Abstract:

This chapter examinesThe Power Elite, a radical work by C. Wright Mills that challenges the foundations of US liberal democracy and analyses the conditions under which democratic pluralism in the country can be reversed. Focusing on the theory of divided and united elites in relation to the system of checks and balances, Mills argues that the emergence of a power elite in the United States after 1945 necessitates a reevaluation of the foundations of democratic pluralism due to the significant changes in the competition for power and alternation in office at different levels of government.

Abstract:

This chapter seeks to steer past familiar criticisms of political liberalism to seek a different source of difficulty located in the notion of identity rather than community. Via a discussion of a form of argument that the chapter establishes to be common to both John Stuart Mill and John Rawls, it locates a tension between what it calls liberal and identitarian ‘mentalities’ which, it argues, cannot be overcome simply by redefining liberalism to be a more capacious doctrine. Rawls is read as providing a contractualist version of Mill’s meta-inductive argument for liberty and this common struc

Abstract:

The axial anomaly is derived both from the non-invariance of the path-integral measure under UA(1) transformations and calculations of specific triangle diagrams. It is demonstrated that the anomalous terms are cancelled in the electroweak sector of the standard model, if the electric charge of all fermions adds up to zero. The CP-odd term F̃μν‎Fμν‎ introduced by the axial anomaly is a gauge-invariant renormalisable interaction which is also generated by instanton transitions between Yang–Mills vacua with different winding numbers. The Peceei–Quinn symmetry is discussed as a possible explanati

Abstract:

Abstract Most nonlinear differential equations arising in natural sciences admit chaotic behaviour and cannot be solved analytically. Integrable systems lie on the other extreme. They possess regular, stable, and well-behaved solutions known as solitons and instantons. These solutions play important roles in pure and applied mathematics as well as in theoretical physics where they describe configurations topologically different from vacuum. While integrable equations in lower space-time dimensions can be solved using the inverse scattering transform, the higher-dimensional examples of anti-sel

By bringing together philosophers whose work on political philosophy, intellectual history, and world philosophies pushes the boundaries of conventional scholarship, this collaborative collection opens up space in political philosophy for new approaches. Garrick Cooper, Sudipta Kaviraj, Charles W. Mills, and Sor-hoon Tan respond to the challenges James Tully raises for comparative political thought. Arranged around Tully’s opening chapter, they demonstrate the value of critical dialogue and point to the different attempts cultures make to understand their experiences. Through the use of method

Abstract:

To an unappreciated degree, the history of Western philosophy is the history of attempts to understand why mathematics is applicable to Nature, despite apparently good reasons to believe that it should not be. A cursory look at the great books of philosophy bears this out. Plato's Republic invokes the theory of “participation” to explain why, for instance, geometry is applicable to ballistics and the practice of war, despite the Theory of Forms, which places mathematical entities in a different (higher) realm of being than that of empirical Nature. This argument is part of Plato's general clai

Abstract:

Two discussions prepare for the argument that the Iliad poet and the Odyssey poet show their competence by producing similes that fall at different points on the spectrum of distribution. First, the consideration of a poet’s competence that emerges in archaic Greek hexameter poems encourages study of how the actual poet exhibits his competence. Second, the model of a spectrum of distribution interacts with current trends in Homeric studies, especially the research of John Miles Foley, Richard Martin, and Deborah Beck.

Abstract:

We saw the notion of regularity-posited causation as a one–one relation: a cause was ‘one object, followed by another’, etc. But, as well as the same cause being able to produce different effects, one effect can have several causes. The ceteris paribus approach treated background conditions as incidental, taking them out of the regularity and making them supplementary. Instead, we accept the complexity of causes as essential to them, as allowed by Mackie, Martin, and Mill’s total cause. In this way, context is not an inconvenience to be explained away; it is what allows a cause to do its work.

Abstract:

This chapter defends an invariance-based account of laws of nature. In constructing a physical theory one looks for a cut or contrast between laws and initial conditions such that (i) the laws are generalizations that are stable or invariant across variations in initial conditions and (ii) as much order or structure as possible is represented in the laws, while any remaining disorder is relegated to the initial conditions. This picture corresponds to an ideal of explanation in which laws are freely combinable with different initial conditions to answer a range of what the author has elsewhere

Hume urged that there is no difference between the obtaining of a power and its exercise; others, that there is no difference between its exercise and the result that occurs. This chapter reinforces the reasons, based in the success of the analytic method in a variety of sciences and often in daily life, for taking exercisings to be real and separate from both the obtaining (along per-haps with triggering if needed) of a power and the overall result. If exercisings are real, the chapter urges, then the Mill-Ramsey-Lewis view of laws is in trouble, at least if laws are going to account for much

This framework is then applied to compassionate engagement with pains of different intensities, duration, and quantities, with the result that differences in being in to
