The Reality of the Social World
Reality of the Social World
Getting Real
Given his known predilection for ontological parsimony, Ockham’s ontology of artifacts is unsurprisingly reductionist: artifacts are nothing over and above their existing and appropriately ordered parts. However, the case of artifacts is notable in that they are real objects that human artisans produce by bringing about a real change: they spatially rearrange existing natural thing(s) or their parts for the sake of some end. This article argues t…
Kingdoms and crowds
This paper reconstructs William of Ockham's (c. 1287–1347) account of the ontology of social groups. Across his writings, Ockham mentions kingdoms, religious orders, crowds, people, armies, and corporations. Using the political community as a case-study against the background of Ockham’s metaphysics of parts and wholes, it is argued that at least some social groups are identical to a plurality of many human beings who have decided to order themse…

Pricing of Staple Foods at Supermarkets versus Small Food Stores
Prices affect food purchase decisions, particularly in lower-income communities, where access to a range of food retailers (including supermarkets) is limited. The aim of this study was to examine differences in staple food pricing between small urban food stores and the closest supermarkets, as well as whether pricing differentials varied based on proximity between small stores and larger retailers. In 2014, prices were measured for 15 staple fo…
Minimum Stocking Requirements for Retailers in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children
Objectives. To examine state variation in minimum stocking requirements for Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)–authorized small food retailers. Methods. We obtained minimum stocking requirements for 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2017 from WIC Web pages or e-mail from the state WIC agency. We developed a coding protocol to compare minimum quantities and varieties required for 12 food and bever…
Successful customer intercept interview recruitment outside small and midsize urban food retailers
Customer intercept interviews can be successfully used to recruit diverse samples of customers at small and midsize food retailers. Future community-based studies using customer intercept interviews should collect data sufficient to report response rates and consider potential differences between the racial/ethnic composition of the recruited sample and the target population
Walter Chatton on Enumerating the Categories
Although the fourteenth-century Franciscan theologian Walter Chatton did not comment on Aristotle’s Categories , he discussed a number of issues relating to categories in his Lectura on the Sentences . The author examines his response to the question ‘How many categories are there?’ He gives three methods by which we can arrive at the number of the categories, the last two of which seem to meet his approval. Chatton advocates a strong isomorphism…
William Ockham on Metaphysics
In this book, Jenny Pelletier offers an account of Ockham's concept of metaphysics as it emerges throughout his philosophical and theological work. She argues that Ockham (c. 1287-1347) believed metaphysics to be a fruitful branch of philosophy and gives a preliminary description of its distinctive subject-matter. Metaphysics is a science that studies all beings and their most general features. It works out a general ontology that includes God. O…
Social Norms and Dietary Behaviors among Young Adults
Young adults' dietary behaviors appear to reflect their perceptions of normative behavior, particularly among friends
