Modality Provability - The Inner Workings

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

This book offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the relationship between provability and modality, two fundamental concepts in philosophy and mathematics. Drawing on both philosophical and mathematical insights, the book provides a thorough investigation of this complex and fascinating topic.

In the first part of the book, the authors lay the foundations for their investigation by introducing the basic concepts of modality and provability. They then explore the historical development of these concepts, examining the work of key figures such as Aristotle, Gödel, and Kripke. In the second part of the book, the authors examine the different ways in which modality and provability can be interpreted. They consider both possible worlds interpretations and relational interpretations, and they explore the algebraic and topological approaches to these interpretations.

In the third part of the book, the authors investigate the relationship between provability and some of the most important philosophical problems, such as the liar paradox, the problem of induction, and the question of whether or not mathematics is consistent. They also explore the relationship between provability and other areas of philosophy, such as epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of language.

In the final part of the book, the authors consider some of the open questions and future directions for research in this area, exploring where the field is headed and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the foundations of mathematics, philosophy of language, or the relationship between logic and metaphysics. It is also a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer science, and cognitive science.

Axel Berkofsky, Guido Alberto...

Minilateralism is already among us, and it is here to stay.

Amid growing geopolitical rivalries and the uncertainty provoked by the re-election of Donald Trump, this report aims to shed some clarity on an emerging trend that is already affecting the foreign policy of great powers in a region that is central to global affairs.

Dear White Peacemakers -...

Osheta Moore

Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.   Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.   Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.

The Strangers' House - Writing...

Alexander Poots

A penetrating study and celebration of Northern Irish literature—telling the region’s story through the extraordinary novels and poetry produced by decades of conflict. Northern Ireland is one hundred years old. Northern Ireland does not exist. Both of these statements are true. It just depends on who you ask. How do you write about a place like this? THE STRANGERS' HOUSE asks this question of the region’s greatest writers, living and dead. What have they made of Northern Ireland – and what has Northern Ireland made of them? Northern Ireland is roughly the same size as the State of Connecticut, yet has produced an extraordinary number of celebrated poets and novelists. Louis MacNeice, too clever to be happy, formed by his childhood on the shores of Belfast Lough. C. S. Lewis, who discovered Narnia in the rolling drumlins and black rock of County Down. Anna Burns, chronicler of North Belfast and winner of the Booker Prize. And Seamus Heaney, the man of wry precision, the poet with the gift of surprise. As well as household names, Poots also examines writers who may be less familiar to an American readership. These include the dark and bawdy novels of Ian Cochrane, a celebrated raconteur obsessed with Columbo, and Forrest Reid, a man who saw Arcadia in the Irish countryside, and who was, perhaps, the North’s first queer author. Reading the work of these writers together produces a testament to over one hundred years of literary endeavor and human struggle. THE STRANGERS' HOUSE is the story of how men and women have written about a home divided, and used their work to move, in the words of Seamus Heaney, “like a double agent among the big concepts.”Authors and works discussed…C.

Earth Meadow

Sara Llewelyn

This collection of 50 original paintings form a pictorial diary of a childhood in Wales from 1930-1944, painted retrospectively from memory by artist Eironwy Llewellyn whilst in her seventies. 
 
The jaunty, naive style is intended to convey her early life as remembered ‘through the eyes of a child’, with the various scenes charmingly recalling life as it was lived during this period. Each painting is accompanied by commentary by the artist on its context and subjects, creating a uniquely personal and insightful record of the bygone traditions and community activity of rural Wales.
