Powers That Be: An Adventure in Metaphysics

Philosophical Investigations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is an investigation into the increasingly popular trend amongst philosophers on the metaphysics of powers, exemplified by the statement: ‘To be real is to possess a power to affect (or to be affected by) other things’. First, I briefly trace the history of this idea (from the Eleatic dialectic of ancient times to present day quantum

Photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under ultraviolet light associated or not with chemical ultraviolet filters evaluated by Raman spectroscopy

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under UV‐A and UV‐B irradiation using Raman spectroscopy. Pure DEET and IR‐3535 showed intrinsic photostability, whereas DEET diluted in ethanol and a commercial DEET‐based formulation exhibited significant spectral changes after UV exposure.

On the Naturalistic Grounds of Grounding

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether grounding can be naturalized. We adopt a tripartite framework—Ocat (scientific catalogue of existents), Otyp (ontological types), and metaphysics (natures/modal profiles)—and show that classifying as such the relata of putative grounding claims forces a dilemma.

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future

The Russian Review, EarlyView.
Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

A Crazy Idea: Ibn Sīnā on Hylomorphism, the Elements, Mixture and Evolutionary Processes

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ibn Sīnā (c. 973‐1037), the Avicenna of Latin fame, developed a unique theory of the elements and their status in mixtures that severely challenged the views of earlier natural philosophers and in its turn was severely challenged by later Latin Schoolmen in the West.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...
