A transpositional grammar-informed investigation of meanings in Mooc video lectures
This study investigates the use of meaning forms within video lectures in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), revealing that different configurations of meaning forms fulfill social, instructional, and semiotic functions. The findings highlight that some meaning forms are frequently used, while others are less prevalent. A key discovery is the positive correlation between the variety of meaning forms and learner perceptions, where a broader rang…
Meaning particles and waves in Mooc video lectures
This study employs transpositional grammar to analyze the structure of meaning in MOOC video lectures. An observation guide was developed using meaning forms in transpositional grammar – speech, sound, body, object, image, and text – as the superordinate categories and populated with sub-categories informed by a literature review, pilot study, and consultation with a panel of experts. Through a detailed examination of 25 video lectures, meaning f…
Aquinas on the Nature and Implications of Divine Simplicity
I discuss what Aquinas’ doctrine of divine simplicity is, and what he takes to be its implications. I also discuss the extent to which Aquinas succeeds in motivating and defending those (putative) implications.
Augustine on will, freedom, and foreknowledge
Towards the beginning of the third book of De libero arbitrio , Augustine defends the compatibility of human freedom and divine foreknowledge. His defence appears to involve the idea that the will is essentially free. I discuss and evaluate Augustine's reasons for thinking that the will is essentially free, and the way that Augustine moves from the essential freedom of the will to the compatibility of human freedom and divine foreknowledge

Japan's Re-emergence as a 'Normal' Military Power
Is Japan re-emerging as a normal, or even a great, military power in regional and global security affairs? This Adelphi Paper assesses the overall trajectory of Japan’s security policy over the last decade, and the impact of a changing Japanese military posture on the stability of East Asia. The paper examines Japan’s evolving security debate, set against the background of a shifting international environment and domestic policymaking system; the…

Liberal Democracy as the End of History
Francis Fukuyama claims that liberal democracy is the end of history. This book provides a theoretical re-examination of this claim through postmodernist ideas. The book argues that postmodern ideas provide a valuable critique to Fukuyama’s thesis, and poses the questions: can we talk about a universal and teleological history; a universal human nature; or an autonomous individual? It addresses whether postmodern theories - concerning the movemen…
Reclassifying Chinese Nationalism
This article assesses the rise of China by exploring a number of recent popular Chinese political texts to go beyond explanations that take the international system as the level of analysis. It proposes that a merging of nationalism and geopolitical thinking is taking place, resulting in the emergence of a new form of nationalism that can be categorised as ‘geopolitik nationalism’ because it deploys many of the themes evident in the political tho…
Liberal Democracy As the End of History
Chapter Four
Is Japan on a path towards assuming a greater military role internationally, or has the recent military normalisation ground to a halt since the premiership of Junichiro Koizumi? In this book, Christopher W. Hughes assesses developments in defence expenditure, civil–military relations, domestic and international military–industrial complexes, Japan's procurement of regional and global power-projection capabilities, the expansion of US–Japan coope…

Japan's security policy, the US-Japan alliance, and the 'war on terror
Japan's response to the 'war on terror', in the form of the despatch of the JSDF to the Indian Ocean and Iraq, has given policy-makers and academic analysts grounds for believing that Japan is becoming a more assertive military power in support of its US ally. This article argues that JSDF despatch does not necessarily mark a divergence from Japan's previous security path over the short term. This is because its policy-makers have continued to he…
Kripke
Saul Kripke, in a series of classic writings of the 1960s and 1970s, changed the face of metaphysics and philosophy of language. Christopher Hughes offers a careful exposition and critical analysis of Kripke's central ideas about names, necessity, and identity. He clears up some common misunderstandings of Kripke's views on rigid designation, causality and reference, the necessary and the contingent, the a posteriori and the a priori. Through his…
Regional Perspectives and Domestic Imperatives
The election of Chen Shui‐bian as President of the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) is probably the biggest setback for Beijing's policy of ‘peaceful unification’ under ‘one country, two systems’ since it began to be developed in the late 1970s. This impression was fostered by the clumsy way in which the PRC tried to manipulate voting in Taiwan through a propaganda war that started in January, and culminated in the televised scene of Premier Zhu…
Embarras and Disconvenance in Poussin’s Rebecca and Eliezar at the Well
This essay closely examines the 17th‐century commentary on Poussin’s 1648 picture Rebecca and Eliezar at the Well in an effort to understand how contemporary viewers might have engaged with the picture – and, by extension, with other cabinet pictures like it. Period terminology helps us to see’s the picture’s tone as more light and even irreverent than 20th‐century criticism has suggested. A careful investigation of Poussin’s visual engagement wi…
Negative existentials, omniscience, and cosmic luck
Suppose there are possible worlds in which God exists but Anselm does not. Then (I argue) there are possible worlds in which Anselm does not exist, but God cannot even entertain the thought that he does not. In such worlds Anselm does not exist, but God does not know that. This, I argue, is incompatible with (a straightforward construal of) the doctrine of God's essential omniscience. Considerations involving negative existentials also call into …
