Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate whether different surface treatments applied to 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y‐TZP), with comparable mean roughness (Ra) values, result in comparable values of additional surface roughness parameters, and to evaluate the influence of zirconia surface topography on vertical ...

Contingent Grounding Physicalism
ABSTRACT It is widely held that physicalism is incompatible with the metaphysical possibility of zombies, i.e., beings physically just like us yet lacking in phenomenal consciousness. The present paper argues that this orthodoxy is mistaken. As against the received wisdom, physicalism is perfectly compatible with the possibility of zombies and zombie ...

ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

How Theists Can Answer the “Why be Moral?” Question: An Indirect Reason‐Generation Account
ABSTRACT In this paper, I give a new type of theistic answer to the “Why be moral?” question. After briefly clarifying the version of the question I'm concerned with, as well as extant theistic answers to the question, I argue for a new kind of answer. Roughly, while on standard answers, future (post death) benefits directly generate present reason to ...
