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 ...

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. Yet, the precise basis of incompossibility remains unresolved. The influential ‘logical’ interpretation—exemplified by the Hintikka–D'Agostino thesis—locates incompossibility in contradictions among ...
