ABSTRACT In “The Case for Comparability,” we argue that every comparative expression “F$F$” obeys Comparability: if two things are at least as F$F$ as themselves, then one of them must be at least as F$F$ as the other. One of our arguments appeals to the apparent validity of the Strong Monotonicity schema: x$x$ is F$F$; y$y$ is not F$F$; so, x$x$ is ...

The present paper argues that this orthodoxy is mistaken. As against the received wisdom, physicalism is perfectly compatible with the possibility of zombies and zombie ...

Effects of spectral quality and light regime on the physiological, biochemical, and agronomic responses of strawberry plants grown in an indoor aeroponic system. Constant blue and red light and sinusoidal red and red–blue–white (RBW) light regimes differentially modulated photosynthetic performance, stomatal regulation, antioxidant metabolism, carbon ...

Performing Papal Supremacy: Niccolò Cieco's Capitoli for Martin V and Eugenius IV
ABSTRACT This article analyses two poems performed by the blind oral poet (or canterino) Niccolò Cieco of Arezzo for the first two popes elected after the Great Schism, Martin V and Eugenius IV. It argues that Niccolò's characterisation of the papal office must be understood in relation to both medieval canon law and contemporary ecclesiological ...
