‘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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Synthese, 2015
We previously stated an impossibility result and suggested that the standard approaches to vagueness were incapable of providing a satisfactory response to the result. This chapter considers how a more satisfactory response to the result might proceed. This will call for a radical revision in our general understanding of vagueness and in how its logic ...

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.

On The Possibility Of Possible Worlds
Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1975The notion of possible worlds — once an abstruse offspring of Leibnizian theology — seems to enjoy a new lease on life in the hands of contemporary modal logicians and semanticists. The phrase “possible world” crops up with increasing frequency, and, as it is the case with many philosophical catchwords, its very familarity creates a presumption of ...

Foreign Policy, 1980
Nuclear war is possible. But unlike Armageddon, the apocalyptic war prophesied to end history, nuclear war can have a wide range of possible outcomes. Many commentators and senior US government officials consider it a nonsurvivable event. The popularity of this view in Wasington has such a pervasive and malign effect upon American defense planning that

Abstract This book explores an eminently human phenomenon: our capacity to engage with the possible, to go beyond what is present, visible, or given in our existence. Possibility studies are an emerging field of research including topics as diverse as creativity, imagination, innovation, anticipation, counterfactual thinking, wondering ...
