It has provided participating students with some insight into everyday life of ordinary people, approaching—but not necessarily fully perceptive to—certain socio-legal perspectives. But what does legal education vision and envi...

Abstract According to contextualism, the extension of claims personal taste is dependent on context utterance. truth relativism, their depends assessment. On this view, when preferences a speaker change, so does value previously uttered claim, and might be required retract it. Both views make strong empirical assumptions, which are here put test in three experiments with over 740 participants. ...

representations of contexts, recall, assign specific values to variables (§3.3.6). This includes the standards variable s. Hence the inductive premise is false given any abstract context c. (For instance, if we assume a context c1 such that sc1(rich) = 100, then n = 99 provides a counterinstance: x99’s degree of wealth isn’t at least as great as the degree standard of richness in c1, but x100’s...

It is currently widely accepted, as a result of Bell’s theorem and related experiments, that quantum mechanics is inconsistent with local realism and there is the so called quantum non-locality. We show that such a claim can be justified only in a simplified approach to quantum mechanics when one neglects the fundamental fact that there exist space and time. Mathematical definitions of local re...

According to causal idealism, causation is a product of human mental activity in a world lacking a mind-independent causal relation. The view is historically popular. Collingwood (1938) held that causal questions are essentially epistemological rather than ontological. Russell (1913) held that there was no role for causation in fundamental physics. And insofar as Hume famously took causation to...
