Taking stock of the spectrum of arguments for biodiversity

open access: yesBiodiversity and Conservation, 2016
This paper provides an analysis of the spectrum of arguments associated with the term biodiversity, as expressed in the literature. Through sampling of the grey and peer-review literature, and testing of results through semi-structured interviews, this review presents a total of 31 different instrumental and non-instrumental premises used in arguments ...

Incommensurability and vagueness in spectrum arguments: options for saving transitivity of betterness

open access: yesPhilosophical Studies, 2017
The spectrum argument purports to show that the better-than relation is not transitive, and consequently that orthodox value theory is built on dubious foundations. The argument works by constructing a sequence of increasingly less painful but more drawn-out experiences, such that each experience in the spectrum is worse than the previous one, yet the ...

Inverse-power potentials with positive-bound energy spectrum from fractal, extended uncertainty principle and position-dependent mass arguments

European Physical Journal Plus, 2020
In this study, we have introduced a new generalized momentum operator which takes simultaneously into account the extended uncertainty principle, the concept of position-dependent mass and fractal gradient arguments. The associated Schrodinger equation is obtained and analyzed for the case of potentials characterized by inverse-power terms with ...

The spectrum of end of life care: an argument for access to medical assistance in dying for vulnerable populations

Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, 2018
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was legalized by the Supreme Court of Canada in June 2016 and became a legal, viable end of life care (EOLC) option for Canadians with irremediable illness and suffering. Much attention has been paid to the balance between physicians' willingness to provide MAiD and patients' legal right to request medically assisted ...
