The aim of this paper is to reveal the prefigurative status of Spengler's philosophy towards nietzscheanian thought. As a focus for this discussion, we will compare the main metaphysical categories of both philosophers from structuralistic, functional and semantic perspectives. Furthermore, the concept of their philosophy reveals the regaining of art, inspired mainly by romantic ideals, as the greatest activity of human being. The second part of this paper seeks to extend the problem of individualism in both philosophies, as a result of their strong connection with the paradigm of the German myth of Greece.
The aim of this paper is to show that the middle level of mental representations in a conceptual spaces framework is consistent with the OOP paradigm. We argue that conceptual spaces framework together with vague prototype theory of categorization appears to be the most suitable solution for modeling the cognitive apparatus of humans, and that the OOP paradigm can be easily and intuitively reconciled with this framework. First, we show that the prototypebased OOP approach is consistent with Gärdenfors’ model in terms of structural coherence. Second, we argue that the product of cloning process in a prototype-based model is in line with the structure of categories in Gärdenfors’ proposal. Finally, in order to make the fuzzy object-oriented model consistent with conceptual space, we demonstrate how to define membership function in a more cognitive manner, i.e. in terms of similarity to prototype.
