In a series of recent papers, 1 Hartry Field has proposed a novel class of solutions to the semantic paradoxes, and argued that the new solutions are 'revenge-immune'. He has argued, in particular, that by building on a sufficiently expressive language one can get a language which is able to express its own semantic theory, including its own truth predicates and any intelligible determinacy pre...

ing from some or other opaque one; viz by ignoring the mode of representation in certain specifications of a representational content. There are, to be sure, two ways one might read an assertion that John believes the king of France is bored: according to the opaque construal, the speaker takes responsibility for the definite description, according to the transparent construal he doesn’t. (See ...

We aimed to assess, in socio-cultural context, the level of hatred and revenge in war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The sampling frame consisted of 215 Kosova War veterans, randomly selected. The Harvard Trauma Questionnaire was used to assess the prevalence of PTSD and Manchester Short Assessment of Life was used to assess social satisfactions. The participants were aske...

Abstract We present a revenge argument for non-reflexive theories of semantic notions – which restrict the rule assumption, or (equivalently) initial sequents form ? ? . Our strategy follows general template articulated in Murzi and Rossi [21]: we proceed via definition notion paradoxicality turn breeds paradoxes that standard are unable to block.

Rubik’s Revenge, a 4× 4× 4 variant of the Rubik’s puzzles, remains to date as an unsolved puzzle. That is to say, we do not have a method or successful categorization to optimally solve every one of its approximately 7.401×10 possible configurations. Rubik’s Cube, Rubik’s Revenge’s predecessor (3×3×3), with its approximately 4.33 × 10 possible configurations, has only recently been completely s...

Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy) are characterized by manipulation, emotional coldness, and a lack of empathy. The current studies investigated the influence of Dark Triad traits on heterosexual women’s infidelity and romantic revenge. For Study 1, women (N = 102) completed the Mach IV, NPI-16, Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, bespoke Infidelity Experience...

The pseudocommando is a type of mass murderer who kills in public during the daytime, plans his offense well in advance, and comes prepared with a powerful arsenal of weapons. He has no escape planned and expects to be killed during the incident. Research suggests that the pseudocommando is driven by strong feelings of anger and resentment, flowing from beliefs about being persecuted or grossly...

Although various typologies and models exist for categorizing aggressive behaviors in organizations, no measure currently exists which assesses the construct of organizational revenge. The primary purpose of the present research was to develop and provide preliminary validation for the Organizational Revenge Scale (ORS). Undergraduates (N = 353) completed the ORS, Vengeance Scale (VS), Interper...
