Note 3: The concept "calculability" is at the heart of Max Weber's important work General Economic History, trans. ❋ Unknown (2006)
All this calculability and predictability in political, social, and economic spheres was not possible without changes of values in ethics, religion, psychology, and culture. ❋ Unknown (2009)
But Horkheimer and Adorno equate formalism with the drive to make nature calculable, and calculability is assimilated to usefulness. ❋ Berendzen, J.C. (2009)
The enhanced calculability of the production process is also buttressed by that in non-economic spheres such as law and administration. ❋ Unknown (2009)
This search for exact calculability underpins such institutional innovations as monetary accounting (especially double-entry bookkeeping), centralization of production control, separation of workers from the means of production, supply of formally free labour, disciplined control on the factory floor, and other features that make modern capitalism qualitatively different from all other forms of economic life. ❋ Unknown (2009)
On the one hand, exact calculability and predictability in the social environment that formal rationalization has brought about dramatically enhances individual freedom by helping individuals to understand and navigate through the complex web of institutions in order to realize the ends of their own choice. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The Dutch created, in short, a realm of safety and calculability that nurtured commerce and industry. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The much-discussed Protestant Ethic is only a minor part of Weber's general theory of capitalism, which focuses on institutions and practices that impede or foster calculability. back ❋ Unknown (2006)
The Princeton logician Alonzo Church had slightly outpaced Turing in finding a satisfactory definition of what he called ˜effective calculability.™ ❋ Hodges, Andrew (2007)
Another definition of effective calculability has been given by Church ¦ who identifies it with lambda-definability. ❋ Hodges, Andrew (2007)
The important work is done by developing a notion of a pragmatic implicature that does not rely upon calculability and indeed that does not require the propositions semantically encoded by the relevant utterances to play any role in the conscious psychological lives of the participants of the conversation. ❋ McKay, Thomas (2005)
Green (2002) have recently suggested that implicature should be conceived more normatively, making calculability a defensible condition for its application. ❋ Davis, Wayne (2005)
Post referred to Church's identification of effective calculability with recursiveness as a "working hypothesis", and quite properly criticised Church for masking this hypothesis as a definition. ❋ Copeland, B. Jack (2002)
The Heisenberg Principle clearly demonstrates the calculability of the uncertainties to which you so glibly allude. ❋ Goldin, Stephen (1978)
It had been for many days almost as difficult for her to catch a quiet twenty minutes with her father as it had formerly been easy; there had been in fact, of old -- the time, so strangely, seemed already far away -- an inevitability in her longer passages with him, a sort of domesticated beauty in the calculability, round about them, of everything. ❋ Henry James (1879)
