Head hits cause brain damage-but not always. Should we ban sport to protect athletes?
Exposure to electromagnetic fields is strongly associated with cancer development-does that …

In order to make progress towards a better world we need to learn how to do it. And for that
we need institutions of learning rationally designed and devoted to hel** us solve our …

Names: Anjum, Rani Lill, author.| Mumford, Stephen, author. Title: What tends to be the
philosophy of dispositional modality/by Rani Lill Anjum and Stephen Mumford. Description …

A comparison is made of the traditional Loschmidt (reversibility) and Zermelo (recurrence)
objections to Boltzmann's H-theorem, and its simplified variant in the Ehrenfests' 1912 wind …

The purpose of the present paper is to consider the traditional interpretive problems of
quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of a modal ontology of properties. In particular, we …

Despite the importance of the variational principles of physics, there have been relatively
few attempts to consider them for a realistic framework. In addition to the old teleological …

Abstract Costa and Shrapnel ([2016]) have recently proposed an interventionist theory of
quantum causation. The formalism generalizes the classical methods of Pearl ([2000]) and …

In this short survey review we discuss foundational issues of the probabilistic approach to
information theory and statistical mechanics from a unified standpoint. Emphasis is on the …

Dynamical collapse models embody the idea of a physical collapse of the wave function in a
mathematically well-defined way. They involve modifications to the standard rules of …

Stochastic mechanics (SM), as proposed by Edward Nelson and others in the 20th century,
aims to reconstruct quantum mechanics (QM) from a more fundamental theory of classical …
