Metaethics and the Functions of Moral Language

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 74-87, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Metaethics has long included debates about the function of moral discourse. Some have argued that moral statements express our attitudes, others that they serve as prescriptions for how to act, still others that they describe moral facts or properties.

A topological proof of the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem

Economics Letters
We give a new proof of the Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem. We construct two topological spaces: one for the space of preference profiles and another for the space of outcomes. We show that social choice functions induce continuous mappings between the two spaces. By studying the properties of this mapping, we prove the theorem.

Argumentatively Navigating Deep Disagreements

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 29-43, July 2026.
ABSTRACT When disagreements cut deep, epistemic agents face a predicament. Although disagreements have been widely hailed for their epistemic benefits, deep disagreements are often plagued with argumentative hurdles preventing the attainment of such epistemic goods.

Molecular Characterization of GABA-A Receptor Subunit Diversity within Major Peripheral Organs and Their Plasticity in Response to Early Life Psychosocial Stress

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) subtype A receptors (GABAARs) are integral membrane ion channels composed of five individual proteins or subunits. Up to 19 different GABAAR subunits (α1–6, β1–3, γ1–3, δ, ε, θ, π, and ρ1–3) have been identified, resulting ...

Gibbard-Satterthwaite and an Arrovian Connection [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008
A very close link of G-S, the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem to Arrow's impossibility theorem is shown. G-S is derived as a corollary: from a strategy-proof singleseat election method F is constructed an election method G that contradicts Arrow's theorem.

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

We Are in the Anthropocene—Now What?

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract While the term “Anthropocene” is well established across scientific disciplines and social spheres, interpretations are diverse. Taking account of the 2024 rejection by a geological commission to accept the Anthropocene as a geological epoch and the related scientific debate, here we offer a future‐oriented perspective from the viewpoint of ...

Naturalizacja języka etycznego w ramach ekspresywizmu, czyli o owocności perspektywy ewolucjonistycznej w metaetyce (Expressivism and the Naturalization of the Language of Morals: On the Fruitfulness of Evolutionary Perspective in Metaethics) [PDF]

Analiza i Egzystencja, 2010
escriptivists’ method of naturalizing moral language is neither the only nor the most promising one in metaethics. The paper deals with attempts to combine the expressivistic account of moral concepts with an evolutionary research programme.

"Two tribes": Handaxe shape variation shows distinct regional cultural groups in southeastern Britain between 424 000 and 374 000 BP

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 602-621, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines regional and chronological variations in Acheulean handaxe morphology during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (c. 425–365 ka BP) in Britain. Using a data set of 737 handaxes from 13 securely dated sites in East Anglia and the Thames Valley, we apply three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis to examine morphological ...

One Big Happy Family? Unraveling the Relationship between Shared Perceptions of Team Psychological Contracts, Person-Team Fit and Team Performance

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
With the knowledge that team work is not always associated with high(er) performance, we draw from the Multi-Level Theory of Psychological Contracts, Person-Environment Fit Theory, and Optimal Distinctiveness Theory to study shared perceptions of ...
