Since their advent, geographies of religions have emerged as a kaleidoscopic, vital, yet often misunderstood subset social and cultural geography. In this article, I respond to Kong's call (2010) for geographers turn the neglected functional, mythic, symbolic dimensions religion. First, offer brief disciplinary biography, outlining seminal currents research over past century. doing so, identify...

Abstract Some philosophers maintain that physical properties are irreducibly modal: powers . Powers then employed to provide explanations of other phenomena philosophical interest such as laws nature and modality. There is, however, a dispute among theorists about how far the ontology extends: all manner at levels fundamentality or only be found fundamental properties? This paper argues answer ...

Abstract Value pluralism is the metaphysical thesis that there a plurality of values at fundamental level evaluative domain. monism, on other hand, claim just one value. Pluralists, it commonly argued, have an edge over monists when comes to accounting for conspicuous heterogeneity domain and rationality regretting well-justified decisions. Monists, in turn, seem provide far more plausible acco...

Let G=(V,E) be a bi-connected graph with non-negative weights on its m edges. Let n be the number of vertices of G. With respect to any spanning tree T of G we have a fundamental cycle basis of G formed by the m-n+1 fundamental cycles, each one corresponding to one of the co-tree edges. The problem of determining one such basis minimising the sum of the length of its cycles (MinFCB) is known to...

The article deals with the role of science education in explaining modern environmental crisis and ways out it. urgency peculiarities for sustainable development, its challenges to updating content natural disciplines are considered. directions such justified: reflection state science, fundamentality knowledge, interdisciplinary integration worldview orientation. conclusion is made that underst...

Abstract In recent times it has become common to encounter philosophers who recommend the replacement of one principle concerning theory choice, Ockham’s Razor, with another: Laser. Whilst Razor tells us not multiply entities beyond necessity, Laser only avoid multiplying fundamental necessity. There appear be seven arguments in literature for They divide into three categories: from nature non-...

Talk of whether there exists a fundamental basis to the world pervades contemporary metaphysics. Increasingly prominent in the metaphysics literature are arguments as to whether the world resolves itself into a set of fundamental objects or whether, on the contrary, each object is composed of more fundamental objects ad infinitum.1 But there is a school of thought that takes it that, whatever i...

The view that the fundamental kind properties are intrinsic properties enjoys reflexive endorsement by most metaphysicians of science. But ontic structural realists deny that there are any fundamental intrinsic properties at all. Given that structuralists distrust intuition as a guide to truth, and given that we currently lack a fundamental physical theory that we could consult instead to order...
