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

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.

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 ...

The concept of transforming power over to power with, the theme of this issue of Creative Nursing, comes from Riane Eisler's cultural transformation theory describing a continuum of domination and partnership along which cultures orient themselves.

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 ...

“Actual” and “actually” are fundamental terms of ontology. “Actually p” is logically equivalent to “p” and to “It is true that p”; that is, “p if and only if actually p” is a necessary truth. That is a position taken in this book. During the “modal metaphysics” boom of the 1970s and 1980s, however, it was argued by David Lewis, in ways that commanded ...

Abstract As opposed to other things one does or can do with text, its “actual reading” is defined here as the actualization of scriptive (hence phonetic) signals in the construction of its aesthetic as well as semantic force. The silent sounding of literary letters is the base-line of textual generation, thrown into relief by contrast ...

Actual Arithmetic and Feasibility
2001This paper presents a methodology for reasoning about the computational complexity of functional programs. We introduce a first order arithmetic $\StrictTa$ which is a syntactic restriction of Peano arithmetic. We establish that the set of functions which are provably total in $\StrictTa$, is exactly the set of polynomial time functions.The cut ...
