Abstract Objectives Nature exposure may support young women in improving their relationship with their body, enhancing positive body image. However, the mechanisms remain still largely underexplored. A few qualitative studies provided valuable insights, but they lacked generalizability to the broader population of young women, since they often relied ...

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.

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 ...
