Heidegger and Levinas on the phenomenology of the hand: Between work and gesture

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Heidegger and Levinas develop distinct phenomenological accounts of the hand. Both thinkers refuse to treat the hand as merely an anatomical organ, instead viewing it as an essential dimension of human existence. Yet their interpretations diverge sharply. In the first section, I show how Heidegger grounds the function

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

Kripke's Reduction of Löb's Theorem to the Second Incompleteness Theorem

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss Kripke's reduction of Löb's Principle to the Second Incompleteness Theorem. We have a closer look at the non‐constructive character of the reduction. We reflect on what the argument has to tell us. In the Appendix, We give a strengthening of Löb's Principle suggested by Kripke's reduction.

The Continuum Fallacy in Moral Philosophy

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Spectrum arguments’ or ‘continuum arguments’ in moral philosophy are sometimes invalid because they commit a particular fallacy I call the ‘Continuum Fallacy’. An important example is an argument in population ethics described by Derek Parfit, which purports to derive a conclusion that he and others find repugnant on the basis of a weak and ...

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition

Transactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

New Insights Into Lakota Syntax: The Encoding of Arguments and the Number of Verbal Affixes

Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the morphosyntax of transitive constructions in Lakota, with particular emphasis being placed on the encoding of arguments. The analysis of argument marking through verbal affixes in Lakota transitive constructions raises two main questions: the existence or non‐existence of the zero marker for the third person singular and

Lability in Hittite and Indo‐European: A Diachronic Perspective

Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lability is defined as the possibility of a verb to enter a valency alternation without undergoing any change in its form. Labile verbs were common in ancient Indo‐European languages, including Hittite, which mostly features anticausative lability, with reflexive and reciprocal lability being less prominent.
