Recently one review of my book by such a philosopher, which I think motivated the questions in the Atlantic interview, argued not only that one particular version of the nothing described by modern physics was not relevant.
Section 2 discusses the main relevant findings in the literature that motivate the question of the paper.
As those works do not include information on the specific function or origin of the network, it is very difficult to discuss the origin of the observed networks on the basis of those models, hence motivating the question we are going to address.
This motivates the question: 'how do different preprocessing methods affect the discovery of DV genes?'.
This motivates the question of whether heterozygous DO mice are amenable to classical and pharmacologically validated biomedical behavioral tests.
This motivates the question: if multiple stimuli are able to trigger the more aggressive mesenchymal phenotype in cancer cells, do the responses to these stimuli converge upon common signalling elements, or do they achieve similar phenotypic outcomes through distinctly different molecular pathways?
The availability of somatic mutation data from increasing numbers of cancer patients motivates the question of whether it is possible to identify driver pathways, groups of genes with recurrent driver mutations, de novo; i.e. without prior knowledge of interactions between genes/proteins.
Motivation was dichotomized: 'not being motivated' included the categories: indifferent, discouraged and very discouraged, and 'motivated' included the categories motivated and very motivated to the question 'How motivated are you in your work?' Factors associated with not being motivated in univariate analysis (P < 0.10) were selected for multivariate analysis.
The authors' experience in using these models was that they motivated the appropriate questions to explore the missing data structure, leading to a better understanding of the origins of the data.
His work was motivated by the question of how arbitrary social categories (such as those within kinship, race, or class) had originated.
