The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes

Difference and the Liberation of Sufficient Reason
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) holds that every event and entity can be explained by a sufficient reason or cause. Philosophers have long struggled with the question of the PSR's compatibility with freedom, for if what occurs or exists follows necessarily from its sufficient reason then it seems it could not have been otherwise ...

Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect.

Creativity and Embodied Knowledge in Nicholas of Cusa's De mente (1450)
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This article aims to nuance the widespread view that embodied experience plays a secondary role in the acquisition of human knowledge in Nicholas of Cusa's thought. With a focus on De mente (1450), I contend that the body is not limited to being a necessary stimulus to provoke the mind's activity, but rather that finite, material experience ...

This study evaluates this hypothesis by examining the Upper Triassic Dolomia Principale in Northern Italy.
