Bioethics, 1988
Abstract 5.1 Can we have duties to people who will never actually exist? That the answer is ‘No’ has seemed obvious to many writers. I shall be arguing to the contrary that, where we have a choice between bringing someone into existence and not doing so, the interests of that possible person have to be con sidered.

Fiona Schrading beschreibt in ihrem Beitrag, wie ›Zukunft‹ im Anthropozän als ›gemeinsames Projekt des Menschen‹ inszeniert wird und fragt nach einem anderen Möglichen, das den universalistischen Zeitpfeil durchbrechen könnte. Ein anderes Mögliches ist vielleicht dann möglich, wenn wir das hegemoniale Mögliche der ›one-world world‹ aktiv verlernen und ...

Possible Selves, Possible Futures
Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2015This qualitative study explored the external and internal reasons involved in students’ decisions to return to college after an extended absence. Specifically, it sought to explore the role of students’ concepts of who they might be (or want to avoid becoming) in the college and career domains of their lives, their possible selves.

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1968
The kinematical groups are classified; they include, besides space-time translations and spatial rotations, ``inertial transformations'' connecting different inertial frames of reference. When parity and time-reversal are required to be automorphisms of the groups, and when a weak hypothesis on causality is made, the only possible groups are found to ...

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2006
When it comes to creative technique, cover artist Rick Spix will sometimes have a plan in mind while other times implement a more improvised trial-and-error approach. Spix says that the Ultrafractal program lets him simply create art the way he wants to.

The Possibility of Possibility
Journal of Economic Studies, 1985It is now over 35 years since Professor Shackle published his masterly Expectation in Economics, therein formalising and synthesising his innovative work of the previous decade. Since then, though in varying degrees, controversy has raged over the relevance of his ideas for economic theory, and over the relevance of economic theory for economic life.

This book links the questions people ask about why things exist, why the world is the way it is, and whether and how it is possible to change their society or world with the societal myths they develop and teach to answer those questions and organize and bring order to their communal lives.

Merely Possible Possible Worlds
2012This chapter first sketches a minimal theory of propositions—one that ascribes to propositions just the structure that anyone who is willing to talk of propositions at all must ascribe to them. It extends the minimal theory by adding some assumptions about the modal properties of propositions and possibilities, and then sketches a general model of ...

The Possibilities for Possibility Theory
1982Possibility theory is discussed as an extension of probability theory arising from the need to express subjective information quantitatively in linguistic terms, but without the restrictions of probability numbers. The concept of fuzzy sets is introduced as the basis of possibility theory and the broad scope of applications is mentioned.

‘Possible For’ and ‘Possible That’
Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1981In this century, much of the discussion of the free will problem has centered around the conditional analysis of ‘can’. Following G.E. Moore, most compatibilists have based their position on the supposition that to say a person could have acted otherwise is simply to say that he would have acted otherwise, if he had chosen (or willed) to.
