Leibniz on Compossibility: Towards a Neo‐Logical Interpretation

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leibniz's concept of compossibility explains why not all possible substances are actualised, thereby resisting Spinoza's necessitarianism. Yet, the precise basis of incompossibility remains unresolved. The influential ‘logical’ interpretation—exemplified by the Hintikka–D'Agostino thesis—locates incompossibility in contradictions among ...

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 8, Page 1973-2102, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

The Revo‐Evo Debate in the History and Philosophy of Science

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
The paper juxtaposes revolutionary and evolutionary positions in epistemology in general as well as the history of science. While it deems the evolutionary arguments more persuasive, it also stresses the dependence of our assessment of change on the language we choose to describe the theories and positions under consideration.

Ideals, ideal extenders and forcing axioms

, 2010
Ein ideal heißt abschüssig falls die Ultrapotenzen mit einem für den zugehörigen Forcing generischen Filter stets fundiert ist. Es werden die zusammenhänge zwischen abschüssige Ideale und Forcing Axiome analysiert.

The proper forcing axiom for $\aleph_1$-sized posets, $\omega_1$-linked symmetrically proper forcing, and the size of the continuum

We show that the Proper Forcing Axiom for forcing notions of size $\aleph_1$ is consistent with the continuum being arbitrarily large. In fact, assuming GCH holds and $\kappa\geq\omega_2$ is a regular cardinal, we prove that there is a proper and ...

Forcing Axioms and the Consistency Strength of the Proper Forcing Conjecture via Supercompact Cardinals

The determination of the exact consistency strength of the Proper Forcing Axiom (PFA) and its strengthening, Martin's Maximum (MM), remains one of the central open problems in modern set theory. While the consistency of these axioms was established relative to a supercompact cardinal by Baumgartner and Foreman-Magidor-Shelah respectively, the question ...

A ‘Wholly Unjustifiable Treatment of British Subject’? The Detention of W. T. Goode in the Baltic, 1919

History, Volume 111, Issue 396, Page 386-403, June 2026.
Abstract In the summer of 1919, W. T. Goode, the Manchester Guardian’s special correspondent in Russia and the Baltic, was arrested in the Estonian capital Tallinn and briefly detained aboard a British warship. Goode's detention caused a furore, leading to accusations of kidnap, heated commentary in the press and questions in parliament.

On Schopenhauer's Debt to Spinoza1

European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 656-672, June 2026.
Abstract Schopenhauer offers ‘nature is not divine but demonic’ as a direct rebuttal of Spinoza's pantheism, his identification of ‘nature’ with ‘God’. And so, one would think, he ought to have been immune to the ‘Spinozism’ that became, as Heine called it, ‘the unofficial religion’ of the age.

UNWARRANTED CONFIDENCE: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE POVERTY OF ANTI‐REALISM

History and Theory, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 271-297, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Poverty of Anti‐Realism: Critical Perspectives on Postmodernist Philosophy of History, edited by Tor Egil Førland and Branko Mitrović, celebrates the new dawn of historical realism, which it claims supersedes the erroneous and harmful anti‐realism.
