Chunk and permeate III: the Dirac delta function
Synthese 191 (13):3057-3062 (2014)
Abstract
Dirac’s treatment of his well known Delta function was apparently inconsistent. We show how to reconstruct his reasoning using the inconsistency-tolerant technique of Chunk and Permeate. In passing we take note of limitations and developments of that techniqueAuthor Profiles
