Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

The Analogia Entis for Reformed Theology: Retrieving Calvin's Implicit Metaphysics
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract The famous controversy between Emil Brunner and Karl Barth which led to Barth's ‘No!’ was driven by disagreements over how to read John Calvin: Barth and Brunner never agreed on whether Calvin had a doctrine of the analogy of being. This article rekindles the debate.

Cosmological Perturbations in Unimodular Gravity
, 2014 We study cosmological perturbation theory within the framework of unimodular gravity. We show that the Lagrangian constraint on the determinant of the metric required by unimodular gravity leads to an extra constraint on the gauge freedom of the metric ...

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops the concept of ontological resilience through an ethnographic study of a Sufi‐inspired rural community in southwestern Türkiye. Based on eight months of fieldwork, it examines how resilience is enacted not as a technical adaptation but as an ethical and spiritual practice of living with vulnerability.

PSR, Modal Collapse, and Open Future in Ibn Sīnā's Philosophy
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It has been contended that the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) implies necessitarianism—that is, the view that everything occurs out of necessity. Discussing a well‐known argument for this claim developed by contemporary metaphysicians, I show that Ibn Sīnā has anticipated a counterpart of this argument, and that is precisely why he is ...

Viable inflationary models in a ghost-free Gauss–Bonnet theory of gravity
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 In this work we investigate the inflationary phenomenological implications of a recently developed ghost-free Gauss–Bonnet theory of gravity. The resulting theory can be viewed as a scalar Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet theory of gravity, so by employing the ...

Cosmological Perturbations in Flux Compactifications
, 2004 Kaluza-Klein compactifications with four-dimensional inflationary geometry combine the attractive idea of higher dimensional models with the attempt to incorporate four-dimensional early-time or late-time cosmology.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
