktionen av konceptet med digitala tvillingar. Därefter utvecklas ett ramverk för digitala tvillingar som omfattar den tekniska anatomin och metod som krävs för att skapa och använda digitala tvillingar för att optimera sophämtningsrutter. Dessa tar i beaktning faktorer såsom realtidsdataintegrering, prediktiv analys och optimeringsalgoritmer. Slutsatserna av studien bidrar till det växande konceptet av smarta städer och banar väg för praktisk implementation i revolutionerande sophantering och för skapandet för en hållbar framtid.
