The Necessity of Politics

DANISH YEARBOOK OF PHILOSOPHY, 2005
Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, radical political philosophy has been adrift. The well-worked opposition of variants of deontological liberal rights theory and attempts to (somehow) update the Marxist philosophy of praxis no longer help either to understand or to change their the world.

Necessity of Alteration

Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1967
In this note we point out a not easily fillable gap in the proof of a major result in Chebyshev approximations on an interval [α, β]. Tornheim developed a theory for approximation by families unisolvent of degree n (n-parameter families), which was extended by Rice to families unisolvent of variable degree.

Of liberty and necessity

2004
AbstractIn this section, David Hume defends a compatibilist account of the relation between human freedom and necessary laws of human nature. The compatibilism itself is entirely unremarkable for a thinker influenced by the mechanist tradition; compatibilist interpretations of one form or another are offered by many mechanical philosophers, especially ...

In the two sections which follow I shall argue that Kripke and Putnam are wrong in their shared view of the scope of metaphysical necessities; I shall ...

Necessity and contingency

Studia Logica, 1988
This paper explores conditions under which necessity, Lp, can be defined in terms of non-contingency, \(\Delta\) p (where \(\Delta\) \(p\equiv Lp\vee L\sim p\) must always be true). For systems containing T a defnition is easy, viz. \(L\alpha\) \(=_{df}\alpha \&\Delta \alpha\), because of the axiom Lp\(\supset p\).
