Journal of Philosophical Logic, 2001
In natural languages the term `actually' is used ambiguously. The author formalizes propositional and quantified modal logics with indices ascribed to the modal operator of necessity and to the `actuality operator', which should make it possible to avoid the ambiguities. Both systems, together with extensions of six systems of standard modal logic, are

Abstract The work of Frank Jackson has been important to at least two central debates in consequentialist ethical theory: (1) between possibilism and actualism and (2) between objective consequentialism and expectabilism (or a variety of subjective consequentialism).

Actuality and Actuality as of a Time
2001Readers of Michael Tooley’s excellent book Causation: A Realist Approach (1987) will rightly predict that Time,Tense, and Causation will also contain many interesting and highly original theses that are supported by some intricate precisely formulated arguments.

Foundations of Science, 2015
In my reply to the commentaries by Babette Babich and Robert C. Scharff I make a distinction between critical remarks and additions that are relevant for my view on philosophy for substantive reasons and others that relate to a style or way of philosophizing. My reply to Scharff concerns the latter.

Mereotopologies with Predicates of Actual Existence and Actual Contact
Fundamenta Informaticae, 2017We discuss in this work the importance of some predicates of ontological existence in mereology and in mereotopology especially for systems incorporating time. Tarski showed that mereology can be identified in some sense with complete Boolean algebras with zero 0 deleted.

The archivability of reality in images that capture a fleeting moment, or a series of them, bringing them back to life as‘undead’ reality, suffuses the ‘symphony of horror’ that is Nosferatu, and allows for the discussion of a longstanding cinematic horror discourse around mediation and documentation that predates millennial horror and the found ...

Journal of Philosophical Logic, 1984
In this paper I present the model-theoretic semantics for modal languages with an actuality operator; I axiomatize the valid and the strongly valid formulae of any such language. I then prove that certain conditions on modal models which are easily expressed using quantification over possibilia cannot be expressed in quantified modal languages ...

Actual Preferences, Actual People
Utilitas, 1991Maximizing want-satisfactionper seis a relatively unattractive aspiration, for it seems to assume that wants are somehow disembodied entities with independent moral claims all of their own. Actually, of course, they are possessed by particular people. What preference-utilitarians should be concerned with is how people's lives go—the fulfilment of their

Actual Entity and Actual Occasion: Are These Terms Interchangeable or Quite Different?
Process Studies, 2017Abstract In this article I argue against the claim that “actual entity” and “actual occasion” are synonymous in Whitehead. My examination of these terms will help to illuminate the role of “society” in Whitehead’s philosophy and to prepare the way for a fruitful comparison of process thought and contemporary systems theory in the ...
