Oxford Studies in Metaphysics Volume 12
Much of the most interesting work in philosophy today is metaphysical in character. Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is a forum for the best new work in this flourishing field. OSM offers a broad view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation, but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in neighboring fields, such as philosophy of mind and philosophy of sci…

Robinson's Regress Argument from Vagueness to Dualism
Howard Robinson's *From the Knowledge Argument to Mental Substance* contains two quite different arguments from the vagueness of composite objects to the conclusion that I am not a physical object at all. One of them, developed over the course of several chapters, takes the following form: All composite physical objects (and only composite physical objects are candidates to be a human being) are non-fundamental; non-fundamental things are inevita…

The Oxford Handbook of Metaphysics
The Oxford Handbook of Metaphysics offers an authoritative and compelling guide to this diverse and fertile field of philosophy. Twenty-four of the world's most distinguished specialists provide broad articles about what kinds of things there are, in what ways they exist, and how they relate to each other. They give the latest word on such topics as identity, modality, time, causation, persons and minds, freedom, and vagueness. This book's breadt…

Persons and Bodies
Scala and the Spinning Spheres
I have argued that contemporary humeans face a trilemma: either (i) give up temporal parts. (ii) deny the humean supervenience of causal relations, or (iii) deny the possibility of there being a difference between rotating and nonrotating homogeneous spheres. Mark Scala (“Homogeneous Simples”, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research , Vol. 64, 2002) describes an interesting class of seemingly possible objects, spinning and stationary simples; an…

Thermoluminescent Dating Using Fine Grains From Pottery
Theories of Masses and Problems of Constitution
The distinction between and has proven to be of considerable interest to both linguists and philosophers. There are familiar syntactic criteria for the distinction: count nouns admit of pluralization, can occur with numerals, take 'a' and 'every' in the singular and 'few' and 'many' in the plural; while mass nouns always take singular verbs, cannot occur with numerals, take determiners like 'much' and 'little' rather than 'few' and 'many', and so…
"Could Extended Objects Be Made Out of Simple Parts? An Argument for "Atomless Gunk
Let us say that an object is wholly (or entirely) of simples just in case it is an aggregate of absolutely parts spread throughout an region-that is, just in case there is a set S such that: (a) every member is a point-sized part of the object, and (b) for every x, x is part of the object if and only if it has a part in common with some member of S. Could a truly substance be composed entirely of (simple) parts? Reflection upon the fact that it m…
The Effect of Hf Acid Etching on the Morphology of Quartz Inclusions for Thermoluminescence Dating
The assumption of isotropic etching in hydrofluoric acid of quartz grains prepared for thermoluminescence dating has been tested by optical and scanning electron microscopy. We have found that the rate of etch is very irregular over the surface of many grains and that some grains are attacked much more severely than others. The uncertainty introduced into TL dating by this effect is discussed
Thermoluminescence From Fine Grains From Ancient Pottery
Thermoluminescence Authenticity Measurements on Core Material From the Bronze Horse of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art
S The Bronze Horse of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, suspected in recent years of being a modern forgery, is shown by thermoluminescence to have been made in antiquity. Besides the standard thermoluminescence measurements, a new technique was used, utilizing single, highly radioactive grains of zircon separated from the core material of the horse. The zircon grains, because of their high radioactivities (100–200 ppm) and subsequent lar…
Thermoluminescent Dating Using Zircon Grains From Archaeological Ceramics
Thermoluminescence Dating
Alpha activities measured for four quartz extracts indicate that, in some samples, the alpha dose‐rate to the quartz due to radioactivity within the quartz can be significant. Uranium mapping of the quartz by neutroninduced fission tracks shows that the radioactivity is not homogeneously distributed
