Metaphysical dependence and the subset relation between powers
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract What is the relation between the token powers of higher‐level occurrences and the token powers of more basic physical occurrences? In related but somewhat different ways, Sydney Shoemaker and Jessica Wilson argue that the former are a proper subset of the latter, and that this can provide a viable account of higher‐level causation within a ...

Transition periods and miracles [PDF]
Belgrade Philosophical Annual, 2015 We argue that small miracles and transition periods, notions that play part in Lewis's standard resolution of vagueness of counterfactuals, lead his theory to errors, either by giving conditionals wrong truth values, or by going against other Lewis's ...

A Role‐Mediated, Motivational Account of Interpersonal Trust
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Social interactions rarely occur with persons in the abstract. Rather, we engage with parents, teachers, neighbours—that is, persons in various capacities, as occupants of social roles. If social interactions are role‐mediated, then interpersonal trust must also be directed at persons in their roles.

Determination of a diffusion coefficient in a quasilinear parabolic equation
Open Mathematics, 2017 This paper investigates the inverse problem of finding the time-dependent diffusion coefficient in a quasilinear parabolic equation with the nonlocal boundary and integral overdetermination conditions.

No Guide to Ground: Right‐Making and Right‐Makers
Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 606-618, September 2026.ABSTRACT It is often taken for granted that right‐makers, that is, the things that make something—say, an action—right, do so by explaining why it is right. This view can be spelled out in terms of metaphysical ground: right‐making just is grounding of rightness facts.

Statistical Inversion of Sea Surface Temperature to Predict Submesoscale Near‐Surface Ocean Currents
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Direct in situ measurements of sea surface currents (SSC) at submesoscales (1–100 km) are challenging. For this reason, inversion techniques have been utilized to infer SSC from satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data, which are straightforward to obtain. However, existing inversion methods often do not adequately account for uncertainty.
