What does it mean to be a post‐Newtonian? Schelling on competing scientific models

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract While Schelling's position has often been portrayed as highly critical of Newton, his discussion of Newton's theories has never been thoroughly studied. The goal of this paper is to analyze in more detail the relationship between Schelling and Newton, with an eye toward the fundamental question that guides Schelling: how can conflicts between ...

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 ...

Leibniz on Compossibility: Towards a Neo‐Logical Interpretation

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leibniz's concept of compossibility explains why not all possible substances are actualised, thereby resisting Spinoza's necessitarianism.

The Affective Afterlife of the “Smelly Immigrant” Trope: Contested Scents, “Race,” and Olfactory Contact Zones in Berlin

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes the notion of “olfactory contact zones” to investigate the role of odors and scents and the affects they give rise to in Berlin's urban publics. Drawing on the notion of the “afterlife” of racialised violence, it shows how tropes of the “smelly immigrant,” anchored in European antisemitism and colonial history, live on ...

The keys to the garden: Capital, class, and the repurposing of Persian mystical poetry in Los Angeles

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora. Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured

Beyond Connection: Paradoxes of Psychedelic Resonance in Late Modernity

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay explores the enduring suspicion that psychedelic experiences are antithetical to the structural dynamic of modern societies through Hartmut Rosa's concepts of ‘resonance’ and ‘social acceleration’. Rosa's theoretical framework is particularly generative for studying the social meaning of contemporary psychedelia because it enables a

Global Three‐Dimensional Simulation of Magnetospheric Dynamics During the Extreme Geomagnetic Storm of 10–11 May 2024

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract This study presents a high‐resolution three‐dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the historic geomagnetic storm of 10–11 May 2024, using observational data for the ACE solar wind input. This extreme event was characterized by intense solar wind dynamic pressure (∼50 nPa) and exceptionally strong interplanetary magnetic ...
