Einstein began the relativistic cosmology by his 1917 paper. But what is his most important contribution to the cosmology? I will argue that the answer is that he changed the notion of gravity so as to imply both the attractive and the repulsive force. Beginning with the elements of the general relativity, I will briefly review de Sitter's objection against Einstein's spherical universe, Lemaitre's and Eddington's works, the classic version of the expanding universe, the big-bang cosmology, and the inflationary cosmology. The seminal ideas emerged from the Einstein-de Sitter controversy culminated in the fruitful results of the inflationary cosmology, and the key idea was the gravity as a repulsive force.

Galileo and Descartes made an important contribution to the making of modern mechanics in the Scientific Revo-lution. However, there are crucial differences between their views on the nature of gravity and on the concept of iner-tial motion. They indicate the difference between their methods of science.Huygens supported Descartes' mechanical natural phi-losophy and based his theory of light on the corpuscular theory. But he criticized Decartes' excessive confidence in his own philosophy. Huygens gave higher priority to the solution of individual problems than to the construction of a whole system. He developed the problem-oriented method of Galileo's mathematical physics.

In the finst place, I tried to make the meaning of the word dialectical "Contradiction" clear. It seems to me there are two usages of that term. The first, the contradiction in existence. The second, the contradiction in logical. It is my principal purpose in this two subject how we can get no contradiction.In my opinion, to find the contradiction in existence consists of Aristotle's principle of contradiction. As to the methodology of the expressional contradiction, for "Real Existence, " I took the cases of ideal dialectic and material dialectic, and analysed the relation between their expressional contradiction.

David Chalmers presented a zombie argument, from which the falsity of physicalism allegedly follows. Although many authors who criticize this argument attack the derivation of the metaphysical possibility of zombies from the logical possibility of zombies, in this paper I will argue against the very first premise of the argument: the logical possibility of zombies. I will show the a priori impossibility of zombies, through what I call the Blinking Qualia argument.

Does (the former) “Part II” of the Philosophical Investigations represent departures for new directions toward the “philosophy of psychology”? In this article, we will go back to Wittgenstein's pre-Investigations writings and see that the examination of the concept of meaning experiences, together with the examination of other “peculiar” psychological experiences, constitutes a driving force within his later philosophy. In particular, we will note that Part II of the Brown Book deals predominantly with themes from the philosophy of psychology, and how Wittgenstein attempts therein to represent descriptions of experiences in terms of the grammar of expression, thereby shunning the Augustinian conception of description. Such interest in meaning experiences and related psychological experiences is not fully reflected in the last sections of “Part I” of the Investigations. In view of Wittgenstein's prior concern, the possibility strongly remains that the now severed “Part II” forms in some way an indispensable part of his unfinished masterpiece.

In the “Appendix B” to his Principles of Mathematics (1903), Bertrand Russell developed a theory of types that is different explicitly from his so-called “ramified” theory of types in Principia Mathematica (1910). It is not easy to evaluate properly this “Appendix B” theory of types, because (A) it is sometimes thought that it is only a rough sketch added hastily, and (B) it seems to play no role for Russellʼs later theoretical developments. But in this paper, I shall show that both (A) and (B) are not correct and that the “Appendix B” theory of types played an important role for his theoretical developments leading to the ramified theory of types.

We discuss the equational representations of the elimination rule of inductive types, with a focus on the type “natural number”, in the context of the series of approaches to separating an equational calculus from logic. We go back to a source of the purely equational representation of the elimination rule, Wittgenstein's uniqueness rule. We analyze Wittgenstein's argument, in comparison with others', which gives supplementary remarks to Marion-Okada (2018).

Various research findings about conflict of interest (COI) converge on the worrisome influence of COI on research results. This paper aim to diagnose problems of current institutional safeguards against the influence of COI and then suggest how to improve them. I will summarize the findings about the influence of COI and the safeguards against it. At the same time, I will give the diagnosis that the lack of reliable COI risk assessment is a crucial deficit. Therefore, my proposal is a way to implement scientfic COI risk assessment, which is based on the previous works in philosophy of science and risk study.
