Authors of American psychology textbooks habitually refer to the “existential-humanistic” or “humanistic-existential” approach to treatment, while therapists in the UK and Europe say that this usage is inaccurate, and that the differences between the existential and humanistic approaches outweigh their similarities. To assess the merit of these competing claims, we must distinguish between lite...

The present paper deals with the semantics of all, some and not in English and related languages. Since these semantics imply a logic, it also deals with the logic of quantification in natural language. To the extent that the linguistic findings are universally valid, the results are relevant to the study of human cognition in general. Since standard quantification theory (SQT) replaced Aristot...

HEX-programs extend ASP by external sources. In this paper, we present domain-specific existential quantifiers on top of HEX-programs, i.e., ASP programs with external access which may introduce new values that also show up in the answer sets. Pure logical existential quantification corresponds to a specific instance of our approach. Programs with existential quantifiers may have infinite groun...

Aging confronts humans with specific existential issues. They frequently cause suffering in old age. Not dealing with or insufficiently dealing with these existential themes may result in crisis, psychological disorders, and illness. By integrating existential themes of aging into the understanding of one's own life, the process of aging contributes to personal maturity.

Incomplete Information research is quite mature when it comes to so called existential nulls, where an existential null is a value stored in the database, representing an unknown object. For some reason universal nulls, that is, values representing all possible objects, have received almost no attention. We remedy the situation in this paper, by showing that a suitable finite representation mec...
