This essay examines whether ontological vagueness can coherently resolve Peter Unger’s "The Problem of the Many" — the dilemma that ordinary objects like clouds or stones must either not exist or exist in overwhelming multiplicity due to their indeterminate boundaries. While Unger rejects vague objects as incoherent, attributing vagueness instead to semantic imprecision, this essay defen

Anticipation entails contemplating the beneficial and harmful impacts of scientific and technological progress.

To what extent did employers' attempts to control work processes and increase work intensity by introducing new wage systems lead to labour conflicts in the decades around 1900? I adress this question by combining two approaches. Firstly, by reviewing newly digitized micro-level data on work stoppages in Sweden from 1863 to 1927.

Images are created not in a vacuum but in hidden yet potent, contending political forces. The missionary endeavour of the nineteenth century was not exempt from this reality. Images became integral to missionary publications and shaped the metropolitan imagination regarding the colonised people, their religion, gods, and rituals. Displaying the colonies and their people was of utmost importance as

With the revival of the Ni‘matullāhī Order in late eighteenth-century Iran, the confrontation between uṣūlī ‘ulamā’ and Sufis gained new momentum. While the relationship between official Iranian Shiism and organized Sufism had been strained since the rise of the Safavids, the firm establishment of uṣūlism among Shii ‘ulamā’ and the Sufi revival in the late eighteenth century initiated a polemical

This article consists of an introduction to Iyama's higher Auslander–Reiten theory for Artin algebras from the viewpoint of higher homological algebra. We provide alternative proofs of the basic results in higher Auslander–Reiten theory, including the existence of d-almost-split sequences in d-cluster-tilting subcategories, following the approach to classical Auslander–Reiten theory due to Ausland

The Iron Curtain was not an impenetrable divide, and contacts between East and West took place regularly and on various levels throughout the Cold War. This book explores how the European tourist industry transcended the ideological fault lines and the communist states attracted an ever-increasing number of Western tourists. Based on extensive original research, it examines the ramifications of to

Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) kan ses som lokala, immateriella tillgångar som finns på en viss plats i form av exempelvis billig arbetskraft eller en välutvecklad infrastruktur. I FN:s manual för internprissättning från maj 2013 ges både Kina och Indien egna kapitel där de förklarar sin syn på LSAs och hur de anser att multinationella bolag bör ta hänsyn till dessa i sin internprissättning. Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) can be considered as local intangibles in a specific place, as for instance: cheap labour or well-developed infrastructure. Both China and India have their own chapters in the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries from May 2013, where they are able to express their views on LSAs and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) shou
