Most of the philosophers assert that every human effort to uncover the myth eventually would be trapped or bring out a new myth. Since the myth is important in order to form the structure of the human mind, then, it is interesting to discuss the analysis proposed by Roland Barthes. The contributions of Barthes, with his study of myth, at least would open a new horizon regarding the understanding, the structure, and the relations of the myth with the real world. Barthes’ efforts in analyzing the myths, especially the contemporary myths, might be taken to be different from what were done by the earlier experts. The studies of Barthes have developed the awarenessand the new horizon about things previously taken unimportant and trivial, especially in the context of the modern world.

In this Conclusion, the author summarizes the main features of his theory of epistemic rationality and explains how his theory avoids commitment to any of the five presuppositions of the Proof Paradigm. He explains his new solution to the epistemological version of Berkeley’s puzzle. He recaps the real-world epistemological issues addressed by his theory. He concludes with some final thoughts, including a call to philosophers to reject both the presuppositions of the Proof Paradigm and the narrow scientism that characterizes so much of contemporary American philosophy. He urges us to replace that narrow scientism with a more expansive understanding of the human mind that can make sense of its “unreasonable effectiveness” in scientific and other inquiry.

AbstractImagination, an important feature of the human mind, may be at the root of the beauty premium. The evolved human capacity for simulating the real world, developed as an adaptation to a complex social environment, may offer the key to understanding this and many other aspects of human behavior.

In modern world, hell is not the punishment but the society in which we live and the people who surround us. Through their interference in our affairs, those people make our life miserable and look like hell. This research deals with Jean Paul Sartre's play No Exit (1944) illuminating the afterlife of the others. He used three dead characters that are punished by being imprisoned into a room together for eternity. He symbolizes the room as a hell in order to represent the real world around us. Their coming into this small hell shows their indispensability to one another. They represent the essential idea of the play that others are torture for us. By emphasizing on the notion of hell being other people, Sartre shows that man's pain, suffering, depression are due to others. By repeating his prominent line 'Hell is Other People', Sartre concentrates on the relation of people that is always conflict; meaning that other people just being annoying. For him, the mere presence of another person will definitely trouble the others due to his interference in private matters. For that reason, Sartre portrays hell as a room with no torture or flames as the real torture is the presence of others. Through concentrating on the nature of man's existence, Sartre can reveal the problems of both man and society as well.

The game refinement theory focuses on the game designer perspective, where its application in various types of games provides evidence of the occurring paradigm shift. Utilizing the logistical model of game outcome uncertainty, it provides a platform for incorporating gamified experience observed in games to be adopted in domains outside of game while retaining the context of the game. Making games as a testbed, the implications of the game refinement theory have been observed in the educational and business perspective, while further explored its utility in interpreting some states of the human mind. In addition, a holistic view of design in games and in the real-world environments was discussed, where the prospects ofthe game refinement theory were also highlighted

Straipsnyje „Filosofijos ir literatūros susiliejimas nihilistiniame mąstyme“ (Problemos 2010, 77) rašiau, kad postmetafizinė filosofija turėtų suintensyvinti dialogą su literatūra ir galų gale su ja susilieti. Šiame straipsnyje siūlomos dvi galimos šio susiliejimo kryptys: 1) ribų tarp realybės ir išmonės išnykimas. Kartu su G. Vattimo atsisakę korespondentinės tiesos teorijos, prieisime prie išvados apie principinę galimybę bet kuriam naratyvui būti teisingam (angl. truthful). Nihilistiniam mąstymui būdingas silpnesnis realybės jausmas, skeptiškas požiūris į sveiko proto ar natūralistinę poziciją. Tokia situacija,aprašyta Nietzsche’s, skirtį tarp realaus pasaulio ir net neįtikėtinų pasakų daro iš principo neįmanomą. Iš to plaukia keletas toli siekiančių epistemologinių ir etinių konsekvencijų. 2) Susiliedama su literatūra, nihilistinė filosofija ieško kalbos, galinčios artikuliuoti niekį, reprezentuoti tai, kas nereprezentuojama. Straipsnyje šis siekis analizuojamas pasitelkiant postmodernaus diskurso sąvokas – literatūros erdvė, nerimas. Remiamasi Maurice Blanchot, Rolando Barthe’o ir Jeano-François Lyotard’o kūriniais. Susiliedama su literatūra nihilistinė filosofija gali gyvuoti ir neturėdama ką pasakyti.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: nihilizmas, hermeneutika, pramanytumas, niekis, postmodernus.Philosophy and Literature: Two Lines of FusionLeo Luks SummaryIn the article “The Fusion of Philosophy and Literature in Nihilist Thought” (Problemos 2010, 77) I argued that post-metaphysical philosophy should intensify its dialogue with literature to the point of their eventual fusion. In this paper I will start from the conclusions of my previous article and will highlight two possible lines of this fusion:1) The disappearance of the boundary between reality and fiction. Once we let go of the correspondencetheory of truth, as Vattimo recommends, we will arrive at the principled possibility of the truthfulness of any and all narratives. Nihilist thought is characterised by a weakened sense of reality, a renouncement of common sense and naturalism. This condition, described by Nietzsche,where making a distinction between the real world and tall tales is impossible in principle, has several far-reaching epistemological and ethical consequences.2) In its fusion with literature, nihilist thought seeks for a language to articulate the nothing, to represent the unrepresentable. In the paper I will analyse this pursuit by way of the concepts of postmodernity, the space of literature, and anxiety. I will draw on the views of Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes and Jean-François Lyotard.By fusing with literature, nihilist philosophy can continue in a situation where it has nothing to say.Keywords: nihilism, hermeneutics, fictionality, nothingness, postmodern.

The theme of the book now becomes clearer. Design is the conscious modification of the human environment. As with all selfconscious change, there will be benefits—both projected and fortuitous—and deficiencies—both expected and unanticipated. In the modern world, change is unavoidable; thus, if we are to enter into a new era of design, we should seek methods and tools that maximize the benefits as they minimize the deficiencies. Of course, in the real world of systems there will be neither maxima nor minima. Here we can only measure qualitatively, not quantitatively. Consequently, we must rely on collective judgments and accept that any reference points will become obscured by the dynamics of change. Thus, few of our problems will be amenable to a static, rational solution; most will be soft, open, wicked, and, of course, context and domain specific. This final chapter of Part II explores design in-the-world with particular emphasis on how it affects, and is affected by, the stakeholders. I use the title “Participatory Design” to distinguish this orientation from the historical approach to product development—what I have called “technological design.” In technological design, we assume that an object is to be created and, moreover, that the essential description of that object exists in a specification. The design and fabrication activities, therefore, are directed to realizing the specification. How well the specified object fits into the real world is secondary to the design process; the primary criterion for success is the fidelity of the finished product with respect to its specification. we have seen from the previous chapter, however, that this abstract model of technological design seldom exists in practice. Even in architecture, where a building must conform to its drawings, we find excellence associated with flexibility and accommodation. Thus, in reality, technological and participatory design are complementary projections of a single process. Although I will emphasize computer-based information systems in this chapter, I open the discussion with an examination of a typical hardware-oriented system.

In the proposed non-Aristotelian finitary logic (NAFL), truths for formal propositions can exist only with respect to axiomatic theories, essentially as temporary axiomatic declarations in the human mind. An undecidable proposition P in a consistent NAFL theory T is true/false with respect to T if and only if it has been axiomatically declared as true/false by virtue of its provability/refutability in an interpretation T* of T. In the absence of any such axiomatic declarations, P is in a superposed state of 'neither true nor false' and the consistency of T requires the existence of a non-classical model for T in which P&¬P is the case. Here T* is an axiomatic NAFL theory that, like T, resides in the human mind and acts as the 'truth-maker' for (a model of) T. Quantum superposition is justified by identifying 'axiomatic declarations' for the truth/falsity of P (by virtue of its provability/refutability in T*) with 'measurement' in the real world. NAFL also explains and de-mystifies the phenomenon of entanglement. NAFL severely restricts classical infinitary reasoning, but possibly provides sufficient machinery for a consistent axiomatization of quantum mechanics.

Lingual analysis allows structuring and rationalizing human perception of the real world through the primacy of semantics, the encyclopedic nature of linguistic meaning, the perspectival nature of pure lexical meaning. Cognitive science focuses on human mind, assuming it has mental representations similar to computer data structures, and computational procedures identical to computational algorithms. Supposedly, human mind relies on such mental representations as declarative knowledge including logical propositions, rules, concepts, images, and analogies. Additionally, the mind uses procedural knowledge including operations such as search, matching, retrieval and deduction. The combination of lingual and cognitive analyses turns out to be an effective tool for providing a comprehensive approach to studying and deep understanding of language concepts that reflect the phenomena of the real world. The paper deals with BUSINESS MODEL as a complicated economic concept, whose profound analysis and understanding is of great practical value for business analysis segment. Proceeding from the above, lingual and cognitive analysis of the concept BUSINESS MODEL also requires an inter-disciplinary approach, related both to linguo-cognitive and economic studies. Thus, the paper represents an attempt to clarify the mental essence of BUSINESS MODEL, which is implied by diverse language units verbalizing this concept, and to give it a rational structured form that can be easily understood and used by skillful experts in the field of economics. The research also focuses on major stages of linguo-cognitive analysis, used for establishing the relationship between mental and language representation of BUSINESS MODEL as an extralinguistic essence. The analysis offered enables determining a generalized definition of the BUSINESS MODEL in terms of cognitive linguistics and business-modeling/reengineering. At the long last, the cognitive paradigm of modern linguistic studies gives linguists the possibility to discover extralinguistic reality, mechanisms of human thinking through the lenses of language data, and processes of coding and knowledge objectification on the world in language structures. The relevance of the paper resulted from a very important scientifically practical task, namely the necessity to generalize the definition of the concept of BUSINESS MODEL in order to provide business-modeling and reengineering services to corporations. The aim of the paper is to create the conceptual interframe net of BUSINESS MODEL; to determine semantic roles (actants) as part of propositions that form frames; to find out the structure of the universal BUSINESS MODEL. The research focuses on the concept BUSINESS MODEL and a set of semantic roles and connections between them that form the concept under examination. Moreover, it has been established that BUSINESS MODEL belongs to semiotic fractal systems. The lingual and cognitive analyses gave an opportunity to figure out the preconditions for specification of top-down levels of the business-model as a multi-level construction with iterative nature.

In this paper, we shall try to shed some light on the very pressing and challenging issue of ethics in technologies under the umbrella of AI. This concern has to be discussed extensively by philosophers, economists, and AI research scholars and this process of discussion is a continuous one. Autonomous services especially those involving the use of systems that have both aspects socio-technical [5] ones can increasingly become a major factor in making the environment hostile. The inclusion of human morals into human-level intelligence systems [8] is crucial. The capacity of the human mind for formulating, ideating, conceptualizing, thinking, innovating and solving complex problems is minuscule compared with the mass of the problems, those of whom have solutions, which are essential for objectively rational and moral behavior in the real world or even for a novice reasonable approximation to such target sanity. Equally important notions to be considered to avoid possible shortcomings in and havocs due to this technology are involvement of human ethics, consideration of social and moral implications of the same.
