Formalists claim that legal realism is not true to the rule of law; realists respond that despite what formalists say, formalism isn't how the law really works. Throughout his career, Sturr integrated pristine formalism with a tender humanism. Gadamer uses Kant's aesthetic formalism to illustrate this point. Waismann criticized both logicism and formalism. But at least it's better than formalism, logicism, intuitionism, constructivism or Platonism. For students steeped in late classical formalism, myself included, Lachmann's message of radical subjectivism was strange stuff indeed. 1.3 Concern or excessive concern with form and technique rather than content in artistic creation. 形式主义艺术 Example sentencesExamples In this fertile period he has embraced aspects of classicism, formalism, surrealism and most obviously, postmodernism. They used their bodies to challenge modernist formalism, traditional relationships between artist and medium, and the boundaries between artist, spectator, and mass culture. In this way, neoclassicism's insistent formalism did little to close the gap between style and meaning. Seeing as how pop music thrives on various levels of artifice, questions of authenticity aren't typically worth the effort, but it's hard not to hear more formalism than feeling in these rustic songs. Coercive, manipulative attempts to recur to the symbolic (to enlist the unconscious mind) end in dead formalism, like bad adolescent prose and most modern poetry. The brothers are often accused of empty formalism, offering up homages to film genres but lacking soul. His music combined dazzling bursts of musical light with Gallic elegance and the rigorous formalism of a classicist. The rival personae can contradict each other, so that the poetry is pulled one way and the other, between the extremes of sterile formalism and sloganeering. If we could just appreciate the rightness of formalism over ‘ideas’ then we'd be on the right track. Desolation has become global and the photographer's world is decidedly anchored in formalism. Though the Hives open themselves up to style-over-substance gripes, there is real feeling amidst their artifice and formalism. This essay praised Propp's work, but pointed out that the problem with formalism was its policy of ignoring thematic content. Artists guilty or suspected of formalism were persecuted and encouraged to make public recantations for their offences. Here, he used the intimacy of video to infiltrate the intense, distancing formalism of modernist dwellings and let us peer into some fanciful dramas unfolding within them. The best work on the show fluctuates between two greatly differing styles, one a kind of elemental formalism, the other a figurative, narrative post-modernism. In its hostility towards formalism, Performance art related to other contemporary movements, including Conceptual art and Environmental art. This latest show, however, confirms that his art is still resolutely factual and transparent, and his commitment to a kind of painterly formalism undiminished. A slew of sculptors have emerged in Los Angeles in the last few years, but most seem stuck in either constrictive formalism or murky surrealism. Judd's thesis augured the inevitable evolution of Modern art into pure formalism and object-ness. Geczy's basic argument is that craft without an idea is simple formalism, a naïve tendency that can lead to all sorts of dark consequences. 1.4 (in the theater) a symbolic and stylized manner of production. （戏剧用语）形式主义演出风格 1.5 The treatment of mathematics as a manipulation of meaningless symbols. 形式论 Example sentencesExamples He approaches the subject with a physics-first attitude that allows the student to get to the fun parts without spending months learning formalism. Brouwer emphasizes, as he had done in his dissertation, that formalism presupposes contentual mathematics at the metalevel. He has also made this formalism more useful for practical calculations. The other basic version of formalism likens the practice of mathematics to a game played with linguistic characters. Synonyms dogmatism, purism, literalism 2A description of something in formal mathematical or logical terms. 形式体系 Example sentencesExamples Qualitative modeling provides formalisms for expressing intuitive, causal models and the reasoning techniques needed to generate predictions and explanations from them for helping students see the consequences of their ideas. A wide range of plant-modeling formalisms is possible, depending on the category of system being controlled. The Maximum Likelihood section provides the details of the mathematical formalisms and computations. The mathematics of self-reference involves creating formalisms to reflect the strange situation in which something produces A, which produces B, which produces A. Pi-calculus and related formalisms are complex, but business people couldn't care less about formalisms. Your proposal, therefore, has to give us a finite theory which combines these two formalisms. Some subjectivity exists in the choice between models having few parameters, which favour the accuracy of their estimation, and more complex formalisms that are generally required to express ideas on biological processes. These logical formalisms are applied and tested in applications in other sciences, in everyday phenomena or in logic and mathematics themselves. In the following subsections, we present the mathematical structures and focus on the mathematical soundness of the formalisms. Yet the development of the general theory of relativity introduced Einstein to the power of abstract mathematical formalisms, notably that of tensor calculus. Let us illustrate how a control strategy can be described qualitatively, using typical formalisms in qualitative physics. But, in the past, technology ended up generating objects - while science ended up generating rules and embedding them or expressing them in formalisms. It argues that qualitative formalisms and reasoning engines provide the means necessary to support learners in developing such conceptual models. Any attempt to disprove the theory of evolution using thermodynamics will require proper formalisms. This article highlights the mathematical foundations of formalisms proposed to mimic human qualitative reasoning along with potential and limitations. A synergy between the development of theoretical formalisms, modeling and experimental work is fundamental to addressing the nanoelectronic challenges. Lachmann asked modern Austrians to rebel against the equilibrium models and logical formalisms of contemporary economic reasoning. The most simple formalisms link crop growth to fertilization regime or to time, expressed in days or in time units (cumulative degree-days) from sowing. However, the formalisms that I'd learned in 1968 were out of date, and I understood only vaguely what the new ideas were and how they had been motivated. These formalisms do not adequately describe cases where the enzyme or substrate are membrane bound.
