E-book Infinity, Causation, and Paradox

Infinity is paradoxical in many ways. Some paradoxes involve deterministic supertasks, such as Thomson's Lamp, where a switch is toggled an infinite number of times over a finite period of time, or the Grim Reaper, where it seems that infinitely many reapers can produce a result without doing anything. Others involve infinite lotteries. If you get two tickets from an infinite fair lottery where…

E-book Television Drama in Spain and Latin America : Genre and Format Transla…

An unexpected and enviable problem has emerged in the US: the existence of an excess of quality television series sometimes known as ‘peak TV’.

E-book Modern French Philosophy

We have seen how, as a consequence of the Revolution and of the cold, destructive, criticism of the eighteenth century, there was a demand for constructive thought.

While, however, there were some who combated the principles of the Revolution, as did the Traditionalist…

E-book The Things That Really Matter : Philosophical conversations on the cor…

There are many reasons why I liked Mary so much, as a person, a writer and a philosopher.
