Winged horses, rascals and discourse referents

Theoria, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper discusses some remarks Kaplan made in ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice’ concerning empty names. I show how his objections to a particular view involving descriptions derived from Ramsification can be avoided by a nearby alternative framed in terms of discourse reference.

The New Economics of Cape Slavery

South African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this survey, I argue that the Cape Colony has become one of the most useful settings for studying the economics of unfree labour. The Cape offers a distinctive combination: a slavery regime linking the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds, an urban and agrarian economy, overlapping labour regimes and archives rich enough for linked micro‐data ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

The Motive of Duty and Kantian Moral Worth

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 349-361, October 2026.
ABSTRACT In this article, it is argued that action from duty has special moral worth on Kant's account because (i) it is an instance of good willing, and (ii) the good will is the only unconditional good. This is used to argue, contrary to various commentators, that Kant's doctrine of moral worth is central, not only to Kantian ethics, but to any ...

Reframing Colonial Korea's Forests Through Protection Forests: The Forests of Joseon (1938)

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 377-394, September 2026.
This study examines The Forests of Joseon (1938), a forestry survey compiled by Tokumitsu Nobuyuki under Japanese colonial rule, as a key site of epistemic negotiation between imperial forestry science and Korean indigenous knowledge. Focusing on bíbo forests—geomantic forests believed to regulate energy flow between mountains and villages—the paper ...

Calibrated Autonomy: China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance and the Reconfiguration of Dispute Resolution

Conflict Resolution Quarterly, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 129-138, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that China's 2026 Business Mediation Ordinance represents neither progress toward rule of law nor retreat from it. I propose instead that we are witnessing something I call “calibrated autonomy”—the strategic construction of spaces for private ordering that remain tethered to Party‐State oversight through multiple ...

Amount of escape vs. no-escape training : a variable in conditioning "learned helplessness"

, 1973
Four groups of rats (10 rats per group), composing an independent subjects design, were exposed to various amounts of escape training (escape contingent upon a fixed-ratio of 3 lever presses) and inescapable shook, prior to being tested on an escape task
