Aristotle on ethical ascription : a philosophical exercise in the interpretation of the role and significance of the hekousios/akousios distinction in Aristotle's Ethics

open access: yes, 2010
In his ethical treatises Aristotle offers a rich account of those conditions that render people’s behaviour involuntary, and defines voluntariness on the basis of the absence of these conditions. This dissertation has two aims. One is to offer an account

The heigth, length and width of social theory

open access: yes, 2010
This chapter reflects on the ontology of the social, and in particular on the ontological terms of social theory itself. Tarde’s revival in sociology involves just such ‘coming-into-terms’ of sociology with its own modes of description and analysis: an ...

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Curvature‐Tuned Friction at Electrified Ionic Liquid Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 46, 8 June 2026.
Graphene curvature plays a key role in friction electrotunability at single‐asperity contacts lubricated by ionic liquids. A 9 nm radius yields stronger tunability than larger radii, with distinct friction coefficients at low and high loads indicating a shift in the slippage plane.

Mapping the landscape of research findings: Generalization across contexts in strategic management research

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1793-1808, June 2026.
Abstract Research Summary Knowledge accumulation requires that we understand whether and when relationships identified in any research setting generalize to others—that is, suggesting domains where results hold (or not). Strategy scholars carefully identify how theoretical mechanisms operate in their chosen research contexts, but attend less to whether

open access: yes
In this thesis I argue that Foucault's dispersive historiography is a deepening rather than a purifying of historical existence. This emphasis upon dispersion as a critical principle is contrasted with, and delimited by the possibility of the ...

Studying Hidden Curriculum Beyond Schools: A Method for Tracing Workplace Learning Through Valuation Practices

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Hidden curriculum research has traditionally focused on schools, universities and professional training settings. Yet many contemporary workplaces also function as pedagogic environments in which tacit norms, evaluative standards and forms of accountability are learned through participation rather than explicit instruction. This paper proposes

Perseverance Without Progress: Systemic Conditions of Climate Governance

open access: yesJournal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global climate governance has produced ambitious agreements and extensive policy frameworks, yet decisive action remains out of reach. Emissions continue to overshoot Paris targets, and warnings of accelerating risks persist. This paradox—ongoing activity alongside a sense of insufficiency—raises a deeper question: Why do governance failures ...
