    An Overview of Possibilistic Handling of Default Reasoning, with Experimental Studies.Salem Benferhat, Jean F. Bonnefon & Rui da Silva Neves - 2005 - Synthese 146 (1-2):53-70.
    This paper first provides a brief survey of a possibilistic handling of default rules. A set of default rules of the form, "generally, from α deduce β", is viewed as the family of possibility distributions satisfying constraints expressing that the situation where α and β is true has a greater plausibility than the one where α and ⇁β is true. When considering only the subset of linear possibility distributions, the well-known System P of postulates proposed by Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor, (...)

    Rationality in human nonmonotonic inference.Rui Da Silva Neves, Jean-François Bonnefon & Eric Raufaste - 2000 - Linköping Electronic Articles in Computer and Information Science 5.
    This article tests human inference rationality when dealing with default rules. To study human rationality, psychologists currently use classical models of logic or probability theory as normative models for evaluating human ability to reason rationally. Our position is that this approach is convincing, but only manages to capture a specific case of inferential ability with little regard to conditions of everyday reasoning. We propose that the most general case to be considered is inference with imperfect knowledge - in the present (...)

    From scientific structuralism to transcendental structuralism.Patricia Kauark-Leite & Ronaldo Penna Neves - 2016 - Kriterion: Journal of Philosophy 57 (135):759-780.
    ABSTRACT In the current debate between scientific realism and empiricism, both sides seem to embrace some sort of structuralism as an important component of their descriptions of science. The structural realism is generally presented in two versions: one ontic and the other epistemic. It has been argued that that epistemic structural realism is close, if not identical, to a Kantian approach. We aim to show that this is not the case, since ESR, being fundamentally a realist position, cannot be fully (...)

    Combining totalitarian and Ceteris Paribus semantics in database preference queries.Rui da Silva Neves & Souhila Kaci - 2010 - Logic Journal of the IGPL 18 (3):464-483.
    Preference queries from databases aim to retrieve the best answers w.r.t. user's requirements. The integration of preferences in database queries has known many advances in the last decade. Most of works however are based on comparative preference statements obeying more or less strong semantics. Representing and reasoning about comparative preference statements has also been widely investigated in Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we bridge the two frameworks and develop a simple and unified framework to reason about preferences in database queries. (...)

    Pluralismo religioso e transformação social-eclesial.Rui Manuel Grácio das Neves - 2015 - Horizonte 13 (40):2248-2267.
    This article starts with a historical questioning of postmodernity religious phenomenon, revisiting the "Masters of Suspicion", trying to detect the "perversions" of religion. The article presents the spirituality as something different from religion. Spirituality as the expression of the ancient spiritual traditions and religion as their historical formulations. It is argued that a Holistic Spirituality would seek convergences between all spiritual traditions. From that point we examine some of the major contemporary challenges, namely neoliberalism, postmodernity, as well as matters relating (...)

    Schopenhauer em Signos: maquinismo e livre-arbítrio no magnetismo do amor.Roberto da França Neves - 2021 - Voluntas: Revista Internacional de Filosofia 11 (3):189-206.
    A publicação de Signos (1897), de Nestor Victor, é um marco na expansão conceitual do Simbolismo no Brasil e nas reflexões acerca dos problemas da civilização no fim de século. Verifica-se nos seus contos a presença do heterodiscurso, sendo fundamental a voz de Arthur Schopenhauer, tendo como referência a sua obra Metafísica do Amor. Por outro lado, o narrador desenvolverá uma voz que se oporá ao maquinismo do amor, a essa determinação dos sentimentos pelo dever biológico. No universo de Signos, (...)
