Understanding Legal Understanding-- Part II Rational reconstruction thus makes use of rational deconstruction not only in determining which consistent sets of principles and policies could serve as a rational reconstruction, but also in deciding which parts of the legal corpus must be explained by the rational reconstruction and which parts can be jettisoned as mistaken. To say that law is amenable to rational reconstruction is to make a claim about both an object and a subject who constructs the object in a particular way so that she may understand it. Rational reconstruction then becomes simply one of many devices in our hermeneutical toolbox, a form of understanding that nevertheless may rely upon and interact with others even as they rely upon and interact with it. www.yale.edu /lawweb/jbalkin/articles/under2.htm

20th WCP: Thoughts on a Possible Rational Reconstruction of the Method of "Rational Reconstruction" A "rational reconstruction of the first degree" is dominated by the descriptive impetus, i.e., by the requirement of similarity, which here has to be strictly interpreted as a criterion of material non-creativity. A "rational reconstruction of the second degree" is dominated by the prescriptive impetus, i.e., the pursuit of precision and consistency, which here have to be interpreted as even material criteria of creativity. A graduating rational reconstruction of a standard concept of rational reconstruction will be suggested, differentiating the concept of rational reconstruction according to normativity, and explicating the method of rational reconstruction into two such variants. www.bu.edu /wcp/Papers/Scie/ScieDavi.htm

CHAPTER III Reconstruction, in short, is to be achieved by a rational criticism and construction of the Islamic tradition and modern science. The point of this verse for Iqbal’s defence of the rational approach to the problem of Islamic reconstruction is not clear at once, but emerges from Iqbal’s determination to reach the mind of modern man and modern Muslims and from the course of his Lectures. Iqbal seems to be of the view that at the present time a rational approach to the problem of the reconstruction of Islamic religious thought is the most suitable one. www.crvp.org /book/Series02/IIA-3/chapter_iii.htm

HES: RVW -- Sent on _Modeling Rational Agents_ Another contrast that may be drawn is between rational and historical reconstruction (see Khalil 1995; Rorty 1984), where rational reconstruction (or a Whiggish perspective) starts from the idea that the theory from one school could be extracted, without much violence, from the author's body of thought, its underpinning vision, and its environmental context. 54) perceptively notes, rational reconstructions are not likely to converge, and there is no reason why they should. As a result of its focus on thin history, or rational reconstruction, _Modeling Rational Agents_ is bound to be subject to the same kinds of criticisms expressed on the HES List. www.eh.net /pipermail/hes/2003-December/001109.html

Rational reconstruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rational reconstruction is a philosophical and linguistic method that systematically translates intuitive knowledge of rules into a logical form (Habermas 1979). This page was last modified 09:11, 21 June 2005. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rational_reconstruction

New Page 1 His reconstruction embodies both the idea of a universalistic moral judgement, by which everybody judges in accordance with a common reason: and the idea of the mutual recognition that allows the self-respect of everybody to flourish in a community. This reconstruction is both a theoretical and philosophical reconstruction of the quasi-transcendental presuppositions of individuality and community. The problem is the narrow definition of rationality, first as institutional, that is, mediated by language, work and interaction, second as procedural, that is, controlled by the validation of truth claims, and third as limited to a civil society independent of state power and moneyed interest. construct.haifa.ac.il /~ilangz/oslo/lars.htm

Element Operations In addition, s is allowed to be a matrix over a prime finite field, in which case the existence (and, if possible, value) of a rational reconstruction of the matrix is determined. Rational numbers are always immediately put in reduced form, that is, the greatest common divisor of numerator and denominator is taken out, and the denominator will be positive. Returns the minimal polynomial of the rational number q, which is the monic linear polynomial with constant coefficient q in a univariate polynomial ring R over the rational field. www.math.lsu.edu /magma/text537.htm

Reconstruction 5.1 (Winter 2005) If we are to consider the criterion of rationality as a mere possibility of learning through argumentation (and mistakes) then it is too thin a conception of rationality to be of any use for deciding the substantive claims such as the possibility of moral progress in human history. What is counted as rational is defined by the theory of communicative action while the theory of evolution explains the level of recognition (and realisation) of these standards at a given historical point. However if the standard of rationality is provided by the theory of communication, which is a formal theory, the adjudication process described by the theory of evolution can also be only formal and structural (and ultimately derived from the theory of communicative action). www.reconstruction.ws /051/rizvi.shtml

Herneoja.doc During the post-war reconstruction period it was, in addition to the natural materials own colouring, very typical to exploit the authentic natural green tones in the interior colourings. During the post-war reconstruction period attention was paid to the own colours of natural materials such as wood and stone material. During the post-war reconstruction period the skilful use of natural materials as part of the fixed interiors was very typical. www.iscc.org /aic2001/abstracts/oral/Herneoja.doc

GMIG / Application Oriented Advanced Geometry A theorem on rational parameterizations for envelopes of natural wuadrics leads to algorithms for the computation of rational parameterizations of surfaces; those include canal surfaces with rational spine curve and rational radius function, offsets of rational ruled surfaces or quadrics, and surfaces generated by peripheral milling with a cylindrical or conical cutter. Rational canal surfaces are treated as cyclographic images of rational curves in R^4. The geometry of lines occurs naturally in such different areas as sculptured surface machining, computation of offsets and medial axes, surface reconstruction for reverse engineering, geometrical optics, kinematics and motion design, and modeling of developable surfaces. www.dmg.tuwien.ac.at /fg4/aoag.html

seligman market and community article Rational choice theory has made a bid for hegemony throughout the social sciences, using economics as the launching pad, philosophy as the stalking-horse, and political science as the vehicle. Modern, rational, calculative, and post-Cartesian individuals may be very different from the traditional, communal, and collectively constituted individuals whose sense of self rests on a more external, expressive, and authoritative set of assumptions and moral orientations. Now, all of this is not to say that rational choice models of self are empirically wrong and that culturalist ones are right: rather the implication is that both types of self may exist. www.bu.edu /cura/about/seligmanmaterials/seligmanmarketandcommunityarticle.htm

The Rational Function Model Moreover, rational function has the added advantage of permitting efficient approximation of functions that have infinite discontinuities near, but outside, the interval of fitting, while polynomial approximation is generally unacceptable in this situation. The Rational Function Model (RFM) is treated as a sensor model that allows users to perform ortho-rectification and 3D feature extraction from imagery without knowledge of the physical sensor model. Rational Function Model (RFM), also called Rational Polynomial Camera Model (RPC), is an alternative sensor model allowing users to perform photogrammetric processing in absence of the physical sensor model. www.geoict.net /project/rationalmapper/rationalmapper.htm

Toward a Rational Reconstruction of Design Inferences But before we embark on such a rational reconstruction, we need both a clear sense of what the project is about and some criteria by which to evaluate rival proposals. In the second section I propose seven criteria and argue that they are plausible constraints on any rational reconstruction of design inferences. In the first section of this paper I discuss the potential tension between the rationality and the verisimilitude of our reconstructions and suggest that despite the difficulties inherent in this project the game is very much worth the candle. vms.cc.wmich.edu /~mcgrew/design05.htm

T. Koetsier : Lakatos' Philosophy of Mathematics, A Historical Approach From the failure of his own attempt at reconstruction, Spalt drew the conclusion that all attempts to characterize mathematical rationality in terms of the MSRP or related models are bound to fail. A rational reconstruction is a reconstruction that is explicitly based on a particular methodology. One conclusion of Chapter I is that, although the rational reconstructions on the basis of the MPandR are quite counter-factual when taken as reconstructions of historical developments, they reveal important heuristic patterns. peccatte.karefil.com /Quasi/KoetsierOnLakatos.html

CHAPTER4 Followers of Lakatos may argue that I have misconstrued Lakatos's point; that all he is arguing is that a rational reconstruction shows a "fruitfulness" or progressiveness "edge" to heliostasis, that although the situation was not absolutely clear, one could not deny in the late 16th century the "poor public record" of geostasis (Ibid., p. -- and it provides a means for evaluating competing theories of scientific methodology, because a rational reconstruction of scientific change based upon a proposed theory of scientific methodology should reveal the greatest possible content in internal history and should not relegate important moments of scientific change solely to external history. Further evidence of Lakatosian confusion is seen in that Lakatos wants a cake-and-eat-too situation: the Copernican proposal was immediately progressive on the basis of a rational reconstruction of the late 16th century, but it was also immediately degenerative, and this is why Kepler eventually produced elliptical orbits. www.hcc.hawaii.edu /~pine/Thesis/CHAPTER4.htm

lifts Well, that's why I tried 150 primes -- it turns out that the rational coefficients had numerators and denominators which were about 750 digits each, so it wasn't until N had at least 1500 digits (hence 150 primes) that an obvious solution appeared. This proved very difficult to do rationally, but could be done mod-p in about a minute or two. Now, for a "generic" prime p, that polynomial f_p should be the reduction, mod p, of the polynomial f I was really looking for -- the polynomial with _rational_ coefficients which my variable was to satisfy. www.math.niu.edu /~rusin/known-math/98/lifts

Jacques Bidet, Explanation and reconstruction of Marx’s Capital But it is split into a declaration of “that ought to be” (to be recognised as free, equal, rational people) and, as such, is a reference for the class struggle, and a declaration of “that is” (already achieved) and, as such, is a reference for domination. At the beginning, there lies the presupposition of a common freedom, which, insofar as it is indeterminate, consists in the reasonable co-implication and in the mutual rational co-embedding of the interindividual and the central form of contractuality. Not merely the law of economic production and relations, but also the juridico-political law: on the market all individuals supposedly recognize each other as free, equal and rational. perso.wanadoo.fr /jacques.bidet/explreco.htm

EXPERIENCE and PREDICTION This task is already partially performed in the rational reconstruction, for the fictive set of operations occurring here is chosen from the point of view of justifiability; we replace actual thinking by such operations as are justifiable, that is, as can be demonstrated as valid. If a more convenient determination of this concept of rational reconstruction is wanted, we might say that it corresponds to the form in which thinking processes are communicated to other persons instead of the form in which they are subjectively performed. And rationally reconstructed knowledge can only be given in the language form -- that needs no further explanation, since it may be taken as a part of the definition of what we call rational reconstruction. csmaclab-www.uchicago.edu /philosophyProject/sellars/reich/reich1.html

Eco-Mind & Thinking Reverentially Eco-philosophy, as I see it, is a rational reconstruction of the human condition as we approach the twenty-first century. I insist that both rationality and emotions, insight and abstract reasons are capacities which evolution and human beings have evolved and which we enjoy. However, I do not identify reason and rationality with the precepts of narrow science, or with computer-like thinking. www.iouedu.com /press/06skol/06_02.html

In Search of a Solid Foundation for Universally Binding Legal Human Rights The third aspect of the definition is that rationality is expressed when one considers a definite subject-matter, or object of thought (which can be various not-withstanding the unity of the capacity of Reason). We assumed that human beings are both rational, embodied and having limited powers over their environment. Consequently, an individual is said to be rational when that individual has the ability to think consistently about some subject-matter. www.whatrain.com /rights/page1.htm

ISSAC 2004 The rational reconstruction problem is; given u and m find n/d. Thus u is the image of a rational number modulo m. This means that in a modular algorithm where m is a product of primes, the modular algorithm will need about one prime more than the minimum necessary to reconstruct n/d; thus if n www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at /issac2004/abstracts/2.html

BBC NEWS Business Booming markets shed few tears The need to find money to replace lost and damaged property is balanced by the beneficial effect of reconstruction activity; there is rarely, the centre says, any sort of rebuilding boom, but in most cases sizeable indirect losses are avoided. Asian stock markets are heavily inclined towards property and construction companies, many of which will be rubbing their hands over the reconstruction opportunities. In fact, the markets are being perfectly rational. news.bbc.co.uk /2/low/business/4131941.stm

FindLaw's Writ - Dorf: The Unanimous Supreme Court Decision in The Iowa Gambling Case The rational basis test ensures that the decision to choose one set of classifications rather than another is left in the hands of elected officials and regulatory agencies, rather than judges. Under the modern, rational basis approach, courts do not rely upon their own judgment about whether a law is reasonable; rather, they defer to the judgment of the legislature. More likely, if the courts were to abandon the rational basis test, they would return to the pre-1937 practice of reaching their own judgments about what is reasonable and what is not. writ.news.findlaw.com /dorf/20030611.html

Scientific method In the 17th century Francis Bacon attempted to describe a rational procedure for establishing causation between phenomena. Galileo Galilei introduced quantitative experimentation and mathematical analysis, which permitted the enunciation of general physical laws. Bacon described a repeating cycle of observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and the need for independent verification. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/scientific_method_1

Ends of legal fetishism The first of these, called rational reconstruction, describes the process of attempting to understand and defend the law for the purpose of a specific application; legal coherence is the successful result of this process. In the plot which ensues, Oedipa never engages in any direct interrogation of the law that could be read as rational reconstruction or deconstruction; but the process by which she attempts to sort out Inverarity's estate nonetheless betrays a specific interpretive attitude toward the legal object she pursues. For Balkin, the "key question" in considering the likelihood of successful rational reconstruction is "whether an individual has an 'ontological stake' in the coherence of the legal system, a particular set of legal doctrines, or a particular political or moral theory she believes is embodied in the law." tarlton.law.utexas.edu /lpop/etext/okla/kocela24.htm

The Reconstruction Needed for a Scientifically Rational Politics The Reconstruction Needed for a Scientifically Rational Politics 8.1 — The Reconstruction Needed for a Scientifically Rational Politics As we turn from values now to actual socio-political action it has to be confessed that the elements of uncertainty in the last chapter due to having to lean on a social science which does not yet exist are still further magnified. www.efn.org /~callen/anmfshtml/section8.1.htm
