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 ...

Experience and Time: A Metaphysical Approach
ABSTRACT What is the temporal structure of conscious experience? While it is popular to think that our most basic conscious experiences are temporally extended, we will be arguing against this view, on the grounds that it makes our conscious experiences depend on the future in an implausible way.

An Inverse Boundary Value Problem for a Second Order Elliptic Equation in a Rectangle
In this paper, the inverse problem of finding a coefficient in a second order elliptic equation is investigated. The conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the problem under consideration are established. Numerical tests

Extended Iterative Scheme for QCD: Three-point Vertices
In the framework of a generalized iterative scheme introduced previously to account for the non-analytic coupling dependence associated with the renormalization-group invariant mass scale Lambda, we establish the self-consistency equations of the ...

Metaphysical dependence and the subset relation between powers
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]
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 ...

Recovery of a space-dependent vector source in thermoelastic systems [PDF]
In this contribution, an inverse problem of determining a space-dependent vector source in a thermoelastic system of type-I, type-II and type-III is studied using information from a supplementary measurement at a fixed time.

Feelings Without Emotion: Rethinking Male Friendship and the Value of Personal Reticence
ABSTRACT In various Euro‐American contexts, commentators have highlighted how emotional reticence inhibits men's ability to understand themselves and connect with others. More generally, public discourses of affective expressivity often present curtailed emotion as a form of “repression.” Through an ethnographic account of male railway enthusiasts ...

Singularity theory study of overdetermination in models for L-H transitions
Two dynamical models that have been proposed to describe transitions between low and high confinement states (L-H transitions) in confined plasmas are analysed using singularity theory and stability theory.
