“…In classical mechanics, Kapitza pendulum or Stephenson-Kapitza pendulum [1,2] is a statically unstable inverted pendulum whose statically unstable equilibrium position is stabilized by small fast vertical oscillations of the pivot point. This induced stability initially described by A. Stephenson [3] has been first explained by P. L. Kapitza [1]. To find theoretical reason of the induced stability Kapitza separated the pendulum motion into fast and slow oscillations and, by averaging out fast ones, found the effective potential which has minimum at the pendulum upper position, in contrast to a simple pendulum.…”

In a dissipative dynamic system driven by an oscillating force, a strong nonlinear highly oscillatory friction force can create a quasi-steady tug, which is always directed opposite to the ponderomotive force induced due to a spatial inhomogeneity of oscillations. When the friction-induced tug exceeds the ponderomotive force, the friction stabilizes the system oscillations near the maxima of the oscillation spatial amplitude.

The Nature of Question-Begging Arguments

QUESTION-BEGGING ARGUMENTS, which crop up quite often in discussions of controversial issues, constitute serious obstacles to progress in rational resolution of conflicts of opinion. With a modicum of instruction, conscientious disputants learn to detect question-begging steps in their opponents' manoeuvres, and to avoid such fallacious arguments in their own contributions. Yet theorists have had a surprisingly difficult time providing a satisfactory explication of the fallacy of begging the question. In a previous paper, I criticized a number of recent philosophical stances on the fallacy, and formulated a view of my own. 1 David Sanford showed in a reply that my account was vague and incomplete in several respects. 2 In light of his valuable criticisms, I will now attempt to provide a clear, complete and concise reformulation of my theory.
